I liked action and character development for X-Men villains development was lacking and pacing was rushed.

I dimly remember these from when they first came out. It is interesting to see how these characters were originally introduced. They have certainly grown and changed a great deal since then

As part of my continuation reconciliation with the X-Men I picked up the second Uncanny trade. I still love that Wolverine isn't very prominent, although by the end of these stories he is starting to become less of a raging asshole and more of a two-dimensional character. Nightcrawler is obviously Claremont's favorite X-Man (and by extension my favorite so far). Overall the quality of the stories is good, but a couple of fill-in issues with terrible art take a half-star, or the idea of a half-star, away from my rating (3 and 1/2).

Favorite issues: #103, #105, #107 and especially #108.
I liked that we get to see a lot more from some characters like Ororo and Jean (my current faves) and of course we get a lot more of team members development. I liked that there was a lot of action and well written storylines. Some issues were boring, but less than last volume.
I'm so excited for the Phoenix storyline, I know it's only starting, but it's already nice and interesting.

A lot of this was meh and filler, but this introduced the Shi’ar and had some fun stuff involving the M’Krann crystal and Phoenix. Unfortunately, introducing the star jammers, the Imperial Guard and Lilandra, while forcing that love story between her and Xavier, just made for a mess.

Loved these stories. I have vague memories of the Shi'ar from the 90s animated series, but it was wonderful to get introduced to this world with such a compelling story.
