A review by crookedtreehouse
Uncanny X-Men: The New Age, Volume 4: End of Greys by Chris Bachalo, Chris Claremont

3.0

The first half of this volume, focusing on the Shi'ar attempt to wipe the Grey family off the map is probably the best 21st century Claremont story. While having Chris Bachalo on art is part of the reason, there's also the fact that Claremont's story is focused in a way that none of the rest of his modern stories are. By making this a Rachel Grey story in which other mutants appear, as opposed to a team of his favorite B-side X-Men, he has time to actually develop some of the characters. Not too much. There's still some of the trademark Claremont hair-trigger turns, the most blatant in this volume is Rachel's doting grandmother who turns into a mutant hating bigot so that we don't have to feel bad when she dies.

The second half of the book expands its focus, and suffers a bit for it. It's not terrible. In fact, I'd put it up with late 80s Claremont, whcih is a sizable improvement after X-Treme X-Men, and the rest of this Uncanny New Age run.
