The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 5
by Chris Claremont
All the Claremont stuff was enjoyable aside from some weird stuff involving Wolverine lecturing people on not killing when, you know, he's Wolverine. Rachel is a little too whiny for my liking but I still enjoy her story.
The issue with this Omnibus is about half of it is filler. I'm not crazy about annuals but I at least can respect those being put in. The Nightcrawler miniseries is fun, all I can say there. But holy shit I hated Longshot. I genuinely debated just giving up the omnibus because of how insufferable I found it and it doesn't help because as of right now Longshot isn't super involved with the main story. The writing was wack, the story was boring, but the art was pretty cool I'll give it that.
Finishing this Omni felt more like a chore then the others and I really think they should've found a better way to bridge to Mutant Massacre, I would've been perfectly happy with a cheaper and smaller Omni without Longshot and Nightcrawler (even though I enjoyed that one).
