X-Men: Raid on Graymalkin is part of the larger From the Ashes relaunch, making it the first (I think) crossover event of this new X-Men era. It pits the X-Men against the Uncanny X-Men, with a few extra twists, because apparently, there wasn’t enough going on.
Where the last volume introduced new characters and brought a different team together, Uncanny X-Men Vol. 2 took everything a step further. We still have our favorites on the team (have I mentioned how much I love having a Rogue-led team?), but things are morphing and changing.
Okay, there are a few key phrases you can waggle in my face that will get me to read an X-Men series. “Rogue-led” is one of them, and “Written by Gail Simone” is another. So, I knew I was going to check out Uncanny X-Men the moment it was announced.
Gail Simone's famous series comes to a conclusion in The Variants #5. I'll admit, I'm sad to see it go. This series was phenomenal. Not only did it take risks (and have fun doing so), but it hit as hard as Jessica Jones. I don't think I need to explain how hard that is!
