That said, writing a year-long space epic featuring none of the more iconic characters as his introductory arc probably didn’t help much. Part of me suspects that this might be down to factors outside Brubaker’s control – Joss Whedon was monopolising the most popular X-Men for Astonishing X-Menwhen Brubaker kicked off his run – but part of it comes down to the simple fact that Brubaker simply isn’t a great writer of team books. Consider this an appendix.Įd Brubaker’s run on Uncanny X-Men isn’t as widely praised as his work on Daredevilor Captain America – in fact, while Marvel couldn’t wait to churn out omnibus releases of his work on those two titles, his Uncanny X-Men run, like Matt Fraction’s run which followed, has been haphazardly collected. Anyway, this isn’t really a “big” crossover in its own right, but it factors into a big event I’ll be looking at later on today. I’m currently wading my way through Marvel’s somewhat complicated continuity, with a major focus on The Avengers, what with the film due out in 2012 and all that.
