Summary: Sucks
Comment: I have all the issues and its not worth buying the trade paperback, the art is inconsistant and the storyline is horrific. Don't support Chuck Austen and this atrocity!

Summary: Chuck Austen = Horrible Writer
Comment: I will keep this short and simple. As a reader of countless X-Men stories, I have never run up against such a horrible writer as Chuck Austen. I don't know if he has naked pictures of the Marvel brass or what, but I just can't imagine why he would get the chance to destroy one of thier best comics. Stories that go nowhere. Character development that ignores the past. AWFUL plot lines... I could go on and on.
Save your money. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING WITH CHUCK AUSTEN ON IT!

Summary: Terrible but not quite as bad as Dominant Species
Comment: Popular opinion says that Draco is Chuck Austens worst Uncanny XMen arc, which is saying alot since his whole run has been terrible. But the truth of the matter, according to me at least, is Dominant Species is his worst.
Draco tries to explore the character of Nightcrawler, but it ends up marring the character and never really going anywhere. Turns out Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique and what we are led to believe is Satan, but who actually is an ancient mutant (yet another prehistoric mutant) who the "character" of Satan was based on. Ok, if you can get past the trappings of judeo-christian mythology, which never translates well when used in popular fiction in the first place, the story degenerates to the Satan character trapping the X-Men in his dimension (again another skewed take on the concept of Hell) and forcing them to sit at his dinning room table for, what, 3 or 4 issues worth of bad dialogue?
Its anticlimactic, nonsensical and holds the title as the second worst arc (so far) in Chuck Austen's offensively bad run on Uncanny X-Men.
If you want to read good X-Men stories go read some of Grant Morrison's New X-men books, or go read Essential X-Men 1 and 2. This crap by Chuck Austen gives the X-Men brand a bad name.
