Collects Uncanny X-Men #530-534.

The X-Men on Utopia are getting sicker and sicker and their powers are shutting down one-by-one. Wolverine's healing factor is down and he's suffering adamantium poisoning, but he's much better off than the mutants whose mutation defines their bodies, like Rockslide and Mercury. And if that weren't bad enough, The Collective Man has Chinatown in the palms of his many hands and the Sublime Corporation is kicking the plan they've been hatching for 2 years into high gear!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

MATT FRACTION writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and stags. Surely there is a metaphor there? He is 42 years old and everyone he went to high school with is dead now probably.

He won the first-ever PEN USA Literary Award for Graphic Novels; he, or comics he's a part of, have won Eisners, Harveys, and Eagles, which are like the Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes of comic books, and all seem about as likely. He's a New York Times-best-selling donkus of comics like SEX CRIMINALS (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best New Series, the 2014 Harvey Award for Best New Series, and named TIME Magazine's Best Comic of 2013), SATELLITE SAM, ODY-C, HAWKEYE (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best Single Issue), wrote the longest consecutive run when re relaunced THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (2010 Eiser Award winner for Best New Series) with Salvador Larocca and, oh, lordy, so many more.

Coming in 2018 will be ADVENTUREMAN! with Terry and Rachel Dodson and NOVEMBER with Elsa Charretier from Image Comics.

Under their company Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, Inc., Fraction and DeConnick are currently developing television for NBC/Universal.

Blast from the past!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012

Let me start off by saying, if you are an avid reader of X-men, please, PLEASE pick this one up and read it! You will NOT be dissapointed! In these brilliant pages you will find the story of the X-men, under quarantine as directed by Scott Summers, or Cyclops, the current leader of the mutant community. A mutant based flu was created by the Sublime corp to specifically attack any being possessing the X-gene. This story also inter-twines with the fate of Sebastain Shaw. I loved this book for several reasons, one, I am a HUGE fan of Emma Frost. I think she is a brilliant character, witty, cold, defensive, but with oh-so-much class. Not only is she drawn exceptionally, but her puns and wit are the best I've seen in any book for a long time. She is def. a star in this novel. I've also been a fan of the "under-dogs" in the X-men world since I was little. One of which, in my opinion, is light-controlling disco/pop diva Allison Blair, also known as Dazzler. With Utopia on lock-down, and many of the X-men's "big guns" out of the picture, Dazzler, Pixie, Northstar, Angel, and Storm, take to the streets to keep the city safe. I really enjoyed this part of the story too, because, again, I am a fan of a lot of X-men characters who really don't get any special treatment in many of the current runs. It was awesome to see these few X-men work together to keep the city safe, and to defend the other X-men stuck on Utopia with the flu. It really felt like classic X-men, and the throw-back was welcome and fresh, even though it's been done LOTS of times throughout the entire X-men saga. If you are a brand new reader to X-men, this book might be a little confusing, but an awesome read. I give it five stars!!!!!

The X-Men Catch the Flu!

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

Collects UNCANNY X-MEN #530-534.

Synopsis:
The X-Men catch a flu-like disease that attacks their mutant powers. And the more powerful/pervasive the mutation, the more seriously the X-Man suffers. Wolverine is on the brink of death and Iceman is forced to drink room-temperature tap water. In order to prevent the disease from spreading the X-Men quarantine themselves on their island compound, Utopia.

Of course with the X-Men away, the bad guys will play. San Francisco is menaced by an evil mutant and the X-men must decide between saving San Francisco and possibly exposing/spreading the potentially leathal mutant flu.

Pros & Cons:
Perhaps the most obvious con is the boiler-plate story arch. The "anti-mutant flu"? (Didn't we just get over the legacy virus?). However the pro's outweigh the cons. The flu keeps the "big-guns" down, so the quarantine story is able to develop and spotlight some of the other x-men. Moreover, I appreciate the art in the X-men Quarantine. Artist Greg Land (not universally acclaimed) brings a measure of realism to the art of the X-men that works well with desperate/bleak/persecution storylines that are the hallmarks of the series.

Overall:
This is a solid collection of recent X-Men. It is probably not going to be a long-term significant story-arch; however, fans of the X-men will enjoy seeing their favorite heroes figure out how to escape from another nearly hopeless situation.

An Amazing Read!

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2013

Fraction and Land are an amazing team and this book is the epitome of that collaboration. This particular story arc actually starts in "X-Nation" but concludes here. Without giving away too much, some bad guys have decided to market the X-Men's powers to regular humans. Cyclops et. al. will obviously stop at nothing to foil their plans! It's an intricate game of cat and mouse that will keep you guessing until the final plot twist!

Nothing great….

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014

(My rating is actually 2.5 stars)
I think it’s not very often that Marvel comes up with some great “X-Men” titles…Sadly, this book is NOT one among those.
This book contains two plots. In one , Emma Frost, along with Kitty Pryde and Fantomex, kidnap Sebastian Shaw from the X-Men’s Brig, for reasons known only to Frost and revealed later in the book. In the second plot, the “Sublime” organization, run by Lobe, has unleashed a deadly virus on mutants that makes them lose their power and is slowly weakening and killing them. At the same time, Lobe has developed a serum that will convert humans to mutants. And, there’s a new villain/mutant called Collective Man who wants to take over China town.
The plot involving Emma Frost is the weakest story in the book. The reason for her to kidnap Shaw , when revealed at the end, didn’t make much sense. He’s a murderer and deserves appropriate punishment but at the end, when you see what Emma does to him, it’s kind of ridiculous. Another thing which didn’t make sense in this plot is why would Emma include Kitty Pryde in her plan (especially when the two of them NEVER get along well)? Moreover, I’ve never liked Emma Frost’s character from the start, meaning, ever since she joined X-Men. She used to work with Shaw before. She was bad. And still Scott Summers had no qualms about including her in the X-Men. Anyway, just an opinion.
The story about the virus, had lot of potential but unfortunately it wasn’t properly utilized by the authors. Initially it starts well, but slowly it gets boring and the climax was bit disappointing. Imagine X-Men losing their powers and fighting with Guns, swords and hammers? Well, not appealing. And , among the bad guys, there wasn’t even ONE guy with gun, to stop the now-powerless X-Men. Great writing.
The characters looked artificial and hollow. As a reader, you don’t feel any emotional connect with any of the characters. This book might have style but definitely lacks substance and class.
The artwork is good. But my one frequent complaint about Land’s work is that most of the female characters look alike. (Needless to say, a good artist should make each character look unique). And also, most of the female characters are ,well, glamorous. Maybe it helps in selling the book.
In the end, I’ll just say that I’m bit disappointed with this book. Nothing interesting at all in the entire book.
This book is only worth for a X-completist , who likes collecting any and all X-Men books.

This is one of the best X-Men stories that I have read. The artwork is superb and the storytelling is excellent. The price on Amazon for this Graphic Novel is very affordable. Thank you for reading.

I really liked Matt Fraction's work leading up to this, but he lost all of his momentum here. You could probably skip this storyline and be fine.
