unluckily , as this week’sUncanny X - Men#13 reveals , there ’s a trouble . Cyclops ' team have no money , no base of operations , and no plane . as luck would have it , they do have costume . water flea quietly broke into the tunnels underneath the quondam X - Mansion , and shoot everything he could find - including uniforms . It turns out that ’s the amusing story understanding explaining why the X - Men are donning the onetime Jim Lee costumes , and whyWolverine has gone back to his brown - and - tan togs .
It ’s an in - universe account for a amour propre that basically plays upon fans ' signified of nostalgia ; the disco biscuit - Men were at their biggest during the ' ninety , and it ’s no concurrence that both Cyclops and Wolverine are now put on costume they wore during the dealership ’s halcyon days .
The last few years have seen theX - Mencomics really attempt to dine out on nostalgia , and for the most part it has n’t really worked . For all that ’s the case , though , Matthew Rosenberg ’s current run is seeming increasingly exciting . He ’s used the suppose " death " of the X - Men to shrink the cast down to a manageable size of it , and the squad Cyclops has get together is notably forgetful on A - listers ; Wolverine aside , the other members are Havok , Magik , Wolfsbane , Karma , Mirage , and Madrox the Multiple Man . water flea is currently the central trope , largely because he ’s the one calling the shots , but it ’s frankly quite refreshing to have an X - Men team that is n’t just grievous - hitters . Salvador Larroca ’s art evokes a drab , sombre tone , truly emphasizing the fact that the mutant race seems to be on the brink of extinction .
It will be fascinating to see where things go from here . The truth is that Cyclops ' team is ill - equipped for the commission they ’ve shoot on , not least because they have no cells in which to hold any prisoners they take . They ’re literally based in the rooms above a pub , whose landlord is a friend of Wolverine ’s , and by the end of the outcome they literally have a supervillain chain up in the basement . This could be quite a wild ride .
