Action-packed from start to finish the book focuses mainly on the creation of an X-Men nation and the ensuing action and drama it creates.

Story: As already mentioned, the bulk of the issues story revolves around the new X-men nation that has been created, but interestingly enough, the story does not start out there. In fact, the comic book begins in almost a whole different plot line, which although confusing, makes for a much more intriguing read.

Art: Greg Land, the artist behind this issue, has an amazing ability to portray action and he does it particularly well in this issue. From the lines that indicate the rippling muscles on the characters to the eyebrows raised ever so slightly to indicate feelings, Land has an amazing Knack for turning the story writers’ ideas into stunning artwork. He also does some very interesting stuff with crossover art into different panels, where the Art seems to stretch all across the page, yet it is still easy to understand. Best of all though, his artwork is detailed enough to portray every aspect of the story, yet simplistic enough to not confuse the readers anyway.

Overall: Uncanny X-Men #515 is all of what a comic book should be. It has the perfect balance of creative artwork, interesting plot, original ideas and concepts, and a great cliffhanger. Even if you aren’t a fan of comic books in general, you might find yourself enjoying this one due to its originality beyond typical comic books
