This is one of the special "Point One", jumping on titles and is an introduction to the Uncanny X-Men for new readers.
The story is told from a slightly different aspect as Kate Kildare (the X-Men's Public Relations Specialist) is bringing a freelance photographer to Utopia to take some portraits of the X-Men.
The story is a bit weak, but the nub of it is that some Hydra agents impersonating A.I.M. operatives have blackmailed businesses into believing that they will detonate a device to cause an earthquake down the Western seaboard if they do not pay. The X-Men investigate and aprehend these villans and Magneto is given a fantastic opportunity to save they day by minimising the earthquakes effects using his unique abilities, saving the day and getting some unbeatable good PR to boot.
All in all a satisfactory issue with some good bits and some poor bits, but it is a "Point One" issue, so we'll see where it goes from here.
3/5
