About the series
Marvel's Uncanny X-Men (2013–2016) redefined the mutant team under the primary stewardship of writer Brian Michael Bendis, with frequent artistic contributions from Chris Bachalo and Kris Anka. This 36-issue run centered on Cyclops's revolutionary faction of X-Men, operating as fugitives after the events of Avengers vs. X-Men, and placed a spotlight on Illyana Rasputina/Magik as a key figure navigating her dark sorcery and fractured morality. With a rotating team of writers and artists, the series blended high-stakes action with introspective character drama, cementing its importance as a bold, controversial chapter in X-Men lore that challenged the team's traditional heroic identity.
