On Sale October 1995 Power Rankings
1. Uncanny X-Men #327
2. Generation X #10
3. X-Men (vol. 2) #47
4. Wolverine #96
5. X-Force #49
6. X-Man #10
7. X-Factor #117
8. Cable #26
9. Excalibur #92
What a thoroughly mediocre month, with nearly every issue hitting roughly the same level of "competent but not commendable.
Uncanny #327 is really the only standout, and even there, it features Roger Cruz on art instead of Joe Madureira. X-Man gets enough of a boost to take it out of the basement thanks to the narrative relevance of Nate meeting Professor X for the first time, while Adjectiveless continues to suffer from feeling like a fill-in book even as Andy Kubert remains on board, and Excalibur drops from its previous month's high thanks to the ill-advised "Colossus wails on the largely defenseless Pete Wisdom for an issue" plot.
