Power Rankings - On Sale November 1995
Another very mediocre month: Uncanny is the clear standout, with Madureira turning in moody, atmospheric art as Sabretooth escapes from the mansion & mauls Psylocke on his way out, and the subsequent Sabretooth one-shot deserves a nod just for the way it tells a well-executed action-oriented story.
Otherwise, the rest of the books fall into roughly the same category: nothing outright bad, but nothing uniformly good, all with something to recommend them but also something to detract from them. The distance between #3 and #10 is pretty small.
1. Uncanny X-Men #328
2. Sabretooth Special #1
3. Excalibur #93
4. Generation X #11
5. X-Force #50
6. X-Men (vol. 2) #48
7. Cable #27
8. Wolverine #97
9. X-Man #11
10. X-Factor #118
thanks for throwing in (comments section) with sales figures on the X-Force #50 post! ..think i like Polina's art as much now as I liked Madureira's then.
