    Kieron Gillen is a British writer, journalist and critic best known for his work in comics and his previous work in entertainment journalism.

    Gillen's first graphic novel, PHONOGRAM (with artist/co-creator Jamie McKelvie), was published through IMAGE COMICS in 2006. Since then he's found work writing for MARVEL, AVATAR, BOOM, TOKYOPOP, DYNAMITE and more that don't spring to mind right now.

    At Marvel, he's written runs on books including THE UNCANNY X-MEN, THOR, YOUNG AVENGERS, IRON MAN, JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY, STAR WARS, DOCTOR APHRA and DARTH VADER.

    Books he's created included UBER, MERCURY HEAT and THREE, but is best known for the ongoing gods-as-popstar series with long time collaborators Jamie McKelvie and Matt Wilson THE WICKED + THE DIVINE launched to both huge critical and commercial success in 2014. It will conclude in 2019.

    He is working on other things.

    In his previous life as a critic, his work has appeared in WIRED, THE GUARDIAN, PLAYSTATION MAGAZINE UK, PC GAMER, EDGE and far too many others to count. In 2007 he was one of the founders of ROCKPAPERSHOTGUN.COM, what is now the world's premier PC-centric games blog.

    MATT FRACTION writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and stags. Surely there is a metaphor there? He is 42 years old and everyone he went to high school with is dead now probably.

    He won the first-ever PEN USA Literary Award for Graphic Novels; he, or comics he's a part of, have won Eisners, Harveys, and Eagles, which are like the Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes of comic books, and all seem about as likely. He's a New York Times-best-selling donkus of comics like SEX CRIMINALS (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best New Series, the 2014 Harvey Award for Best New Series, and named TIME Magazine's Best Comic of 2013), SATELLITE SAM, ODY-C, HAWKEYE (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best Single Issue), wrote the longest consecutive run when re relaunced THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (2010 Eiser Award winner for Best New Series) with Salvador Larocca and, oh, lordy, so many more.

    Coming in 2018 will be ADVENTUREMAN! with Terry and Rachel Dodson and NOVEMBER with Elsa Charretier from Image Comics.

    Under their company Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, Inc., Fraction and DeConnick are currently developing television for NBC/Universal.

I'd rank Fraction's run in the upper half of Uncanny runs, but this volume drags it down. There's a heavy focus on a new group of Sublime Corporation wannabe mutants. Sublime was one of the more confusing concepts from Morrison's issues, and this only muddies the waters, not really explaining exactly how this new group is connected to that villain or where they came from.

There's also a lot of real estate devoted to Hope's collecting of "The Lights," a new group of mutants who will supposedly help her fulfill her purpose. None of them really stick out as all that interesting, thought Idie Okonkwo would go on to be used well in Jason Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men. Fraction's use of character ID boxes is really grating here, with lots of jokes that fall flat. Art from Portacio and Land isn't bad, though there is some filling in from other artists that leads to it all feeling jumbled.

Not a spectacular end to the run, but still much better than the book was at the beginning of the decade.

The comic starts off as mediocre, then goes to bad and then finishes off strong (as soon as Keiron Gillen joins in to assist Matt Fraction as writer).

Fraction is quite a corny writer, and this can be very annoying at times. He can go overboard on the bad jokes and the script he chooses for certain characters, at certain times, is quite bad. However the writing makes a massive improvement when Gillen joins in the later part of the comic.

The art is my main issue. I really didn't like Whilice Portacio's art, and since he illustrated most of the issues, it annoyed me a lot. His faces all look the same (especially his females) and the body language he chooses for some of the characters is god-awful at times. I had not encountered him before my reading of this comic, but he is now one of the worst illustrators i have personally encountered while reading.

The second illustrator is the controversial Greg Land, i personally preferred him over Whilice but his artwork was also quite annoying in moments. I noticed his lazy artwork at times and his tracing (albeit, this was quite rare). The main criticism with him is his inability to translate the writer's text into an appropriate facial expression/body language. He also makes use of pornography stencils in his tracing, and you can see this at times for his faces (it makes the panels look silly).

Overall i would recommend reading this as it shows what happens before X-Men Schism and then X-Men vs Avengers. I also believe the last few issues won the comic's credibility back a bit, and i believe this was due to Gillen's assistance.
