Uncanny X-Men #4 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Honestly, I don't have too much to say about this issue, since most of the plot was covered by "All-New X-Men" #10.  The revelation that Angel was the other student to defect (besides the Cuckoos) was pretty easy to spot, so this issue didn't really do much to advance the story that Bendis is telling in these two titles.  (Moreover, Emma's conversation with the Cuckoos wasn't fascinating enough to make it feel like it added a new twist on the story, particularly since the Cucooks' defection was also pretty predictable.)  The best part of this issue is Bendis' work developing the personalities of the New Xavier School's students, since he makes it clear that Scott may see defections of his own soon.  Overall, as I mentioned in my review of "All-New X-Men" #10, it's clear that Bendis is bringing the first phase of this brave new world to a close.  With the teams now more or less set, I'm intrigued to see where we go from here.
