The Uncanny X-Men is coming to a close. On October 19th, Uncanny X-Men #544 marks the last issue of the long-running series. It’s not really the end of an era, considering the “post-Schism” Uncanny X-Men #1 comes out the following month. It makes for an anti-climactic ending doesn’t it?

EULOGY After the hammer-blow of FEAR ITSELF and the violence of SCHISM, it can’t go on. it’s the end of Uncanny X-Men, and who better to provide a stirring eulogy than…. MISTER SINISTER? Join us for the end of the industry-shaping series with the return of the 19th century’s morally dubious scientist.

Uncanny X-Men #544 by Kieron Gillen and Greg Land is available on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 at comic shops everywhere.

Here is a preview of the Uncanny X-Men #544.
