Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine #1 - Highly developed mammals in that period of prehistory? I guess I can write it off to evolution in the Marvel universe being different, but it still bothered me.
Brightest Day #1 - Man, if you're a person of color in this issue you're either an ineffectual hero, a victim, or evil. The only positive representation was the guy in the Colgate ad.
Thor and the Warriors Four #2 - The girls are really into this one and if Disney had any sense they'd start making baby Beta-Ray Bill dolls right now...I'd have to buy three of them.
War of the Supermen #1 - Welcome back status quo! (eye roll)
Uncanny X-Men #524 - Where has Charles been all this time...catching up on Supernatural DVDs?

Chris Sims' article here solidifies what I've been feeling about the DC universe of late...
About the regressive storytelling, or about the racial politics? Because the latter I don't think is confined to the DC Universe by any degree...
In re. the actual topic of this thread, I was bothered by the same thing in Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine, but am willing to play along for now.
Re. Uncanny X-Men, Professor X has only been around Utopia for a very little bit, and his contributions have been...less than welcome, from what I recall, so he's probably keeping to himself mostly.
I haven't read this comic, but it sounds like it might play on the Alex Ross idea that Wolverine is descended from Moon-boy's race, who were simian hairy humanoids at the time of the dinosaurs?
Moon-boy being the best buddy of Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur. It was a silly idea and I thought it had been thoroughly mopeed in the meantime.
Chris Sim's article there is bang on the money btw.
