After #349, I didn't try Uncanny X-Men until issue #353. I know, I couldn't stay away very long. But before I tear into 353 let's look at the issues between that I skipped:
#350 - Covered in "Issues That Made Me Drop X-Men #1"
#351 - Focus on Cecelia Reyes. 'nuff said
#352 - The cover of this issue boasted the following: "The most artists ever on a comic!" Can you believe this was the selling point of this issue? I couldn't and I didn't.
So, #353 focuses on Rogue's "personal crisis". I'm not trying to hate on Rogue, but after almost 10 years of reading about her problems with her powers, you get a little tired of it. The team this issue wasn't a bad line-up.
Storm, Wolverine (These two are always a great start, IMHO)
Rogue, Iceman, Iceman,
Rogue, Iceman, Iceman,
Jubilee, Cannonball (I really liked the idea of these two "graduating" to the X-Men)
Maggot, Joseph
We also still have Psylocke and Angel doing the sub-plot thing. Bishop is also kidnapped by Deathbird.
Overall, this issue wasn't that bad. A lot better than #349. But Sauron was going to be the villain next issue.
Rogue drama
+ Maggot, Joseph
+ Maggot, Joseph
+Sauron next issue
