Because Jean Grey couldn't stay dead that long, right? I really don't like her or Cyclops as much as, well, anyone at the Jean Grey School, so I was kinda bummed that they were bringing everyone back. But Wolverine and the X-Men kept referencing this series, the kids living there, and so on, so ...
3 Stars, borrow it Self Purchase, Comixology SPOILERS At first I liked this, but by the end of the 3rd/4th issues, I got bored. I usually like Bendis writing but this just wasn’t interesting me. I read enough to give this a rating but I am abandoning this at 75% because life is too short for s...
In the present day, a civil mutant war is about to start. There are already few mutants left in the world and this war will definitively not help. Beast finds out he's dying and he realizes he must do something, anything, to fix this mess before he passes away. So he decides to go back in time, expl...

This may have something to do with the fact that I'm not terribly interested in any of the original X-Men, not in their teenage states. Cyclops ...
I read this out of order, having read Vol. 2 first, but catching up wasn't too hard. The side plots do introduce the three new mutants I didn't care about in Volume 2. This is where Marvel's new split between the All-New X-Men (X-Men, original label) and the Uncanny X-Men (modern team) begins. It's ...

Somehow, they have maintained that the X-Men's worst enemy is themselves and the human race. It's all a story that's been done before, whi...
Part of me wishes that it was longer because it was good.
This series has a lot to do and a lot to not fuck up. The beginning's a little shaky because the point (beyond a very basic "what would your teenage self think of you now" thing) feels a little muddled and Hank's motivation is just weird. That said, for the most part I enjoyed reading it, although p...
