The weakest vol so far of what was a great series. I will have to see if All New X-men ended with issue 30. Thats where this story ends. A lot going on with time travel. But again the ending is somewhere else. Grrrr. No idea what just happened.
this is time traveling confusion with understandably no plot unless if i was just dozing off the whole time. it would be one star if it weren’t for the final issue. i mean that issue alone is 5 stars. it has warren and laura liking each other, jean and emma becoming friends and kitty and peter beginning a holographic relationship!
This had moments of shining brilliance (read: fun stuff), but for the most part it was just another trip down Time-Travel Lane.I can't fully express how much I truly hate it when they do that never ending loop of go-back-in-time-warn-yourself-not-to-do-the-same-shit-and-then go-back-again-and-stop-this-or-that-and-then-go-back-again-because-you-found-a-note-your-future-self-wrote-to-your-past-self-and-had-it-delivered-by-a-pizza-guy-and-this-cycle-never-ends-because-some-else-also-wrote-them...
4.75 starsThis was the best in the series so far (in my opinion, and that I can remember)! It didn't have a seriously major event in the plot like some of the others, but it was really funny. And there is quite the cliffhanger at the end. Can't wait to read the next one!
If much of the story weren't basically a rehash of X-Men: Battle of the Atom, I would have liked this a lot better. Because seriously, that just happened. I didn't need to read another story that was so incredibly similar. Yes, there were some scenes mixed in there that clarified the evil future X-Men more than in Battle of the Atom, but come on, Bendis. That just happened. And I'm ready to move on.But hey, it isn't all bad. There's Laura and Warren having a thing, and I can't even tell you how
Previously in All-New X-Men...Composed of issues #25-30, the sixth volume of this series is officially my LEAST FAVORED collection because of the unbelievably irritating bullshit that occupied its wasteful space. I was just coming around from that equally unsatisfying crossover story with Guardians of the Galaxy entitled The Trial of Jean Grey, which is also an obvious rip-off from Claremont's stellar Magneto issue in the eighties that has the same concept, but Bendis simply just failed to deliv...
Started out pretty fun with a bunch of different art types. Just fun. Finally fell back into the meh of the rest of this series.
This volume regained some of the allure from the previous volumes that I enjoyed. It was fun seeing some further stories about the future evil Brotherhood as well.
Good, but I definitely want to see some different villains. We just saw these guys. I like how the description of the book says "Last seen in battle of the atom" like that was so long ago. It might as well say "last seen last volume".I continue to enjoy this series, but this volume only gets 3 stars because it just felt lazy to me.
The future Brotherhood is back to cause some trouble and Beast is having sleepless nights over what he's done and can't undo.One Down is the epitome of what I expected All-New X-Men to be, time travel slop. Surprisingly All-New X-Men has been better than that so far, but the time traveling Brotherhood built by Xavier's son (who looks like a freaking clone and has the exact same powers) using the envelope system to be more efficient is pure annoying as hell time travel slop.Some additional inform...
OK, so to recap: young Cyclops has gone off with the Starjammers, young Jean Grey has manifested an entirely new power (the power of MAGENTA!), and we're about to embark on the discovery of who Jean falls in love with next (because what would be a progressive storyline without a nice regressive moistening of the featured girl, even though every other character in the book is just as likely to want some cuddlin'. Just my prediction.)Ohferfucksake, here Bendis goes with another indulgent, pointles...
That was a clusterfuck.This starts with a Watcher showing Beast possible futures for what seems like thirty pages, both the good and the bad. You know those television episodes where they A. Just show flashbacks the whole time to a theme and B. Have those fuzzy edged theoretical flash forwards? A huge chunk in the beginning is like this and in random art styles and it's inconsequential. I was reading this thinking, what the hell is the point here? By the time the actual story came in it was so c...
Oh, that was bad, like bad bad. Bendis did another one of his trademark "Oh you know what is going on now? Well bleep that! Change! Ta DA!" There is a whole issue here that is just Evil Future Professor X is tormenting the Beast in the future. It is done in weird incomplete short (often just a page) stories of the X-Men getting killed off or sometimes not. I had stopped with the single issues before then because I would have been pissed to pay extra for an oversized 25th issue just to get bad.Th...
questions are answered! kitty gets pissed! laura and warren are cute! (yikes that won't end well, tho...)and also, jean and emma are friends and sara pichelli has such good art.
In case you were wondering about the expansive credit list, included in this collection was an anniversary issue that had a ton of guest artists, some are familiar names to franchise and others are less so.This was a lot of fun to read. The art is always a strong point but the story is a sequel to the the crossover event Battle of the Atom, or at least, the part that introduced a future Brotherhood of Evil Mutants led by Mystique's two sons. This story expands on the origins of the aforementione...
X-men, X-Men, X-Men. I was on a roll awhile back reading the whole Bendis run of X-men. To my surprise I enjoyed quite a bit. Especially volume 2-3. Sure 4 was a miss, but then months and months later I decided to jump back on to finish it. Volume 5! Here we go. So you thought it was confusing bringing the old x-men back with the kids version huh? Let's add in future x-men coming to current time to kill the current time (though wouldn't that have a chance of killing their future self?) SO yeah,
Because red is the colour of psychic battles apparently...Following up from the Trial of Jean Grey (GotG crossover) we find the kids back on Earth, with Scott long gone to join Dad Corsair in the Starjammers.X-23 isn't too happy, on account of she was into Scotty the Body...luckily, another one of the boys will pay attention to her instead of Jean.Oh, and do you remember the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from the future? The one headed by Charles Xavier Junior? Ya, well he's back. Again. And..
I wish a future version of myself would come back in time to warn me not to read time travel comics stories anymore. They are always so convoluted, and the solution at the end of most of them is "let's just prevent the story we just watched from ever having happened." They're almost always inherently free of conflict, pushing towards a zero sum of action and plot progression. That's how Bendis's All-New X-Men is starting to feel.With this volume, we're back to the stupid X-Men from the future, w...
The continuing adventures of our fresh-faced original X-Men from the past trying to deal with a present in which they have to coexist with their future selves, their future friends, and their future enemies.There are still a lot of romantic triangles and other complicated arrangements going on here, like Kitty Pryde with her new galaxy-traveling boyfriend, with whom she is in the ultimate long-distance relationship. And the White Queen, who has issues with teenage Jean Grey.Jean, the little minx...
Not bad. Lots more time travel stuff, and it seems it was just yesterday that the X-men from the future were fighting the X-Men from the past and the X-Men of the present in the, well, present. The book starts off with the Watcher being a bit of a jerk to Beast, in an issue that had a lot of guest artists who drew alternate realities where the X-Men were either bad guys, good guys, etc. The the future mutants arrive and then Angel and X-23 have a moment, as do younger Jean Grey and Emma Frost. T...
