1000 review I took this comic because the first review is All-new Wolverine, and this comics is chronologically right after it
Hated and feared more than ever, the world is a dangerous place for mutants. As the few remaining X-MEN retreat into seclusion, a handful of mutant teenagers refuse to allow their destiny to be decided for them. CYCLOPS. BEAST. ICEMAN. ANGEL. THE ALL-NEW WOLVERINE. KID APOCALYPSE. OYA. Stepping out of the shadows of their predecessors, the ALL-NEW X-MEN are striking out on their own, determined to write their own futures!
Sometimes the best strategy with a series is to get back to the basics, and while that's not the whole story here - the team doesn't live at Xavier's school anymore - it feels like a fresh start, and that's good enough for me. Read Full Review
Dennis Hopeless really gets teen characters and has handled them well in the past on both Avengers Arena and Avengers Undercover, with the more angst involved the better. However itll be interesting to see where he takes them moving forward and theres plenty of stuff going on for the reader to explore. Hopefully this book will avoid crossing over with the upcoming relaunch of Uncanny X-Men too much, and continue to stand on its own for future issues. So far, it's off to a very impressive start.

All-New X-Men #1 is a pretty solid and enjoyable start to this new X-Men title. It lacks the heavy baggage that its sister title has, but instead offers a fun and bright superhero tale with some good characters that all readers can get into. It has some minor problems, but nothing that really brings the comic down. If you are looking for an X-Men title that isn't really heavy, this may be for you. Read Full Review
ALL-NEW X-MEN (2015) #1 is a great first issue of a "fun" book that will probably be less high-staked, but more adventurous and light-hearted that its sister titles. And it definitely proofs that both the artist and the writer are perfectly suited for the title. Read Full Review
The series is still fairly interesting. Especially the finale of the issue shows promise that the team might actually come together next book. I want to see the any possible conflicts that might happen in the new team, and how newcomers Genesis and Oya are going to fit in. Read Full Review
All-New X-Men #1 doesn't race right out of the gate like the previous series did in its first issue, but this is an enjoyable debut all the same. Hopeless shows a strong handle on his cast of mutant heroes, while Bagley is right at home in this corner of the Marvel U. However, the needlessly slow pace and emphasis on team-building over plot do hold this issue back. Read Full Review
While All-New X-Men #1 may not outrightly hook readers, it provides a strong introduction to one of its' main characters and introduces a fresh threat. Hopeless' work on Avengers Arena proves that he's a master at crafting stories with broken, angst-ridden teen characters. While he seems to be right at home with Cyclops, the question remains as to whether he can make the rest of the All-New X-Men's individual plights meaningful. With the team already banded together at the end of this first issue, that question will at least be answered sooner rather than later. Read Full Review
All-New X-Men is an interesting opening issue. It's a confusing jumping on point that rests its entire weight on its recap page. It oscillates between very real and very fake teen writing. Most importantly, despite spending a good deal of time checking in with the cast, the book exclusively gives us insight into Scott Summers. It's as if it didn't, or couldn't, know what it wanted to be. Read Full Review
While the struggle for mutantkind and the ghosts of the past still hang over All-New X-Men #1, the debut issues is a surprisingly character-centric story that allows the teen heroes to be more teen than hero. The lack of a central villain and direction certainly hinder this debut from being a great one, that said, the germ of a great book is still found in Dennis Hopeless' youthful take on the leads. Coupled with some energetic artwork All-New X-Men #1 has the potential to be the fun and breezy teen mutant book that the X-Men line has so sorely needed. Read Full Review
This issue was pretty good. Hopeless has a nice handle on the characters, and they all seem pretty happy. With Bagley's art, this definitely isn't a grim and gritty comic. It's light, cheerful, and could have a nice team dynamic going for it. Plus the general idea of seeing these kids take to the open road could be fine. It's a nifty idea for this title, as is adding Evan and Idie to the team. All-New X-Men could be a good series going forward, and I might give it another shot, but I am supremely disappointed in what Marvel has done to Cyclops. And that's on me. Read Full Review
"All-New X-Men" #1 feels like its priorities are misplaced. This isn't a very riveting first issue; if this was a brand new cast of characters, it might be more understandable, but it's really just business as usual. Right now, "All-New X-Men" #1 feels like it's coasting on good will to have readers come back. There have been enough other X-Men titles cancelled in recent years, though, that it's a dangerous assumption. Here's hoping for something with a little more pep next issue. Read Full Review
All new? I guess that Marvel have to say that because they probably wouldn't sell many books if it was called the “Same Old X-Men”. Read Full Review
The best part of All-New X-Men #1 is the solicit, once you open the comic itself the promise is quickly unraveled to leave only disappointment. Read Full Review
The X titles seem to be off to a rough start and this one is not all that different. It is hard to see the team split apart with Jean now going to Extraordinary X-Men. Hopeless tries to fill that gap with the new Wolverine and Kid Apocalypse, but it at first makes for a combination that seems forced together. They now travel around road trip style I guess in a Doctor Who style bus with a full apartment inside and teleportation thanks to one of the mini Nightcrawlers. While some of the other X titles still follow that surviving in a world that fears and hates us theme that has been around since the 1960's, this title is trying to focus more on the members separating themselves from their older counter parts. This explains the inclusion of thmore
Not sold on the title yet. Was good enough to keep me for at least 1 more though. The end confrontation was pretty cool.
A cheesy introduction to the characters.
A bit silly
Same old plots recycled over and over again.
