On a serious note, knowing that the next issue of All-New X-Men is the last definitely makes me realize just how much I'll miss this series. Hopeless and Bagley have taken some big risks throughout this series, but the characters " and especially readers " have benefited every step of the way. Truly, All-New X-Men has been a series worthy of its title. Read Full Review
In Magneto's Memory-Scape we see him as Xorn which I assume we are led to believe is either first-hand memory or his recalled observation of the event. Given Xorn's recent resurgence I expect that this will be cleared up soon. Read Full Review
Great art and a strong story here - if they could just finish up the ongoing Inhumans vs. X-Men foolishness, they could get on with the business at hand: restoring the X-franchise. Read Full Review
It's a much-needed boost of narrative direction for young Scott and should result in some real growth for the character in future issues of the series. The character has a chance to become what present day Scott always wanted to be, without all the guilt and resentment that he had to carry by his life's end. Read Full Review
It's not just another tie-in where a teenage character mopes and whines at feeling so overwhelmed. This story digs deeper, achieving an impact that goes beyond an ongoing crossover. For a tie-in that focuses on an anxious teenager, that's quite an accomplishment. Read Full Review
Getting hag-ridden by Mosaic lets Teen Cyclops see what really happened to his old self. Emma Frost is in trouble now! It's a pretty solid character study of poor Teenclops and his social predicaments. I really, *really* hope that the plot points shown here - i.e. Mosaic causing havoc with the X-Men - are picked up in the main event. Most of Mr. Bagley's art is excellent, though he doesn't draw a convincingly mature Medusa.
Does ANYONE at Marvel give a shit about continuity anymore? Teen Cyclops WAS THERE when the first cloud was destroyed. He saw FIRST HAND that not a single Inhuman was killed, and that there WAS NOT GENOCIDE.
EVERYTHING about Cyclops has been a godawful mess since the post-SW status quo began.
The biggest piece of shit that came out of Marvel this week.
PS. Cyclops was Right.
