    Damn you time travel for opening Pandora's box once again! Personally I'm thinking next issue we're just going to find out it was Lady Mastermind using her powers. Will I be wrong? I can't wait to find out. Read Full Review

    Imagination Centre - John McCubbin Sep 10, 2013

    Although this wasn't the best issue in this series it wasn't far behind, and was one of the better issues to have been told during this story. It had excitement, and suspense, whilst also having drama, and action, which were all brilliant. It was however the emotions, and passion of a certain character that made this issue brilliant for me, and overall the issue was amazing, and I hope it continues to be like this in the next issues. Due to this I'd easily recommend this issue, and the series so far, as although it's had it's moments, it's overall been outstanding, and very fun. Read Full Review

    If there was anything negative to say about this book, it would be this: there feels like a bit of inconsistency in the release schedule, making it a bit tough to keep a consistent handle on when this book is coming out. What was once a bi-monthly book comes out once or twice a month depending on each month, and it's a bit tough to keep an eye out for. Always worth it every month, however. Read Full Review

    PopMatters - Jack Fisher Jul 7, 2013

    The lack of action and suspense may dissuade some, but that is not the kind of story All New X-men has set up. This series offers a unique perspective on the entire concept of mutants. Through the eyes of the Original Five, the idealism embodied in Charles Xavier's dream clashes head on with harsh real-world circumstances. And that clash is what makes All New X-men #13 and the entire concept of the series one of the most compelling comics in recent memory. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Jun 29, 2013

    Bendis has a wonderful hold on all of the characters involved in this series, from Wolverine to Lady Mastermind. They are all delightful. All-New X-Men remains a very good comic, and I am glad for that. Read Full Review

    All-New X-Menhas always been a comic that has used it's gimmick to good effect, and this installment is no different. This is just such a fun book, there is so much going on, and for readers that love to see great character interactions, there is nothing better than Bendis-written dialogue. The old X-Men being in the present has yet to lose it's captivating hold on the reader. There is a reason this series is one of Marvel's best. Ring up another winner forAll-New X-Men.

    Marvel Disassembled - Mike Jun 27, 2013

    Immonen and the rest of the art team pull off the battle scene spectacularly well. It looks amazing. It's big moments like the last few pages that made the X-Men popular, and Bendis & Immonen manage to channel that in this series issue after issue. Read Full Review

    IGN - Benjamin Bailey Jun 26, 2013

    Stuart Immonen does his best work of the series here. The very first page is breathtaking, a true "holy crap!" moment that'll make you power through the rest of the book to find out exactly what is going on. Some of the female face work is a bit off at times, but the action looks so very, very sweet that you'll hardly notice that you can't quite tell what emotion you are supposed to be reading on Madame Hydra's face. The best bits come in Immonen's layouts. Those Bendis double-page spreads have rarely looked so good. This is the best issue yet in an already stellar series. Read Full Review

    Analog Addiction - Jideobi Odunze Jun 27, 2013

    It really feels like another X-Men book that stands on its own. Sure it connects to the rest, but they face their own obstacles and as usual with any X-Men team, nothing is ever certain to go their way as we see a now rampaging Jean Grey under the influence of the Phoenix. I do have to say that it is a questionable move by Bendis. You have to ask yourself how he will explain this because the Phoenix is dead, unless he will leave that answer up to the mysteries of time, which would be a bit disappointing. Aside from this the coloring and inking is solid and remains consistent. Read Full Review

    If you want an X book with a lot of action, this probably isn't the right one for you, try Uncanny, but if you want some of the best character interaction out there you should already be reading All-New X-Men! Read Full Review

    "All New X-Men" #13 opened with a big bang, leading the reader to believe this was going to be one heck of an issue. Sadly, despite some interesting development regarding Mystique's sinister plan, the issue quickly fizzled into an abrupt cut-off without much grace Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Greg McElhatton Jun 28, 2013

    "All-New X-Men" #13 is a book published on a pretty frequent basis, and considering how slow it moves, that's a good thing, because I shudder to think of this was a once-a-month book. Still, a slightly faster pace would be greatly appreciated. This is entertaining enough, but it could be a lot more fun with a bit of pep added into the mix. Read Full Review
