When we last left the Young X-Men, they were confronted by Beast (of our time), and brought to the future in order to maybe change recent events. The big questions are what will happen when the Young X-Men meet their future shelves, and what will Cyclops do when he sees Jean Grey.
I knew that Brian Michael Bendis would handle the characters and their interactions well and so far he has done a tremendous job.
The Positive
I knew that Brian Michael Bendis would handle the characters and their interactions well and so far he has done a tremendous job. The young X-Men each have distinct character types and play them so well; it’s familiar and different all at the same time. The fish out of water story plays very well here too; as the young team looks on in wonder at their new surrounding and their commentary during the process is very meta and funny. The old X-Men aren’t without their comedic quips here either, as we get some classic lines from Ice Man and a few from Kitty Pryde too. The story feels very light hearted (the calm before the Phoenix) and Bendis handles the X-Men so well that I wish he’d started writing X-Men comics sooner than he did.

The Negative
I could not pull anything negative out of this issue, amazing work from the writing to the art.
The Verdict
This is a time traveling story worth telling; If you are a fan of Brian Michael Bendis or the X-Men, go out and buy this. This is the only X-Men book you truly need!
5 out of 5!
