The Bagley art and focus on younger characters meant this reminded me a bit of early Ultimate Spider-man. I'm also someone who doesn't hate the idea of the time jump X-men, so I quite liked this.
Am I the only one really annoyed by the time-traveling teen X-men? The original team wasn't annoying...wtf???
This was okayish. Which is a shame because I like Dennis Hopeless writing a lot usually. So this starts off interesting enough. The death of cyclops. At the time this was release nobody knew what happened to one of the most famous mutants ever. Just that he was dead. Now the "Ghost of Cyclops" a group of kids trying to be radical mutant group decide to hurt regular people. At the same time Cyclops, young cyclops, is trying to stay out of the spotlight and be his own person. Of course that isn't
(2.5 stars)Spoilers below wait cyclops died? did i.... i must have missed a series...CRAP... death of x. ok anyways new x-men are still stuck in the future and still figuring out where they fit in. Young Cyclops is in hiding and tracking down a team of kids who are using his name to create havoc. Obviously this doesn't sit well with him and he gets involved, it's some decent writing that i can appreciate. X-23 and Angel are feuding about how she is too risky and charges into battle. The blob com...
A bit teenybopper melodrama... but still fun and cool. Really great art from Mark Bagley as well. I don’t like this as much as Bendis’ run... but I still like it. I love Laura as Wolverine. There are some major departures from continuity, so if that kind of thing bugs you, expect some head scratching. Otherwise, this is some mostly softcore, kid friendly X-Men that might make you smile.
In the eight months since Battleworld, Cyclops has died - somehow, somewhen, by possibly someone (the suddenly-lethal-to-mutants Terrigen Mist might’ve got ‘im!). In his wake are a gang of mutant idiots wearing Cyclops masks calling themselves the Ghosts of Cyclops, causing havoc wherever they appear. It’s up to the teenage time-displaced All-New X-Men - including the young Cyclops - to stop them. Not enough Cyclops mentions in this paragraph? CYCLOPS!Wow, it’s tough to be an X-Men fan these day...
This surprised me...because I actually liked it. Mark Bagley's art was as winning as it always is. Dennis Hopeless has taken the original X-Men along with Oya and Kid Apocalypse and sent them in a new direction, road tripping around the world. Hopeless has a good handle on the characters and their voices. The Ghost of Cyclops are a bunch of college kids using Cyclop's memory as an excuse to rebel. the latter half of the book features a battle with Blob.
All-New X-Men has a new team! (Well, for the next 4 volumes at least until they reboot this again *sigh*.)Wolverine/Laura, OG 5/post Black Vortex Angel, Hank/OG Beast, baby OG Cyclops, baby OG/newly gay Iceman, and Evan/Kid Apocalypse & Idie Okonkwo from Wolverine and the X-Men, yay!I still don't understand how Angel got to keep his fire wings from the Black Vortex, but isn't crazy in the brain like he was in The Black Vortex. Anyone have an answer for me?I really enjoyed each character's strug...
In this post-Secret Wars X-Men relaunch, the teenage versions of the original X-Men from an alternate universe (and they say comics aren't accessible to new readers) have found themselves a combo Mystery Machine/TARDIS and hit the road.I love these guys and am happy to have Wolverine join the gang (I love me some Laura). I'm less keen on the addition of Evan and Idie; there just doesn't seem to be much reason for them to be there (at least Laura has a reason to join the team, in that she's 'goin...
This latest volume is really awesome. The dynamic of Laura and Warren's relationship, Bobby struggling with his sexuality and this new girl Idie questioning her faith all make for a rich story with some real character depth. The pop culture references about Twitter, Snopes and Ronda Rousey are all very well received also.BUT, the absolute BEST part of the whole thing is my new favorite BAMF...Pickles:
Barf. What an awful series. Crapatastic writing that simply skimming was painful. Who the f breaks up with someone in the middle of a fight? So much whining for super heroes. I get that they're teens but it's pathetic. Next we have toilet paper art. It's so easy to see these guys were on a mission to ruin the franchise. No wonder the series is canceled. Let's stab The Blob's eye out! It's like Hopeless is being paid to write garbage. No more inner monologues!!!!!!!! Your action scenes suck enoug...
3.5 starsIt's been a few months since I read the volume before this, the conclusion to the All-New X-Men story by Bendis. So that explains why I don't remember how it ended and the background on this. I was missing some of the pieces, but it was still good overall. The artwork was good and the new characters have potential. This comic is definitely valuable for young comic fans that want X-Men they can relate to. I do really like the All-New X-Men so that's part of the reason I will read the nex...
In post Cyclops event world (of which we know little at this point) people hate mutants more than ever. So the displaced Beast, Angel and Iceman go on a roadtrip to see the world with Wolverine II (X-23), Kid Apocalypse and Idie. Meanwhile displaced Cyclops is stalking a terrorist group. In the second half of the book Blob runs amok in Paris! Nowhere near Bendis' incarnation but Hopeless doesn't do too mad especially with coming out gay and dating a suicidal killer teenage angst. 6 out of 12.
Hey does anybody know what happened to Cyclops? Because apparently he's dead. I know, right? When did that shit happen...and why? Is Marvel just cleaning house when it comes to old X-men?So. Yeah. Guess I'll have to try and dig that story up next. That's actually a soft maybe. Because, seriously, I'm not sure I can bring myself to care.But the basic story is that Baby Cyclops is having a bit of an identity crisis now that his older self is dead. And also because Old 'Clops evidently went out lik...
The All-New X-Men have formed up a new team. Jean Grey has left to live a normal life. Evan aka Kid Apocalypse and Oya have joined Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel, and the former X-23 current Wolverine Laura Kinney. Cyclops has set off on his own quest going after The Ghosts of Cyclops a group that revere the recently deceased present day Cyclops. Meanwhile this group of young adults has their share of challenges.I'm not a fan of Cyclops in general. He always seemed a pompous brown-noser and one o...
this was hellacious to read, cringe-worthy dialog, no back story and wtf is laura and warren’s relationship?
This is probably my favorite ongoing series in the Marvel Universe, and yet I feel like Marvel is doing their best to put X-Men on the back burner. I wasn't expecting a lot out of this, I mean, this had so many things working against it: new author, terrible last collection by Bendis, Secret Wars doing a couple unforgivable things to the mutants of the Marvel U... instead I am pleased to report that this "reboot" is anything but the current author's surname.
It's a bit more bearable than Extraordinary X-Men, but not by a lot. Where Extraordinary focuses on the implausibly long list of bad things currently happening to mutants, All-New focuses instead on smaller, more personal issues. So while Storm is fretting about the mass sterilization of mutants, Hank is realizing that he isn't quite so impressive when his knowledge base is more than a decade out of date. But because every single character is experiencing some sort of personal crisis (Scott is d...
Well, that certainly wasn't anything special... Coming off Jonathan Hickman's Secret Wars, the young time-displaced X-Men are scattered across America, laying low and basically on permanent vacation until they realize Scott Summers is in danger. Hopeless won't say what's happened, but in some undefined period of time between Secret Wars and this here relaunch (yes, yet another one...hey, it's Marvel) of All-New X-Men, the old present-day Scott Summers died in one last awful act of terrorism. Wha...
I love the new x-men. They are funny and awesome!
