Been awhile so I will just make this starting post right here seeing as I just finished issue 5 and this series is fan freakingtastic! The history and the story that is present in this book, just goes to show that Bendis knows his X-Men but more imporantly, he knows who they are the personality, and their reasoning, he is juggling concepts that most writers would'nt touch. Time travel is always a tricky subject in fiction, and over the years I think the X-Men nail it better than anyone the interaction is flawless a what if you could talk to your younger/older self. The spotlight has been given to Hank, Scott, and most imporantly Jean I mean its been a real treat to actually see her again for how many years they keep her away she is and always will be a vital member of the X-Men what im getting at its about goddamn time (I don't count moon dust) and with the new events unfolding, I think we will see the rest get to shine and yes everyone is right, Warren could of stayed home but maybe dark times are ahead after all you will always need a Horseman of Death who better than his original pick. now if you got this far SPOILERS AHEAD loving Beast new look finally a more tradiational return to form and an ape like apperance not as furry as a jim lee beast but I think the ape look will bode well with the intelligence and how hank has always carried himself. And yeah they are staying so this just got me salivating for more. In closing on this already to long of post see what happens when you take off for holiday's. The Art in this book I have to say dare I say is one of if not the best that the team has been drawn and inked imo which everyone has one but just wow I find myself just looking at these characters and creating dialogue between what is happening in the story hell you know half of the team is in either a Jean Grey School danger room situation or the teachers lounge where coffee scotch and cigars are after all its Logans property you know hes got a stash for a rainy day. I know that I will be saving this arc for as long as it goes on for a rainy day.

Yep; the series is still going strong. :) I'm trying to work out what teams we're going to have. It looks like the teens will be sticking around, led/mentored by Kitty, and Scott has his Uncanny team. Ororo is going to lead the new black-ops team (assuming Uncanny X-Force keeps the same mission statement). Who's leading the main, non-outlawed team? Will that also be Storm, or Wolverine? Will All-New X-Men split its focus between the teens and the current "Legit" team, or will the vets get their own book?

So many questions, but whatever happens, I'm enjoying the ride. :)

Issue 5 was boss. Will be interesting to see how the passed and present characters continue to interact with each other. Angel might be interesting now actually. But the Cyclops and Jean relationship will be great I think. Wonder if Wolverine will get involved...

David Marquez is doing the art for the next few issues it says. Anyone know of anything he's done? I'm loving the art at the moment as it is.

Still enjoying this series. I liked Jeanie going balls out and Kitty too. Cyclops battle within is becoming quite interesting.

Yep, yep, yep good stuff. The whole Wolverine wanting to kill young Cyclops kind of shocked me. I liked how Jean is all pissed how everything turned out for her and doesn't want anything to do with anyone. Also the art has been fantastic.

oh yeah forgot that part Slym, that was crazy. I was trying to tune Logan out cause I hate his obsession with Jean. I felt sorry for Warren too, when he said no one has brought him up.I actually got a little choked up.

Re. Wolverine & Scott- I kind of mentally glossed over that scene. It struck me as Logan just talking smack. I didn't take it as meaning he actually wanted to kill young Scott. If that were the case, he would have taken a shot at it.

Also, Kitty taking charge as the mentor of the young x-men was pretty much one of the most awesome things I've read in a while. I take a lot of gratification in seeing how she's grown over the years. Here's this character who we were first introduced to as a young naive kid out of her depth, struggling to reconcile her worldview and sense of self with the world of these super-human, often frightening misfits.. She's grown into a vital member of the group, and now, a leader and teacher of the next generation. It's pretty bad-ass to me. :)

MAN; I am LOVING this book! Even with the recent artist change, the book continues to fire on all cylinders. The character interactions are beautifully on-point. This issue even managed to make pre-Apocalypse Angel intriguing. There were 2 minor glitches in panel layout that had me scratching my head for a second, but the merits far outweigh any nit-picks.

This is now my most anticipated comic series. I kind of missed having Cyclops and crew around, though. I can't wait to see what Marvel has lined up for the Uncanny re-launch. :)

Issue 006: Yeah the layout was my biggest gripe.At first I didn't like how Kitty looked, but now I like it and it compliments Jean very well. Their interaction was my favorite.Poor Angel, what a way to find out.

Haven't managed to read it yet, is the change of artists an issue for some?

Alright im back and in full X force so all new X-Men i dont know about anyone else but this run of X-Men has me foaming at the mouth with anticipation I can honestly say it mirrors what I was feeling when Uncanny X-Force first came out not only that but this is dealing with all the core things that make X-Men well X-Men you have all the characters that have become populer over the years lets put it another way the stage is set all the actors are on set and now we get to watch it play out I think Bendis is crafting truly a tale of X-Men that well not only expand its lore but it will be a story years after I am gone that will still hold up. The X titles finally seem to be going in synch with one another which has been missing for quite some time but not in a tie in way but in a way that connects characters and whats going on the best examples I can give are Angel, and Evan the only gripe I have is WATX at the moment the circus act (I know callback to Claremont) but for me it just lasted way too many issues with whats been going on they could of wrap that up in two. Hopefully the following will fall more in line with whats been transpiring. As for the stories and X-books themselves you can see a lot of inspiration just from the late 80s and early 90s taking place. 2 separate teams Scott leading one and the other a mix of Logan/Storm/and Kitty. Cable coming back in full force fashion with a title of his own mirrors when they first launched X Force with him and his team. I can't put my finger on it but they are just hitting all the right keys at the moment. All right if I lost you sorry rambling must be a secondary mutation or is it a third I can never keep track especially when Grant is around do me a favor and keep him at DC or at the very least dont have him come near any X-titles in the near future.

Alright enought praise and bash for one post onto the latest I really dug even though the artist got switched for these next few weeks the art was similier enough where it did'nt pull me out of the story that we have been reading for the last 5 issue's at the same time I was impressed with what was brought to the table kudos to the artist. Onto the story and characters themselves so lets get the big two out of the way Cyclops and Wolverine seeing as it revolved around these two. THe way that is being handled I think is the correct way. The hate between these two has been brewing for years now thats not to say they dont work well together and can be part of a team but the underlining hate will always be there. Since schism happened their relationship has esculated. You already have 2 personalities that clash like water on rocks. A 3 way love triangle that in some intances will never be resolved. A loner that found a team that he can call home, a leader who lost his way and is doing everything in his power to stay in charge. Betrayel on both sides, friends and loved ones lost on both sides. Enemies slaughtered for the greater good and dream, the teams splintering and tearing at the seams, humans more afraid than ever, and the loss of Xavier. Now speed up to where we are now no matter how much we change and grow a person will still show traits of what made that person in the first place so. Now the last time Logan and Scott had talked he was still behind bars. Since then with Beast hair brain scheme he brings O-5 to the present and I dont care about how old they are (its the 60's x-men in my mind) Now with Young Scott showing up on the scene. Even though Young Scott has never laid eyes on any of his current surrounding you would get the feeling that these two would not get along (Say you start a new job or join a team always going to be someone that instantly you know your not going to get along with that person) and thats what we have here only diffrence is Logan knows who Scott is and what he has done. The thing is Wolverine will make those hard choices that no one else will and if he sees an oppertunity he will strike. So I did'nt find the scene out of the ordinary when he gestures to pop his claws into cykes neck (I would have had all the on lookers separate them in a toned down non leathel fight) So already you have young Scott getting judged as soon as this world is opened up to him you have jean who because of the time jump ignited her telepath powers to the point where she sees her life and what has gone on causing her a distance from young Scott and then choosing to stay so already Scott has lost his leadership role for things he will do but have already come to past. Leaving him a loner in the sense in a time where I dont think he fully comprehends just what he has done or what is in store. So with all this going on he splits on wolverines cycle no less and why not (in X TAS logan gets pissed and turns cyclops car into a convertable, hot wires and borrows Scotts car in X-2) I think them fucking with each others vehicles is just one of those classic riverly tales I enjoy it. Then Young Scott inquires about random everyday occurance's that we take for granted for intances bottled water who he himself I dont think he quite grasps that he has become at least in the worlds view enemy #1 and now here comes Logan to throw that in your face and knowing at this point what he knows attacks Wolverine from his pov all he really wants to do is make this right and go back to his own time. What will happen between these two is a tale thats old as time itself but what story that is remains to be seen we know Beast brought young Scott to try to reason with Cyclops of now. But what if a mutant civil war is on the horizen maybe Young Scott will be influnced by the man he has yet to become. With Wolverine he lost not only a mentor and a friend but a person who taught him that he isn't just a wild animal that needs to be put down but a Man that has been through more than one lifetime of harsh cruel reality. Even though we only see glimpses of it Wolverine at some point will avenge or at least have closeure for losing that which helped him be the person he is today. And with Jean back a soap opera could'nt match this level of drama.

Ah yes Jean Grey if you've seen some of my other posts then you know if Wolverine and Cyclops are my meat and potatoes then Jean is my dessart and let me say after some years its too sweet seeing her in an active role again. So kitty has taken upon herself to show the O-5 the ropes as it were filling that void for the time being that Xavier once held and even though her powers can't help in this situation her surviving many experiences leaves her with an understanding and an undertaking that will not go unnotice shaping and influencing who Jean herself might become. With so many variables attached to a story like this I hope the path is seen in the distance and we dont as readers get pulled onto too many side roads.

Oh my stars and garters Beast is back in full form (lets hope other artist get it hinty hint hint) im curious more than ever for our big blue friend and if consequences are in store for someone who was only trying to make things better it seems a running theme since a little before AVX that even in the end if your choices were noble ones does it make it right and will the actions justify the means.

sheesh glad I got that off my chest alright finally just want hit on a couple of things for fun

1. Did anyone spend some time matching Jeans telepathy with the correct (or at least you think correct) characters

2.Is the future bright or is darkness looming

3.With the new all female led X team will this make room for another X book in the future im thinking a charlies angel rip off with Logan, Kitty, Jubllee and Ide (lulz)

If your still reading this you might be an X-Fan

The only thing I have left to say is it Wednesday yet?
