All-New X-Men (Marvel NOW!)

review 1: This is a marginal improvement over the first volume. I like how the different teams represent competing political ideologies (Avengers = Establishment, Wolverine's Team = Reform, Cyclops' Team = Revolution) and there are some nice interactions between Kitty and Jean. BUT! The premise still feels untenable, Cyclops and Beast still act like total jerks, the plot still has very little forward momentum, and "supervillains rob banks and frame the X-Men for it" is one throwback storyline I never want to read again. C'mon. It's the 21st century. Supervillains shouldn't rob banks anymore.
review 2: Volume 2 of All New X-Men picks up right where volume 1 left off with the original X-Men team trying to adjust to living in the present (their future), and attempting to... more come to terms with what their future lives become. I’m really loving these X-men comic books! The banter between the characters is amazing. Young Bobby and older Bobby are both hilarious and I absolutely love Kitty Pride. She continues to be my favorite X-Men. I love how she has taken on a leadership role and how she takes her job of training the X-men from the past very seriously. I love how she shuts young Bobby up by kicking his ass during training. I also love how she tells Jean to stop abusing her powers by listening in on people’s thoughts without permission. I still continue to dislike Jean Grey. She has never been a character I've liked all that much and I don’t see that changing any time soon, although I will say that she hasn't annoyed me too much in this series.I also seriously love Wolverine and think his interactions with young Cyclops are so entertaining to read. The art in this series continues to be amazing and I can’t wait to read volume 3. less
