review 1: Collects All-New X-Men issues #25-30This continues to be one of the best Marvel NOW books out there. The relational stuff is awesome, because even after 30 issues, it is still so much fun to see how the younger versions of the X-Men interact with their older counterparts. There...

review 1: I’m still enjoying this title in which the original X-Men are doing the time warp again, but I’m starting to wonder how it can possibly continue in a satisfying fashion. The idea that the younger versions are having to face the consequences of choices they haven’t made yet conti...

review 1: The teenaged original X-Men travel through time to confront their screwed up, disillusioned middle-aged selves. It's a clever concept, but not one that I think can sustain an entire multi-arc series. As executed here, it mostly just shows how much the different writers have lost...
