robbishreads's review against another edition
3.0
A little bit weaker than the previous volumes, but not by much. I think it's because of some ramping down rather than twisting the tension up, but it was nice to see some mutants throw down.
Is it weird that I feel like sense the art style changed for the last included issue it doesn't count? It was an important enough story but because it felt like bonus material it just wasn't cohesive with the rest.

The continuing adventures of the time displaced X-Men gets a little stale as they drop the Uncanny Avengers into the story to give young Cyclops a chance to meet his brother Havoc. There's also a storyline about Mystique, Sabertooth, and Lady Mastermind (and the Silver Samurai) that is tough to balance with the way those exact same characters are used in Wolverine & The X-Men.
This is a perfectly servicable X-book, but it's kind of a let-down after how wonderful the first two volumes were. It feels like this entire volume is mostly spinning its wheels before Battla Of The Atom.
I recommend ti for Summers family fan-ficers, Uncanny Avengers readers, and people who enjoy low-stakes mutant-centric adventures.

After seeing how he turns out, one of the time displaced Xmen decides to join up with the modern Cyclops. Minor cross-over with Uncanny Avengers as Havok gets to meet and talk with his brother Cyclops as he wants to remember him. Love the Mystique angle being thrown into this. I'm just now beginning to wonder where this is going and how Bendis plans on concluding it.

One of the things I love most about this series is how they're taking chances with this original cast of the X-Men. The circumstances have changed for real and obviously they won't be making the same choices they did when everything was much simpler around them.

Bendis' "Out of Their Depth" has our time-dispersed X-Men taking on the likes of Mystique, Lady Mastermind, Sabretooth, Silver Samurai and Madame Hydra -- showing that they may not be so out of their depth as the title suggests. (Granted, the X-Men were totally terrible at taking down any villain without Professor Xavier's help in their first handful of 1960's issues, so it seems like somewhere in the midst of time traveling they picked up some new skills.)
Character development here is especially kind to Jean, who still has a lot to learn about her newly developed telepathy, and in filler issue #15, a surprise Hank development that will certainly take us down a long and annoying road of "when are Jean and Scott finally going to hook up again???"

Reread of Baby!Jean Arc
Still deeply agreeing with earlier reviews.

Jean. Jean. Jean. What are you doing. No, seriously. I love you. I love all of it. But what are you doing. How many different ways has your head been spun around now. I'm so down and in the thick of it for everything that has to do with you, and Rachel, and Hank, and everyone who is everyone you like, love, hate, everything. But what are you doing.
Though at the same time I can't fault you. The whole world is assaulting you with the awesome of someone you aren't, from so many people you have no the vaguest clue really who are at all, except that they are suddenly in charge of you, because of your own choices.
Still in love. Still rooted in all of this. Definitely curious where it is going, and hoping the art from the Scott & Bobby skip class issue does not end up staying long.

Great to see Jean Grey develop as a mutant, as usual Bobby could do with more screen time, he's funny

Another great installment on this series. Stuart Immonen’s style is perfect for this story - it was a bit jarring when the last issue was by another artist, but actually it was also really suitable and fun! I particularly liked the page where Jean and Rachel meet. In general the dynamic between the “new” and “old” x-men only gets more interesting with each issue. Occasionally the plot events feel like excuses to bring particular sets of characters together (Havok showing up for example) but mostly it doesn’t feel too forced. I also wasn’t a fan of the fake Phoenix appearance as it felt like a bit of a cheat and an easy option to take with that character. But overall I’m really enjoying this story.
