Still a fun read, I may have a soft spot for all things teenage original X-men

The 1st 3 volumes of this Series are just great, old school comics and give the original X-men the writers and artists they always deserved.

I think this kind of fumbles around a little bit at the beginning (the Uncanny Avengers crossover feels really off, as does the introductory "who joins Cyclops's team" story), but ultimately continues to execute on the really interesting "what if the young X-Men could see their future and decide to live in it?" question. Stuart Immonen is still perfect in everything he does here. This may go down as one of my favorite Marvel runs.

I know I was told this wasn't a great book,but honestly I loved it. Love the dynamics of this time warping occurances with young and present day X-Men. That alone makes this series worth reading,as if it's a what if on the time line.

Almost has a "Let's just get to the point already" feeling, as it feels like we're not 15 issues into the series already (a Bendis trademark!), but the book is still just so damn good! Bendis has never NOT-annoyed me so much and this is certainly in my top-5 Marvel books right now (with Hawkeye, Daredevil, FF, and Uncanny Avengers). Keep it up!

The story gets lumpier, and inevitably fracturing occurs; there are redeemable moments, but this book feels like the transition between the 2nd volume and a "something else" that's coming. The artwork is jarringly uneven, changing artists at the end, but wraps up with a satisfying character-driven story, which is nice and something we didn't get much of when these X-Men were young the first time around.

Still really enjoying this series. Wasn't as keen on the illustrations in #15 but I did like how the X-Men from the past actually looked like kids seeing as they're meant to be 16.
