Review: All-New X-Men #2
Issue one set us up for the time travel and was surprisingly good (because I thought it was going to be very trite and cheesy).
Issue two is a bit slower, mostly giving us the download of getting this guys to the future.
Bobby meeting Bobby was a classic trope but it worked because Bobby is, well, Bobby. Jean putting the whammy on Logan was also pretty darn hilarious.
I was afraid this might be a case of just ‘trying to relive the glory days’ with the old team but so far everything does feel organic and everyone has real reasons to be doing what they are doing. Scott wants to understand how he could have turned into Revolutionary!Scott. Jean wants to know why she is dead. Hank wants is facing down his own mortality as well. Bobby and Angel are along for the ride, trusting their friends.
It really makes you want to know what’s going to happen once these people intersect.
