X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

All-New X-Men #6

Review: All-New X-Men #6

This issue is a little slower, mostly it deals with Jean and Scott.

Jean is coming to grips with the fact that now she is a telepath, plus she now knows what has happened to her. That’s a pretty heavy burden to carry seeing as she died several times, her family was horribly killed cause of her bloodline, and Scott was, well, Scott. So really, this is just backlash from the last issue but without any real hook.

Scott continues to be an outcast because of things he hasn’t done yet, which will probably lead him into becoming what everyone fears he will become. He steals Logan’s bike and goes into town and we have a very typical ‘fish out of time’ scene. Though it does beg the question why does Logan have that much cash in his jacket? A fight ensues and Scott runs off to presumably confront himself again. This can’t end well.

Angel finally meets Angel. It’s a bit awkward both for the young Angel and the reader. Old Angel is a bit Looney Toons which I dont’ think young Angel has quite caught onto by the end of the small scene. Maybe we’ll get more in the next issue.

Speaking of next issue(s), Mystique is back in the game and has her sights on young Scott… why? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
