During the Battle of the Atom crossover, one of the questions that lacked a critical answer was: What made the future Brotherhood of Evil Mutants so angry? Last issue, we got some real answers as Xavier's origin story was revealed along with the beginnings of his partnership with his half-brother Raze. Without a father to teach him... Continue Reading →

The future has returned with an attack on the New Xavier School by the Brotherhood of Evil X-Men. With Raze preoccupying the All-New X-Men in the cafeteria, Xorn takes out the Stepford Cuckoos by hijacking Mindee's mind.

All-New X-Men #23 Review
A few days ago, I imagined what I'd ask Brian Michael Bendis if I could get one question in for an interview. "What is it about you that Marvel would put their X-Men franchise in your hands?" Bendis is talented, obviously, and he's shaping up to be the Chris Claremont of this generation. But that... Continue Reading →

Intimate Revelation — All-New X-Men #7 Review
This issue focuses heavily on young Scott Summers and his current confusion. While I have enjoyed the last few issues of All-New X-Men. I'm curious as to when it will occur to writer, Brian Michael Bendis, that there are typically problems interacting with ones younger self as Hank, Bobby, Scott and Warren have just done....

All-New X-Men #6 Review
The All-New X-Men is a great title so far. With everything going on and the transition for the original X-Men into our time, there have been some interesting things in this book.
