All New X-Men #2

All New X-Men (2012) 2A


Another great issue. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this series initially, but that has already begun to change. Brian Bendis gives us a very solid second issue, with the O5 making their way to the present through Beasts time machine.

The shock of the O5 coming to the present is felt through all the characters throughout the issue. Wolverines reaction was expected, Iceman's was funny, Jeans was a little heartbreaking, though I expect more to come. Even with the knowledge of what becomes of some of the O5, they seem to be in good spirits.

O5 Beast realizes that his older self is dying from a further mutation, and has arranged the time travel event as a final act. A few issues were raised in this story that require further explanation, but I'm holding out hope that they will be touched upon later. The Revolutionary team wasn't featured in this issue The issue ends with the O5 running away from the JGS to seek out new mutants before Scott's older self.

Stuart Immonen continued to impress me with this issue. I'm not a huge fan of his current Iceman, with the ice spikes all over, but the rest of the characters looked wonderful.
