This was a really good classic X-Men crossover. All the time travel! All the hidden identities! All the fun! ( )

2021 Summer (July);
Reread of Baby!Jean Arc

Most of these were read in a blur of summer bliss in a hammock in a backyard garden as I finally followed up on my original reads of the baby!Jean storyline that I'd gotten half into before falling out of again. I really do continue to love this storyline mostly for her.

I don't remember reading this one the first time around reading these arcs, so I came at this one entirely fresh. I had so many intense feelings about what was being done with the kids, who got to make choices and who didn't. Which and whose problems are greater, is there a right to your own choices if it effects the entire future/present.

The ending twist with Kitty was a really great thing to see, too.

Read the issues as they came out. This story started out really interesting but did seem to just spin out at the end with story and artwork. ( )

Bits of this this I liked, bits I didn't. Not to mention I spent a lot of time as confused as the characters.
Too Jean Grey focused. I really don't like either version of Jean Grey in this story.
Glad I read it but not a favourite. And what the hell did they do to Deadpool? ( )

Just okay, which is a shame considering how enjoyable All New X-Men/Uncanny X-Men have been to this point. The arrival of additional future X-Men with a thinly explained motivation kind of makes this too confusing for its own good, and Bendis seems to have lost a lot of the character voices in the shuffle. Unless there's some huge, pivotal thing in the next ANXM collection centered around this, I'd call this pretty skippable. ( )
