Yesterday's X-Men

3.5 stars this takes me back to my ~young days, when I watched the first two xmen movies over and over again because I had this massive crush on Jean Grey.

I was confused by this. It's clear, as you're reading it, that you're supposed to accept the narrative that Cyclops has “gone rogue”, and abandoned all of his ideals and beliefs. But the way that that's shown is by him teaming up with other former headmasters that Xavier had entrusted with the leadership of his school, building a new school, and reaching out to scared mutants who can't control their powers. I doesn't really seem like he's changed all that much from where he was in years past.

On the other hand, the “good guys” advocate for the cold-blooded murder of innocent teenagers and treat the space-time continuum like a plaything. Oh, and a bunch of them also make lustful comments about the teenaged version of one of their best friends (who, even with “Marvel time” in place, needs to be a good ten to twenty years younger than them for the story to make sense).

So, overall, a confusing read spared by shiny artwork and fun Cyclops stuff.

This is a bananas concept, well executed.
