All New X-Men Review/Synopsis #2 (spoilers)

[AcesX1X]

No he doesn't as he wanted to send them back.

jean read wolverine's mind. he thinks beast is a hero for messing with the fabric of time. and she is also grossed out from reading the rest of his mind.

...do you actually read the comics???

I'm asking the same thing about you.

pg.16 (Verbatim) "Okay , you all listen up! Hank's Obviously going through a thing and Not Thinkin' straight. So we're gonna figure out how to put ya back where ya belong and forget this ever-- (Cue in T.Jeans TP knock out scene) -Logan

Yeah makes you wonder if Bendis has a plan, or is just using stuff and ignoring continuity.

With all the talk lately about alternate realities, I had been thinking about the... Doom anchors where they called? That showed up in X-Factor (And I guess before that in FF). Those and the forever cristal thing featured in Avengers Forever are the two official ways in which you can change the Marvel past without splitting the timeline. So I guess he may have a plan.

Doesn't change the fact he still wanted to send them back now does it.

Sounds good. But is there anything that we haven't expected to happen before? And still no explanation for the idiotic "mutant genocide"?

[Hariel0079]

So they are using the Doom devices. So no alternate timelines being created. So if one of the O5 gets killed the timeline will change, as it happened in X-Factor. Hmmm.

I'm not familiar on Dooms Devices and Reed Richards when it comes to time but I think it'll still cause an issue... well at least according to Bendis and where his GoTG will come in to play later in 2013

The Doom anchors (Let us call them that) are used to change a timeline's past affecting its future instead of creating a new timeline. For example, in X-Factor the people from a twisted future were using them to kill people in their past (our present), so their descendents would vanish from existence. So Beast is affecting the timeline instead of having plucked them from an alternate timeline, and any changes made may threaten the whole structure of reality.

Last time that happened in a big way was when Legion traveled back to the 616 past and killed Xavier by mistake. He had been powering up to kill our Xavier and not an alternate one, and the resultant space-time quake cracked the Mk'Kraan cristal and nearly caused the universe to be obliterated. So I guess a crack in the Mk'Kraan would be a job for the GotG.

Or its the second issue and could be explained later.

Oh right, this is the internet. Carry on

Anyone else think that mini skull thing Kitty was looking at is a bit of a tease at what Beast might become? Some kind of giant yeti or something?

I really enjoyed the first issue, but this issue doesn't really cut it. The main problem with this comic is that it spends all of its time with the characters not taking action. Instead they ruminate on what is going on, which is boring and clunky.

I wrote a lengthier review using some imagery from the book here if anyone cares to take a gander.

Does anyone else hear Fred's voice, from Scooby Doo, when they read Angel?

Insanity! I hear an affluent prep voice.

Hey gang, I'm completely worthless in this arc, and might just die!

[nosocialize100]

lol that's pretty funny. Now that you mention it...killing old Angel could destroy everything Remender has done with the character lately. OMG!
