Holy poo poo a Bendis event where he actually managed to stick the landing, too bad he won't be writing any more young Scott for a while, the insane teenage bravado was fun.

So Jean is now scarier and more powerful than ever because [Bendis]. Ooooooookay then. Still, I can't deny I enjoyed her kicking the poo poo out of Gladiator, and Scott's father and son Space Fishing Bonding Session should be fun.

Doesn't surprise me, since Guardians has been pretty consistently good, even if his X-Men has been iffy, that the crossover was good. I'm gonna say it could have been an issue shorter, maybe. Interested to see what direction he goes with Jean, now. My guess is "Phoenix or not, the poor girl is destined for a tragic end". Those who burn brightest burn quickest and all that.

I like the twist of her developing her powers without it being tied to the Phoenix. She's been associated with it for so long that it really is a fresh take on her. Hopefully Scott isn't gone too long from the book, though. But his space adventures will be awesome at least!

There has to be a support group for people who's powers go out of control. Wonder Man probably hosts them, started out for him just to spend time with Wanda because he's creepy that way. I liked Drax and X-23 going " I like your knife boots" "they're built in" "awesome". And at least they had the sense to show that X-23 is upset that Scott is leaving. Someone remembered "hey didn't we start a romance between these two?"

From Bendis's Tumblr "EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK! this is the cover to uncanny x-men 23. by chris bacholo You guys were so nice and supportive of the trial of Jean Grey I got special permission this morning to post this cover. not only is our original sin tie in but it is also probably the most incendiary X-Men story, maybe ever. boom!" This can only go well.

Really? You would call that sticking the landing? I thought Jean going Super Saiyan/reaching the Avatar State was dumb as hell. I'm really sick of every single little plot with Jean being "Oh man she's SO POWERFUL guys what if she flips out and becomes the Phoenix? Eh? Ehhhh?" I can feel Bendis poking me in the ribs and it's just like, I loving get it already, can you tell another story with the character or just go ahead and do your inevitable Phoenix event?

I can't wait for Xavier's Last Will and Testament to be about how he once stole someone's sandwich from the fridge, and the shocking twist is that Charles was actually the nicest man in history.

Charles Xavier is actually some morbidly obese guy in Newark. He's been using his powers to steal a surrogate body this whole time. Like the movie, except without bothering with a non-convincing hairpiece on the bald surrogate.

Charles Xavier was never a telepath but just had been really good at bullshitting the whole time. I mean he managed to convince people he needed to sit in a wheelchair again even though he'd been walking around for years and even spotted roller-blading.

Lookit that Xavier, preaching integration and understanding. Tribalist strike forces are the new hotness. I'm hoping it's just hype, though. The Red Skull ate his brain, and that wasn't even the worst assault to his dignity compared to Deadly Genesis. Let the man have some peace.

I thought X-23 was going to go with him. She's always drifting looking to fit in anyway. As much as I enjoy All-New X-Men it's really hosed up in terms of space time continuum. Oh well  I guess.No wait sorry I meant:

Red Skull was, at his core, was a good person. He was just a little over his head, and the differences between him and Captain America were just cultural misunderstandings, or the confusion that patriotism breeds. At least until Red Skull came across Xavier's brain. It forced him to consume it. It forced him to hate. It forced him to kill.

Yeah I was going to make it a character but I was having a hard time thinking of one that embodies the x-men as a whole. Like wolverine is all over the place but despite that and his own ridiculous moments it's not enough to sum up the phrase. Cyclops would be a close 2nd since he's almost always there from the beginning but I don't think he could do it alone either. So I figured I'd grab one of the writers or authors and sure enough Claremont's face can pretty much sum up the phrase.

Xavier is just adhering to a strict non-fraternization policy in the work place. The man clearly has principles.
