fine. im so confused all the time when we start jumping universes... the story was a neat little stand alone, though!!
I considered rating this 3.75 stars because it felt disjointed, but I'm pretty sure that was because I was reading it in single issues instead of by volume. Which I don't really enjoy, but I'll have to do that for some comics.
Overall, I really liked this plot. It was funny and the art was great, as always. I really liked Miles Morales as Spider-man. I am going to have to read more of him.

This had a couple of nice character beats. And it sets up something that could be interesting in the new relaunches.
Man oh man, this was pretty fun. So after reading volume 4 of Uncanny X-Men and REALLY enjoying it I almost wanted to go to volume 5 but instead I jumped back to All-New X-Men so I keep in some type of order. Now, last volume of All New X-Men was good but I always worry because I hear it falls deep into the shitty zone. However, volume 6 is not that drop!
So we got the New X-Men, which are really the old X-Men, but they're teenagers traveling to the Ultimate Universe. If you don't know what that is, it's a Marvel universe similar to 616 (the regular) but with variations on characters and stories. When they get there both hilarity and touching moments begin when the X-Men meet the Ultimate X-Men (and Ultimate Spider-man which...I guess happened cause Bendis made him and also they know it'll sell more).
What I liked: Loved the Jean meeting Jean moments. I also dug the whole Iceman coming into his own. Also his talk with his ultimate counterpart was funny as hell. I dug Miles flirting with Jean cause lol who wouldn't? hot red head come on! The pacing was also pretty great and it just flies by with the snappy dialog and story.
What I didn't like: Spider-man felt a bit forced in. Beast could have gotten a better gig in here. He seemed a afterthought. The power of the girl who can take you to different realities felt a bit forced too but you know, we have to have a story.
Overall, this was pretty fun and enjoyable. Def was a good volume in this long running series. If you enjoyed All-New X-Men up to this point I doubt this will disappoint either!

I'm still enjoying this series, but not quite as much as Uncanny. Honestly, the characters just have a habit of being too whiny for me. I get it, they're still teenagers, but come on. A girl doesn't like you, cool, move on to something else. I don't need it to keep coming up. It's like they want to create their own version of the Wolverine/Jean dynamic but use Beast instead. And make them teenagers. And Jean is not that likable in this. She's cocky and invasive (first rule of being a good guy with psychic powers is do not run around just using your psychic powers on people, especially not if you're going to follow it up every time with, "Sorry, I'm really trying to not use my powers without permission.").
Plus there are some things that just logically didn't make sense. X-23 is on some highway going somewhere (turns out to be the Xavier school), but you have no idea where because the highway signs were blank. They had their own specific zoomed in panel, but were blank. And Warren somehow managed to get from the SOUTH POLE to CANADA in just a few hours? AND that other guy was somehow able to follow him on foot?
Logical plot holes aside, this was an entertaining read. I'm really starting to like Bobby and Warren and I love getting to see alternate realities and how everyone stacks up. Of course, it would've been nice if they labeled everyone since a few were never introduced and you had to google or guess the answer.
Mahmud Asrar is still on art and I really like his style. I like the design elements used, and it was cool to see the Ultimate versions come to life.
I'm still a fan of this series and what it is doing. I'm eager to see what is going to come next. I do hope they bring back Cyclops soon...

Originally gave this 3 stars out of context when I was working my way through the chronological Miles Morales Spider-Man.
It's not a great Miles story.
In the context of All-New X-Men, though, it is a VERY good arc. Almost 5 stars for me, but not quite.

Another fun X-Men story. Kind of sad that this new mutant's powers let her open portals to other universes, just in time for all the universes to collapse into Secret Wars' Battleworld... lol
Taking the All-New X-Men to the Ultimate Universe and back provides for a thoroughly charming story.
