Reread of Baby!Jean Arc
Still deeply agreeing with earlier reviews.
~~
Jean. Jean. Jean. What are you doing. No, seriously. I love you. I love all of it. But what are you doing. How many different ways has your head been spun around now. I'm so down and in the thick of it for everything that has to do with you, and Rachel, and Hank, and everyone who is everyone you like, love, hate, everything. But what are you doing.
Though at the same time I can't fault you. The whole world is assaulting you with the awesome of someone you aren't, from so many people you have no the vaguest clue really who are at all, except that they are suddenly in charge of you, because of your own choices.
Still in love. Still rooted in all of this. Definitely curious where it is going, and hoping the art from the Scott & Bobby skip class issue does not end up staying long.

This is more like it. Kitty finally takes Jean to task for messing with people's minds, giving her a stern talking-to. There are a lot of neat little personal interactions, which is an area Bendis excels in but hasn't been nailing in these books until now.
Chief among those interactions is the "reunion" between original Cyclops and his younger brother Havok. Teenage Scott and now 30-something Alex get to have a moment that they've never really had before, thanks to the screwiness of time travel. There's also a nice moment between Jean and Old Hank and then Jean and Young Hank, which probably changes more things in the X-Men than any of their other adventures in the future could.
The art by Immonen is spectacular yet again, keeping multiple actions clear in each panel while maintaining the flow of the story. David Lafuente's pencilling in the last issue is more cartoony, but it suits the lighter nature of that decompression story perfectly. As Scott and Bobby go to town to lighten up and Jean and Hank share secrets, it feels like classic X-Men from the Claremont/Byrne era in the 1970s: world-shaking action followed by some downtime with joking and intense teenage feelings.
Yeah, this is the stuff.

3.25 stars | Nothing much really happened in this volume. I'm not a fan of the artwork in this series so far. The young x-men look as old (if not older) as the adults and it's confusing. The last issue had a different artist and I like the drawing style a bit better.
I also felt uncomfortable when Beast had the 'omg Jean is so beautiful, I love her' thought when he was sitting with YOUNG/TEENAGER Jean Grey and he's like 50.

Issue #15, at the end of this collection, was the best. I want more like that.

So many strong references to old favorites, but with the twist of free will! Kitty gets a chance to rebut Alex's terrible m-word speech, and the art is consistently beautiful, expressive, and easy to read. I feel like this team hit their stride here

I have an intellectual crush on Brian Michael Bendis.
