Plotwise, this story is kind of a wheel-spinner, but I enjoyed the alternate X-Men teams scattered through the messed up timeline. Also, the X-Men in this title actually have conversations, which is more than I can say for some of the titles from this era. Fun, but a bit fluffy.

A self-contained nostalgia trip through X-Men's era past (and future). It's an easy read and at times enjoyable, but more of a brain-off activity. Bunn washes away the already thin time-travel logic behind the Original Five X-Men's time-displacement. The encounters with various X-Men eras (the O.G. Generation X, 2099 and Silver Age) move too fast to provide much insight into the characters or attempt to develop any larger ideas. And the ultimate villain behind everything is as predictable as it is banal. When you compare it to the many other X-Men time travel stories (particularly ones by Claremont and even Bendis), it looks even worse.

This story did not make a lot of sense and the art isn’t awesome either.

Surprisingly good for a time travel story! I usually don't like those! I think because of the addition of my 2099 peeps and I LOVE me some 2099 stories.

So, this is probably more of an extension of the entire time travel saga started by Beast back in All-New X-Men #1 by Bendis - and I would recommend reading as such because it fits in really well. So read suggestion: All-New X-Men #1 -> Battle of the Atom -> Cross Time Capers
The book is really good, story is good fun and I definitely enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

More fun, but mostly because of all the damned time travel and illusions and the hearkening back to periods of X-History that were delicious but perhaps too cheesy to live - the 1990s Generation X, the X-Men of 2099 - good stuff, and important to refresh copyright through frequent use, and a little clunkily done here, but not so much as to fuck up a good time travel story. Enjoyed over a light dinner of aged cheese and diet cherry soda.
