All-New X-Men, Vol. 6: The Ultimate Adventure
by Brian Michael Bendis, Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger
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!
