All-New X-Men, Vol. 1: Yesterday's X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis
2.0
I don't understand how Bendis' other work can be so good, and this one is so bad. There isn't a character in here that has a vocabulary above high school level. I also get annoyed when people bring Jean back. These days, as soon as she shows up everyone else becomes a background character. Kitty gets relegated to baby-sitter, but I can't complain about it, because at least this way she's still in the plot. Everyone who isn't directly involved with Jean gets dropped. With so many other cool things he could have done in the wake of AvX, he chose to bring baby Jean forward.
Also, if she keeps mind raping people I'm gonna lose it. Everyone keeps saying "stop getting in my mind" and she's all like "Last time, I swear," but it never is! She actually altered how Warren was feeling and there were NO repercussions. People shake their finger at her, and that's all. This is not okay, but no one dares to cross the sacred cow.
