All-New X-Men Vol. 7: The Utopians by Brian Michael Bendis

1.0

Whoa...this was...awful? Maybe it's the collection itself I have a problem with it. You get a 1 shot, then 2 cross over issues, and then the end reverts back to the X-Men for just a few moments mostly to out a character. That's it...

The big "controversy" here is Iceman coming out that he's gay. The scene is kind of cute, and Jean Grey being kind of catty and bitchy helps. Iceman even says "How's that possible? Bobby in the future isn't gay" but Jean goes 'Really? You sure? All his relationships suck" and you know what, these X-Men aren't the same as their future self. For example, I hate old jean, but I love this Jean. So there you go.

What I liked: Just the moments with Iceman and Jean. That's really about it. Also Jean is hot. Yep.

What I didn't like: The one shot was boring as hell. Training mission that leads nowhere. The vortex crossover event was fucking confusing and who gives a shit? I'd have to read this whole event to care. Also after Bobby comes out a new villain comes but who really cares at this point? Waste.

Overall this was a huge letdown. I liked almost all the volumes except 1 or 2, but this is a AWFUL collection. SKippppppp.
