Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 14: Phoenix? by Tom Raney, Ben Oliver, Robert Kirkman
3.0

While I liked the story itself of what was going on with the x-men team and its splintering, I am incredibly bothered by the laissez-faire attitude of letting in some new mutant who can simply bend reality, or use magic, at will, and noticing simply does not occur, by a bunch of hyper-alert, overly-trained mutants. Well, gee, I guess they are teenagers. The hell. Plus? Dressing nearly every female in skanky clothes is truly overdone. I do want to read the volumes preceding this, as well as the ones following as I'm highly intrigued with Rogue's ability, or lack thereof, as well as what is happening with Jean Grey. I just wish I didn't have to feel like a dirty teenager because of that.
