X-Men Blue, Vol. 3: Cross Time Capers by Cullen Bunn

adventurous medium-paced

1.5

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.
