ALL NEW X MEN #11
Writer: Bendis
Artist: Imonen
And so the cliffhangar was doubly ruined.
Not only did #10 cut off the ending a panel too early, UXM filled out the answer for you. Presumably, if we are intended to read both books together, the reader was supposed to read ANXM before UXM. Seems like Editorial/Shipping Schedule decided otherwise.
In this issue, a large part of it is deals with an argument that follows Angel's decision to join Cyke's team. A scuffle breaks out. Jean goes fascist again and Kitty remonstrates her for her mind control actions. Still, the seriousness of the mind rape still doesn't feel like it's being covered well enough. You get panels where Kitty explains to Jean that people are understandably scarred of her, but you don't get any panels of people actually being scarred of her.
I did like Angel's moments in this issue. He voices a quite understandable concern. He is screwed either way. If he goes back and things carry on as they are supposed to, he ends up as a psychologically damaged, oblivious blank state. If he stays, which none of them should do, he's messing with the time line.
I think there clearly is a plan for the time line to not be messed with, but for the young five to carry on as they are. However, I'm just not interested anymore.
Also, in this issue, finally someone will confront Wolverine's XMen about all the murder and chaos that's been going on, perpertrated by Mystique under the guise of the XMen.
I'll flick through the next issue of ANXM and UXM. Maybe buy them, but it shouldn't be too long before I drop them both.
