Ok…I have passed on talking about this particular thing for far too long, but how many slip and fall accidents have been caused by Iceman’s ice slaloms?

X-Men #007 The Graduation Evacuation
In the six previous books, there has apparently been enough time passed for the X-Men to fully go through prep school AND their specialized mutant power training. Ridiculous. I really wish they hadn’t just skipped forward for no apparent reason. The just lost the ability to let us watch them grow. Now, if you’re reading All-New X-Men in 2012/2013 then this little skip in time is perfect, because the X-Men from the 1960’s are pulled into 2012 by Beast. Not sure that all of those dates are accurate, with comic book time and all.

X-Men #006 Fancy Pants Fish Man
So Quicksilver is finally in his blue suit(but only for the cover), Jean Grey has a mask that lets her hair out and the Prince of Atlantis is being an asshole… again, but this time to the X-Men instead of the FF.

X-Men #003 The Blob
Surprisingly this book didn’t make me want to wretch. This is the first book where Stan Lee has finally started to actually develop the characters of the X-Men. Cyclops starts to be the brooding leader character that we all know, Beast is finally shown to be an intellectual, and Iceman is still really, really childish.
What’s again we are treated to a ridiculous training segment at the beginning of this book, and then Cyclops and Professor X have thought bubbles about being in love with Jean Grey.
