All New X-Men #9 Review

4 / 5

This is my first review for the series, so I should start by establishing that this is one of my top pulls. I love All New X-Men. It's definitely an upper echelon book in both writing and art. The premise basically is that a dying Beast brings back the young, original X-Men team to the present to confront Cyclops, and help stop him from tearing the world apart. Every aspect in its 9 issue run so far has been well considered, making what's already an interesting story very believable. 

Issue 9 shows the young team being taught by Kitty Pryde about fighting Sentinels. As you'd expect, their first encounter in the Danger Room against the Sentinels is a small disaster, but the event is actually more interesting because of what is going on with Jean Grey. Earlier in the series she developed her telepathic powers and is still learning not only how to manage them, but some of the finer points of the morality behind using them. We get to see even her peers getting frustrated in this issue about her using her powers on them to read their minds continually, eventually leading to a fight between her and young Cyclops. Meanwhile, young Angel is still having trouble adjusting to the situation, and is probing his skepticism through modern day Beast. It's part of the interesting complexity that makes this series such a pleasure to read. 

The conclusion to this issue ties into last month's Uncanny X-Men in which Cyclops and his team decide it's time to visit Wolverine's school. I'm assuming that the next Uncanny X-Men is going to address this encounter, and I can't wait!
