++the opening consequences with beast
-not a fan of the weird differentiation in art and strange flow midday through the first issue
-over the future brotherhood peeps
?? X-23&Angel? Huh
-future baddies plan seems kinda dumb tying it all to one Mutant and acting like it hasn't been tried before...when it has (Messiah complex storyline was kinda alllllll about that)
++past Bobby still rocks
++Emma and Jean moments
++Old Scott and Jean moment

I read this and [b:All-New X-Men, Vol. 5: One Down|19539377|All-New X-Men, Vol. 5 One Down|Brian Michael Bendis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1411227655s/19539377.jpg|27665932] in the same day and now they blur together. They were both fine but confusing, due to time travel and the fact that I didn't read the Age of the Atom event (I THINK?) I don't remember which volume had the cute alternate realities? Maybe 5? anyway that was my favorite part.

Hm. Didn't like the first chapter/issue in this collection. The rest was interesting, and a good second look at the future "evil" X-Men.
My interest remains, but it's muted...

Brian Michael Bendis definitely watched Looper! He plays with time travel well and adds a third layer of the original X-Men with the depiction of Beast. The Angel story line really comes into its own here as well.

All this time travel messes with my head but there was more young Angel and Iceman on this and less Jean Gray, so I was happy.

Now I can't decide whether to go straight onto volume 6 or divert to Uncanny X-men for Xavier's will reading.

Very strong issue. The Jean /Hank and Jean/Scott moments are really good

Confusing, but good confusing, in the way that only really great time-travel / alternate reality stories can be. Past X-Men stranded in the present, future mutants coming to kill current X-Men, and a really interesting mix of unplanned-for elements and personalities. Good stuff.
