First Look: ALL-NEW X-MEN #19 - X-Men vs the Purifiers

What will those that survived Battle of the Atom do next? They're not going to Disneyland, that's for sure.

The X-Men have been through quite a bit with Battle of the Atom. There've been some changes. While there will be an issue before this one, it's not looking like the X-Men will be getting too much time to rest and recuperate. Clashing with the Purifiers can't go well. Check out this first look (and new costumes!).

@war_killer: Oh no! What happened to Immonen? He was great! :(

-----

Re: This issue: Looks exciting! Still reveling in the underwhelming conclusion of BOTA, especially breaking up Kitty/Bobby. But I'm sticking around for the Guardian's crossover and because Immonen's art is fantastic (assuming he stays). (But if the O5 move to who-knows-where with Uncanny, I won't be reading any Jean Grey School titles. But I'm following Kitty around so it's ok.)

I don't like this O5 in the present stuff at all. It was a great idea for a beginning-middle-end storyline, but to make it an ongoing thing? Ugh. I'm not feeling it.

And Kitty's reasoning is almost as horrid as Cyclops'. I usually like to think of stuff like this from the perceptive of it being a trait of the fictional character and not a lack of ability by the writer, but in this case it's kinda tough.

A good writer makes opposing arguments equally viable, allowing the reader to be equally hard pressed when considering the right path - like Civil War or the opening decision in the House of M. With this BotA storyline the writing team fails. With Scott, Kitty and Rachel claiming these teenagers should decide what should happen is ridiculous - especially since their running a school. And Kitty getting upset that the other's didn't back her view is even worse - completely illogical. "You're quitting because they didn't agree with you?!"

It's all lame.

Logan and Alex are my two favorite mutants right now. Everyone else I seriously dislike or am complete indifferent towards. If I were writing an X-Men comic right now, there would be a lot of deaths is all I'm saying.

so, your more an avenges fan than x-men?

that's cool, but neither logan or alex should be on any x-teams (I know alex currently isn't), and logan has been more of an avenger for years.

@daddy_xero: The Avengers are a tad too superhero-y for me. I like the X-men because they've seemed more grounded in 'reality'. My 7-member X-Men team: Alex, Logan, Erik, Angelica, Kurt, Peter, Alison.

90's costumes. The book is pretty much cringe -worthy because it's idiotic that any person would support them staying in the present. To see kitty pryde acting like she's some head master to them is even more groan inspiring.

Don't like the costumes. They should have stayed with the original ones to remind everyone these are the O5 (or maybe a slight variation but with the same color scheme). How did original Bobby change from snowman Iceman into sharp edges Iceman in between one issue? Guess I'll have to read it to find my answer!

I would have rather they be sent back to their original time but keep their memories intact. Then we could have seen rehashes of familiar story lines from the 60s, but with a twist - - start a new alternate timeline (a la Star Trek movies) with familiar themes and characters . . . but different.

I'm sure at some point the Original Five are gonna go back to their time but i'm more concerned about the effects their presence will have on the present in the long term.. I like the fact that Jean is back but i would like for it to be the older jean that married Scott Summers and have her in a relationship with someone new.. With all the time travel going on, why not try to find a way to fix Cable.. that's a guy who needs help and i would like to see Rachel Grey or Summers whichever she is using to have a bigger role. She was better when she was with Excalibur.

So the original 5 X-Men from the beginning are in present times, and have seen the huge mess that is the current plots, and are now staying in the present to fight criminals? Is there any stability left in the fabric of time or do I need to remind myself again that this is a comic book and that continuity is a urban legend?

I just read the Battle of the Atom and it is just another ''Future is horrible ! '' mess over and over again. I mean there are so many reasons that these events should be prevented but yet they don't care what will happen in the future ? Sure future can be changed and yet from the ending, all I see is history gonna repeat itself and we will get another Mad Jean saga, I am sure of it now.

It is just painful to see how moronic some characters act. Walking to the disaster you are aware of but do nothing to prevent it.

Ever since the ''bring the original 5 '' stuff started , I felt that it wouldn't gonna end well and now I am convinced of it. Someone or some ''thing''' preventing them from returning back home will use them , cause another chaos and we will get all the mournfull sagas all over again. I just can't handle the depressing and idiotic nature of it anymore ....Not to mention the X-23 - Scott pairing and all that crap coming our way O.o....

It was fun at the start 'oh we are bringing the young versions back' but now they actually gonna stay ? Way to keep ''reality'' and '' timelines'' steady. They never learn...
