    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.

    Homo-sapien:1

    Homo-superior: 2

    Wow, I'm floored by the first page alone. Jean Grey is in the kitchen, where most internet men agree she should be, Cyclops is being a dick zapping Beast's hand at the dinner table, and Iceman is making ice cream to go on his pie. Just some rhetorical questions... why does Jean have to cook if the regular chef is indesposed? Why is ok to assault a friend at supper, and where are the other ingredients coming from for the ice cream?

    Okay, really!?! Bobby is making "a creamy, frosty treat"? That sounds gross. Professor X has already stopped using his mutant ability in favor of looking at the headlines in the newspaper for leads in prospective X-Men and Magneto has apparently learned to Astral Project his subconscious to look for new BoEM members. I would love to hear Stan Lee explain to me how Magneto suddenly had similar powers to Professor X, but using magnetism. Please explain this one to me...I am SUPER CURIOUS.

    Final Thought: Ponder this. The king of Atlantis has to use a submarine for travel under water. He can breath under water, swim super fast and even fly, but a two mile trek from Atlantis to the surface.... ooh boy, better get the sub ready.

    TLDR: Namor can't swim well enough, he's easily manipulated by suggestion like "maybe you are a mutant, too" and Magneto can steal other people's powers, when the writer gets lazy enough.

    EDIT: Copy/Pasted wrong Review. Thanks to "etragedy" for the catch.

      Overview   This issue I liked a lot. Basically it guest stars Namor, and there is a race between X-Men and Brotherhood to see who can nab the fish man for their respective teams. Awh isn't it sweet than in today's X-Men, both Xavier, Magneto and Namor are on the same team? Anyway, back to the past, issue starts off sort of sweet, all the X-Men are sitting around eating breakfast except for Jean who of course is in the kitchen. No really, I mean, seriously. I mean, Yes I know I am reading really ...

      Someday The X-Men Will Get Good - Today is Not That Day 0

      There's no way to candy coat this - this issue of The X-Men is bad.At many points while reading this issue I was tempted to give up - but I stuck it out to the end. Why do I say it's bad? Nearly every page is filled contains something goofy or incredibly coincidental or both. On the very splash page, the X-Men are sitting down to dinner and Scott blasts Hank with his eye beams for reaching across the table. Meanwhile, Bobby covers a piece of pie with a mound of snow, because that's going to mak...
