All New X-Men #17 Review –“Dazzler is President! Yes! Skye, No She Isn’t.”


Story

We discover the recent ramification of President Dazzler’s death caused the Future X-Men to come to the present time. Meanwhile, Magik, Iceman and Beast travel to the future to discover other X-Men.

The Good

This is another amazing issue where we discovering more interesting versions of characters in the future. I really like the take on why the future x-men have come here. It was also nice to see what could have been for Dazzler to be President. There are some pretty interesting characters here like Jubilee as the new Wolverine, an Iron Man Sentinel and Shogo as Cloak?  The art is still looking good with nice coloring. What’s the definitely good here is the dialogue with all the characters.

The Bad

It’s great we get to see great versions of X-Men characters but sadly we didn’t get to know anything them. It just bothered me that we got to know so much about the other future x-men we didn’t get to know any about theses X-Men. I just kind of wished we knew how these x-men characters got to this point. It’s so disappointing that we don’t even know Iron Man Sentinel’s name. I also felt they went through the panels a little too quickly.

Verdict

I gave this issue a 4/9 out of 5/10 stars. It’s another great issue from Bendis’ All-New X-Men run. It had great dialogue and we to learn more about why the future X-Men are here. Plus, we got see more versions of x-men characters. But sadly we didn’t know anything about them. But besides that is a really great issue and I recommend picking this up.
