I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

All New X-Men Vol. 5: One Down by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Stuart Immonen (Penciler), Wade Von Grawbadger (Inker), Sara Pichelli (Artist), Justin Ponsor (Colorist), Marte Garcia (Colorist), Cory Petit (Letterer)


In the previous book, Jean is being torn between her two loves of Hank and young Scott until Scott leaves to go with his father and Hank had too many demands of her.  Kitty is nursing a broken heart over Colossus. The X-Men face off against the Purifiers who are after a mutant named Laura who is also known as X-23 is the clone of Wolverine.  Young Scott seems to calm her down, but now he's gone.

This comic opens with older Hank talking to the Watchers about how he can't send the X-Men back in time and how he had changed the timeline.  They look at what could be at what Hank doesn't want to happen. There are two short comics inside about the romance between Peter and Kitty and Logan and Jean that are pretty hilarious.

Older Scott has an intimate talk with Jean that she misinterprets and tells him that he is the man she hopes Scott would become. He tells her that they can never happen and that Emma Frost will be training her just like Charles had been training her back in her time. Jean had developed a new power that she needs to learn to use.

Laura leaves only to be attacked by someone that looks like young Scott. She makes it back to the bunker to warn the others. But it's too late the attack is about to begin.  A group from the future has arrived to take out the X-Men in order to change the future.  This book takes the series to a whole new level. The characters from the future are amazing and a total surprise. It's great having Laura around and it's great fun watching Angel chase after her trying to catch her.  I can't tell you how much I loved this comic. I really recommend this book.
