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. 3: Out Of Their Depth by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Stuart Immonen (Penciler), Wade Grawbadger (Inker), David Lafuente (Artist), Marte Gracia (Colorist), Rain Beredo (Colorist), James Campbell (Colorst), adn VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)
In the previous comic, Jean Grey was still trying to get a hold on her powers and Cyclops meets up with Mystique who tells him half-truths and twists his mind in order to sow dissension within the X-Men and succeeds when Cyclops believes Mystique to be a good person and wonders why he isn't in charge. Mystique, Lady Mastermind, and Sabertooth are robbing high target places while Lady Mastermind creates images of the past X-Men doing it. Warren Worthington III, aka Angel, meets up with his adult counterpart and comes away shell-shocked at what he sees. He decides to join up with Magneto and his gang because he sees his future self as so bleak. The Jean Grey school of X-Men are there to talk him out of it.
No one wants to see the past X-Men split up or see one of them go to the Magneto group. But things go awry when Jean uses her mind to control Warren's in order to get him to stay. The triplets who are connected to Emma Frost attack Jean mentally in order to show her what it's like to have someone mess around in their head. It ends with Warren leaving with Magneto and Jean getting a lecture from Kitty Pryde about the use of her powers.
Captain America and the Uncanny Avengers arrive to warn them that the past X-Men are wanted in connection with these crimes and the deaths of a few people. He wants them to handle it and the X-Men to stand down, but Wolverine isn't having none of that and he picks up their scent and traces it to where they are but doesn't want the past X-Men going in, which is about as likely to not happen as Wolverine not looking into this in the first place.
There's also a story about Jean Grey and Beast and Cyclops and Iceman and their adventures when they go into town. Overall this was a great comic. It expanded on the previous one and you find out what Mystique's end game is, which will surprise you. Jean Grey is such a fabulously complicated character in this series. She has little control over her powers and when she gets emotional she just reacts and her powers come into play, usually causing harm. It should be really interesting to see which direction the comic will go in in the next book. I can't wait to find out.
