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 6 The Ultimate Adventure by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Mahmud Asrar (Artist), Marte Garcia (Colorist), Jason Keith (Colorist), Cory Petit (Letterer)


After having defeated the Purifiers and some time travelers who wanted to change the future the gang is taking a much-needed break with Angel and Laura, X-23 going off on their own overnight.  Jean has been training with Emma and the two are surprisingly becoming friends.  Suddenly Storm and Beast arrive to pick up Scott to take him to the reading of Professor X's will leaving the X-Men unsupervised.

New Beast is examing Cerebro when a new mutant registers on it.  He tells Angel and Jean Grey who both decide it would be a good idea to go and make contact with this mutant.  So they take the Blackbird to the location and introduce themselves to Clarissa who is freaked out naturally about discovering she has mutant powers and uses them to send all the X-Men to another Earth in another dimension.

Iceman finds himself fighting Molepeople under the earth while Angel finds himself in the Savage Lands where he meets those that look like younger versions of Wolverine.  Beast has been captured by Dr. Doom.  Jean Grey finds herself in New York City with Miles Morales as Spider-Man and when she reads his mind she realizes she's on the wrong Earth.  She has him take her to the address of the X-Men mansion which at first appears disserted, but they are soon set upon by X-Men, including Jean Grey.

They use Cerebro to find the other X-Men and go after them.  The hard part is getting to Beast who is being held by Dr. Doom and finding the young girl and working out a way to get home.  This was a great comic because it had Miles Morales in it and he was a welcome distraction.  Also seeing a different world where man created mutants puts a whole new twist on things.  It's one thing to be proud you're a mutant or finally come to terms with it as something that couldn't be helped because you were created that way and another thing altogether to be forced to become a mutant and likely wish you weren't.  Bendis, as usual, has written a brilliant book that really makes you take a different look at the mutant question.  I give this book five out of five stars.
