I'll be honest: as much as I usually love the banter in this series, Bendis goes a little too far here. Everything is a little too...punchy. It's not just Bobby, either. From Jean's attempt at a heart-to-heart with Laura to the original X-Men's interactions with the new mutant, the conversations are a little too light-hearted for the gravity of the situations. Moreover, we've moved into the ridiculous with the fact that the time-displaced X-Men are now dimensionally displaced as well. At some point, it might be nice for the team to just fight Juggernaut or something. Between the punchiness and ridiculousness, it was sort of rough getting through this issue.
** (two of five stars)
