B: I think it could be read either way but it does definitely
leave the door open for some
or all of them to show up again
in future issues.
S: And the original X-Men are
still in the present.
B: There are three epilogues
where we see various things
wrapped up but I liked the last
one best.
S: Is that the one where Kitty
Pryde quits the team?
B: She changes sides.
S: She switched sides from
Wolverine’s side to Cyclops’
side.
B: And she takes the original
X-Men with her.
S: What’s her reasoning there?
B: I think that her reasoning
is that when The Brotherhood
first arrived and everyone
thought they were X-Men, they
wanted to force the young XMen to go back against their
will and everyone at the Jean
Grey School just went with it
(except Rachel Grey). No one
listened to Kitty’s objections.
The only people prepared to
help were Cyclops and his
team. It turned out she was
right, something was wrong.
S: So now Scott has got one

feels like the balance of sympathy is switching from Wolverine to Scott.
S: It’s like he and Scott have
switched places. Wolverine is
now the sanctimonious one
and Scott’s the pragmatist.
B: I used to think it was the
other way around but now it
feels like Wolverine is getting
increasingly smarmy and is always dishing out ultimatums
and really taking the moral
high ground about everything.
So now Kitty and Cyclops and
those guys are re-united. Oh
and she broke up with Bobby.
S: Which he didn’t seem to
care much about. He was like,
‘Fine then.’
B: Well he just makes a snarky
comment back. I think Kitty
and the original X-Men switching sides is the most interesting thing that came out of this
story. I guess these characters
will henceforth be appearing
in Uncanny X-Men. Will All
New X-Men still even be a title?
S: All New X-Men, I believe,
is still going. Everything still
seems to be going and next
week Amazing X-Men #1 is out,
