I think that
All-New X-Men is the best-looking Marvel Comic around these days.
Stuart Immonen's pencils,
Wade Von Grawbadger's inks and
Rain Beredo's colors make for great art.
Brian Michael Bendis has been tapping the time-travel narratives heavily of late. His
Age of Ultron series experienced a sudden loss of power three issues in I think largely due to the introduction of time travel. And the last few issues of his
Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, once an effervescent comic book, have felt tired and flat. But the story of teenage X-Men from the 1960s introduced to our jaded, techno-heavy, barbarous present age has been consistently excellent.
Comic books, a supposedly disposable media, are wonderful reflections of the Zeitgeist. So Bendis'
All-New X-Men take on time travel -- placing characters from the 1960s, with their cleanliness and idealism, in our End Times -- is a brilliant idea. Below are four scrumptious scans from
All-New X-Men #12:
