7. All-New X-Men
X-Men and time travel go together like chocolate and a jar of peanut butter that won’t stop friggin’ time traveling.
The other day, as I tried to explain to my girlfriend just how complicated the X-Men are, I came up with the following: “The X-Men are confusing, because half of the team members are just alternate-universe versions of – or children of – the other half of the team.†The X-Men have been bouncing through time since Days of Future Past, although it’s usually with a backward-jumping directional bent.
A character from a horrible future will come back in time, change the present, and then just sorta stick around with the team. But the reverse occurred in All-New X-Men. The original X-Men team were blasted into the present and were stranded. They’ve been there/here ever since. Seeing that original team react to what’s happening now is fun, but when they see their own future selves, it’s incredible.
It created great character dynamics that really played out across the series.
