X-MEN BLUE VOL. 3: CROSS TIME CAPERS Paperback – March 20, 2018

I like the original X-MEN team, no phoenix and nobody dies at the end. It was nice to see the X-MEN 2099 team again, even if it was for a while. Great artwork and storytelling.

Loved it loved it loved it!!!!! This was a temporary solution to the question of how the original X-men interface the whole x verse

X-Men Blue has been an insanely fun series so far. For this volume writer Cullen Bunn continues the original X-Men's story with an adventure dealing with the fact that the stars of this book don't really belong here. Time has finally caught up to the X-Men as the universe begins to unravel around them. It appears the only way to fix it is to return to their original timeline, but things don't go as planned and they wind up careening through time. Around them the world has changed for the worse, but is it really their fault? This isn't the first time a writer has explored the implications of the original X-Men not returning to their time. Previously, Dennis Hopeless had solved this very problem in his All-New X-Men series. This volume undoes Hopeless's story, but puts a clever twist on it that makes the decision make sense. R. B. Silva does the bulk of the art for the collection and it's really good, possibly the best the series has had yet. Time travel stories are often hit or miss for people depending on what you want to see out of it. For me personally though, this is the best time travel story I've read in awhile, with thought and care put into it that made it worthwhile.5/5

Cullen Bunn seems to have trouble figuring out what to do with the alternate time classic X-men plus Bloodstorm and Draken, so enter yet another time travel plot. This trope has made X-book continuity almost impossible to follow starting in the 1990s, but Bunn does not completely botch it. While I am not quite sure what the point was in introducing X-Men: 2099 team again--which hit a mid-90s nostalgia for me-- and the Generation X team under Emma Frost showing up, but once Bunn gets the Blue team into a proper Brian Bendis' plotline and revisiting that, this feels more grounded immediately. Silas and Silva both do good artwork here even if they are in Marvel house style. There are some out of character developments, Magneto builds a time machine in the basement subliminal suggestions by Professor X. This element fairly sloppy writing given the general talents of the characters involved. Yet this is a great improvement over the Gold Team and the Weapon X lines--and there isn't enough of the Red Team and Astonishing line to make a strong judgment yet--but there are some major flaws here.

I really enjoyed this book, I only recently got into the x men so it doesn’t feel like any repeats from previous story arcs for me because I never read anything else to begin with. I thought it was interesting how now we know the original have to go back to their original time, we just don’t know when. It helped to answer questions that I had from previous story arcs way back in All-New X-Men too

A strong installment of what I think is the best x-book in recent memory. Cullen Bunn weaves the past and the future together and shows the effects of the time-displaced original X-Men on the whole of history. R.B. Silva's artwork was fantastic. The best arc yet for the book and can't wait to see where things are going.

I love time travel and the different things going on at one time. Totally awesome. Can't get better than that.

Great read, finally answers some questions about the time displaced X-men and if they can ever return to their time.
