The time displaced X-Men meet up to discuss returning to the past, and for once they're all in agreement. But before they go, they had to New York to thwart Mojo TV, give their goodbyes to the Starjammers, and head to Madripoor to wrap up with the Raksha. Polaris and Danger offer their help by forming a brand new X-Men chapter, as Beast gives a farewell to the ominous Gazing Nightshade.

| Well at least before y'all left, you gave us these sweet unis. |
They return to the mansion in New York and offer the mothervine mutants to Kitty, Storm and the X-Men Gold team. Later, Pickles bamfs Jean into the woods where an unsuspecting Cyclops awaits. And though it took 36 issues, the two heroes finally get their big make out moment.

| Finally! |
The issue wraps with them all assembled before the time jumping platform, but breaking news out of DC reveals the return of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. With that, the X-Men decide to stick around a little bit longer - but this issue and series drifts to a bittersweet conclusion.

So I'm convinced they canceled this series just because X-Men Gold was sooooo bad and they didn't want to hurt Marc Guggenheim's feelings. Back when Brian Michael Bendis brought this crew to the present almost 6 years ago, there's surely no way he thought they'd still be here. But Cullen Bunn managed to make lemonade out of the lemons, and what he gave us was a real, solid X-book. Hopefully his writing days with the children of the atom aren't all behind him, because he gave us some pretty good gems. I give this one a 9/10.
