Very nice! Out of the mouth of my favorite X-person too :D
How is this series on a whole, I've been thinking of adding it to my file in place of some I dropped, since it's got Kitty but on the other hand I haven't been a fan of some of Bendis' character directions or retcons.
This series is very.... it's not very typical of superhero story in that so far it's been very focussed on characters reacting to one another and very much not on a plot revolving around fighting supervillains. Very chatty, very Bendis - but well written as such. It uses the set up of the old X-Men pretty cleverly to question the evolutions in modern comics and comics characters and the history of the X-Men and at the same time make it pretty accessible to newcomers. There are times when the characterisation are a bit shacky, but overall it pulls through. I think it's been very, very good.
I got the first five issues but had to drop it because of financial reasons, but the bits and pieces I've seen its relatively decent if flawed. I'm ordring the second trade now though to catch up a bit.
If I had one fairly big cripe with it, it was that it was taking a bit too long to explain the main villain plot of the book so far; won't say what due to spoilers, but I will say they did some nice forward momentum with it this issue.
