RIGHT TIME TO READ ABOUT TIME TRAVEL

I wasn’t sure when to read this Annual issue, but it seems that I chosen the right time, after having read the comic books corresponding to the Volume 5 “The Omega Mutant”,…

…and since it’s a time travel tale, that’s not small talk!

Certainly I was able to enjoy to the fullest this Annual in that moment.

So, trust me! If you haven’t read this Annual yet, wait until having the above mentioned TPB, and you’ll have a blast (in time) with the Annual,…

…and you’ll never see Eva Bell in the same way before!


EVA BELL RULES

Eva Bell (aka Tempus) is a mutant with chronokinesis (a cool way to say that she can manipulates time) and she is one of the students in the Cyclops’ new school for mutants.

Eva was still a teenager, just introduced to the X-Men (in the middle of issues #2 & #3 (collected in Volume 1) when they were attacked by the Avengers Alpha Team (Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Spider-Woman) and Eva stopped them in a second (literally stopped in a second!), the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes beaten by a teenager just discovering her mutant powers and with none training at all…

…priceless!

And it was evident since then that we must expect great things from Eva Bell in the future…

…or any other time period!


GROWING PAINS

In Uncanny X-Men #17 (collected in the Volume 3 “The Good, The Bad and the Inhuman”) the rookie students of Cyclops were in a training session in their Danger Room, and in the middle of the mayhem of that,…

…Eva Bell disappears.

Just some minutes later, she re-appears.

Eva seemed odd, kinda more mature, sad gaze, sensible.

Now, in this Annual finally we know what happened with Eva Bell…

…in those “some minutes”.

So far, at that moment, Eva was able to create “freezing time bubbles”, but she learned in the hard way, not only she was able to do a lot more about time, but that she’s a near Omega-level mutant!
Time jumps out of her control, Eva was meeting colorful (and depending of your knowledge about Marvel Universe) and familiar characters (no, I won’t spoil!) in different time periods from the future and the past,…

…until meeting the Sorcerer Supreme from the far future! (Nope, I won’t tell who is neither!)

There, she will learn a lot about controlling her powers, but that…

…takes time.

How much, I won’t tell, but since it was quite a significant amount of time, she took roots,…

…and something more.

Trust me, this a truly astonishing and uncanny story, and if you are fan of Eva Bell, this is a must-read tale.

The only thing is that this is the Part 1 (of 2) of the “Secret Life of Eva Bell” where continues in the All-New X-Men Annual #1 (so, now I’ll need to be on the look out for this! Dang!)
