I wasn't gonna do this but...
I liked the most recent X-Men. I am however glad that Phoenix
is still dead.
There was one thing in particular that I liked. Progress...
Marvel again changes its characters with time.
I am of course referring to Scott's marriage. There is a peculiar
thing about it however. To my recollection, Scott is now
the only Marvel superhero, at least long-standing superhero
to be married to a non powered non mutated non brilliant non green
person. As a matter of fact, I can only think of one other
Marvel Character, Alpha Flight's own Vindicator (Guardian?)
(is that his new name?) (I like Vindicator bette
(are you listening John Byrne?)
My other character of recollection is Barry Allen's (the Flash for
you Marvel Snobs) (I was one for five years, so no insult
intended) wife Iris. Of course she's now dead. There are
also all the Earth Two heroes, but I don't want to really count that.
That is a little more like What If stories. At least in the case
of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
If anyone can think of anything else along these lines,
please add your commentary.
I found Warrior 10. It is good.
I recommend the Comico book, Grendel. I enjoyed it.
The art is a little cartoony, a la Joe Staton, or Lenin Delsol,
but the story is engaging.
Speaking of Art, what is the opinion of JRJR and Wiacek on
X-men?
That's enough
I am

Must be Mastermind". Sort of took a lot of the interest and excitment away. Joe P.S. Banshee is attached (nobody has said if they are married or not) to a "normal" person.. P.P.S. Actually, Madyln MUST have some amazing powers, she was able to turn her hair blonde in the next to last panel.....
