Scott and Jean's wedding has been getting built up in Uncanny, but actually occurs in X-Men. The Sabretooth plotline has been having more meat in X-Men but gets resolved in Uncanny. Same with issue 29 of X-Men. Shinobi was more prominent in Uncanny shouldn't he be over there? For that matter shouldn't most of the Acolytes stuff from Uncanny 298-300 be in X-Men, where the plotline was introduced? This stuff really frustrated me as a kid since I was mainly just reading adjectiveless X-Men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-5864435217474521392008-03-17T22:13:00.000-04:002008-03-17T22:13:00.000-04:00Yeah, I really have no idea why Romita suddenly st...Yeah, I really have no idea why Romita suddenly started to draw so many pages sideways. Maybe he thought the look suited the larger, wider character designs he was doing at the time.G.

The X-Cutioner's motivations in particular don't make much sense. However, the general idea behind the story is nice and the bachelor party scenes are mosly good. X-writers have gotten a lot of mileage out of Cyclops' guilt at sending Nate into the future since this.<BR/><BR/>Romita jr's art here is great, but everytime I think of the issue I think of the side splash pages. I know they're prevalent in other issues, but they really stand out here. Overall, a good issue leading up to the wedding, unlike X-Men#29, which felt like filler with the wedding as a backdrop for the events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
