At least he knows he's a blowhard.<BR/><BR/>The crossover is certainly long at 12 issues but every time through it has managed to hold my attention to the end and after all this time building up to the confrontation with Strfye I feel like it gives the final issue that much more weight.<BR/><BR/>It did bother me a little bit that Apocalypse mentions a way to get to the moon and all of the sudden the X-Men are there. We later learn it is one of his ships but that is when Cable, Cannonball, Havok and Polaris are there with no explanation of how they got there.<BR/><BR/>It was nice to see Cannonball coming into his own as well with his relationship with Cable evolving more as peers rather than mentor and protoge. They seem to have quite a father/son relationship which is appropriate given the main themes of the cross over.Justin B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12667573763201733677noreply@blogger.com
