Chris Claremont loves him the airplanes. Like you, I enjoyed that this issue was spent, not fighting a villain, but surviving a situation. One of my favorite bits from the Claremont/Byrne Uncanny was when the X-Men escaped the Savage Land on a raft only to nearly die from the common, real world storms off the tip of South America.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480022982363984291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-88756367503981283252011-04-30T21:24:41.282-04:002011-04-30T21:24:41.282-04:00"The new status quo for Wolverine, on the men..."The new status quo for Wolverine, on the mend and humbled for perhaps the first time, is an interesting direction for the character."<br />It's not the first time. The Reavers whupped him good at the end of the Outback era and he spent from Uncanny 255(ish) up to the launch of Ajectiveless X-Men "a shadow of his former self" (Deathbird's term). He also hallucinated Carol Danvers and Nick Fury during this time.<br /><br />I was always disappointed by the "Wolverine always had bone claws" revelation. We've been told that his claws leaped from "bionic housings in his forearms". Why install bionic housings for something that was already there? My theory, and I still wish they'd used this, was that his healing factor had seen the claws (and, presumably, the housings, though I admit just realizing that) for so long that when they were absent, his body put them back.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480022982363984291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-65403684952541556772009-02-19T15:30:00.000-05:002009-02-19T15:30:00.000-05:00This, along with X-force, are probably the best 2 ...This, along with X-force, are probably the best 2 chapters of FA.

It felt like a cheap contrivance to add even more grim-n-gritty to a character that already had a pretty heavy dose to start with. I had been growing more and more disenchanted with the X-Books over the past year's worth of issues and this was the end of it for me. I even passed on the final chapter of the crossover, something I couldn't have imagined doing during the height of my obsession with all things X.<BR/>I'm glad to see that what was such a deal breaker for me succeeded in hooking so many new readers though. Adam Kubert was always my favorite of the Kubert bros and I would be amenable to reading this run someday if I can find 'em for a decent price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-24523924272768939592008-01-29T21:11:00.000-05:002008-01-29T21:11:00.000-05:00Always loved this issue!
