Last year I built up a collection of every comic he's ever been in, and I've been reading through them slowly, really getting to know him (like Spider-Man fans would get to know <i>him</i>). I just read this issue for the first time since it came out, and now I remember how I became a Havok fan in the first place. I still don't know much about what happened to him between 1995 and 2006, but I will soon.<br /><br />I've been lurking on your site since I re-read #71 a couple of weeks ago. Fantastic reviews, man. Thanks for all your insight and hard work.josta59https://www.blogger.com/profile/06213087700462231835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-14283038969781507362008-03-22T15:54:00.000-04:002008-03-22T15:54:00.000-04:00When I first read this as a kid, I absolutely love...When I first read this as a kid, I absolutely loved the issue, even going so far as to call it one of my favourite comics for a while.<BR/><BR/>In retrospect, it's still very strong and has a lot of power. Duursema kind of overdoes it on the crying scenes, but it's well written and the strength of the scenes still stand out. Besides Havok, there's some great stuff with Rahne and Guido as well.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see Havok get so much development at this point. I think his rejoining in a few issues (which does just come down to Polaris talking him back into it) is realistic, as this is a crisis of faith after a tough loss. Given the terrible portrayal Alex would get after AOA (power out of control, then becoming a villain), it's nice that he got this character arc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
