That was one ...Like everyone else said before me... That was one of the better quite issues I have read. I think it's succeed to deliver the excat feeling of closeness and family nature that the X-men supposed to have and I remembered from the 90's cartoon (for some reason). The word that come to my mind when I'm thinking about this issue is "precise", as almost every dialogue between the X-men, every scene - they are all in the right amount, the right tune. Lobdel writing here is very delicate. He never let the characters explain their feelings and current thoughts to the reader, like he tended to do in, like, a milion other issues, but have them say it like human beings. The way Gambit, for example, asks about where's everybody, while being obvious to everyone in the room, instead of asking straight where is Rogue and Josef - that's an example that came to my head.<br /><br />Anyway, great issue.ray swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850259140570017583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-59693642385910595962009-01-26T19:52:00.000-05:002009-01-26T19:52:00.000-05:00Also Jameson continues working on the Creed/Bastio...<B>Also Jameson continues working on the Creed/Bastion story until Zero Tolerance.

The Wolverine...Yeah I always did enjoy this issue. The Wolverine/Xavier scenes were well done, but what I really liked was the undertone that the X-men were able to pick up their lives and keep going no matter what.<BR/><BR/>Yeah the mansion's destroyed again, yeah we lost friends. But we pick up the pieces and do the best we can.<BR/><BR/>Also Jameson continues working on the Creed/Bastion story until Zero Tolerance.

Lots of great character moments. I also liked the scene with Jean and Quicksilver, and the breakfast scene at the end made me smile (Jean:"Gambit, don't you dare!" Zapt! Cyclops:"Got it.")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-55539444515570945872009-01-24T09:43:00.000-05:002009-01-24T09:43:00.000-05:00I'm almost positive Harper stick's around as Basti...I'm almost positive Harper stick's around as Bastion's aide/punching bag at OZT, but I can't remember if we ever get an origin for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
