Weird.<br /><br />The telepathic robot, on the other hand, has bugged me forever. My only thought is that Jean was telepathically attacking Wolverine from safety while he fought the robot, and she stopped when it was "killed".Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-40742142308329175642014-06-09T21:26:52.553-04:002014-06-09T21:26:52.553-04:00I'm pretty sure Jim Lee just wanted to draw Ge...I'm pretty sure Jim Lee just wanted to draw Genosha and Claremont had to figure out how to make sense out of it in the dialoguejnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-3824706736049980902014-06-09T19:08:31.739-04:002014-06-09T19:08:31.739-04:00This was my first X-Men comic and every time I rea...This was my first X-Men comic and every time I read it it takes me back to being nine years old. I don't think it's the best comic ever, but it's probably my favorite. Claremont is so good at referencing old stories in a way that makes you want to go back and read them to fill in the gaps and gets so much out of the Magneto portrayal. The Jim Lee art is great, even if he and Claremont aren't always on the same page. (I'm pretty sure the Delgado plot is just Claremont trying to make sense of the artwork)<br /><br />There is just a ton of energy in the comic and Claremont manages to throw in some great emotional beats, too. Pretty much everything I look for in an X-Men comic.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447265712189987074noreply@blogger.com
