All of Jean's thoughts refer to "He." "He told me weeks ago he was dying ..." Never specifies who the "He" is about.<br /><br />She's mourning the Changeling!

Someone, maybe Friedrich, maybe incoming writer Arnold Drake, maybe even ol' Stan himself, seemed to realize the absurdity of the premise fairly quickly, as next issue has Beast contemplating more or less the same thing and hoping it doesn't take the death of a solo X-Man to prove Duncan wrong. <br /><br />And of course, this whole "disband the team" business lasts for all of two or three issues at best, so clearly, no one's heart is really in it. <br /><br /><i>Problem was that it had to cut back its entire line when it switched to distribution by Independent News, a sister company of rival DC, ramping up its output with a vengeance when it left.</i><br /><br />Very true, and this issue was published shortly after that new deal was put into place. I think I touched on that in one of the previous reviews. Or maybe it was a comment. Or a fever dream. I can't remember. <br /><br />@Anne: <i>Nelson and Murdock must be rich</i><br /><br />They must be.

The nephew just turned three and can go all "Hulk smash!" in an instant. But how in the Don Heck does Juggernaut trashing the place look in Angel's eyes like "playin' erector set"?<br /><br /><i>Teebore: Fred Duncan catches up with the team, and tells them the confrontation with Juggernaut proves the point he came to make: the X-Men need to disband.

"Xavier's been training you in the use of your powers individually and as a team. So you might be able to get along all right on your own, but you're even more formidable complementing each other's strengths and making up for one another's weaknesses. The bad guys'll come after you regardless, so I think it's best if you split up unhappily and get kidnapped or worse."<br /><br /><i>Teebore: "Comics Economics" according to Stan.</i><br /><br />What Stan <i>couldn't</i> say was that Marvel itself had been wanting to expand its line for years — for the sake of its readers, its staff and freelancers, and its own bottom line — and in fact it had practically glutted the market for much of its history. Problem was that it had to cut back its entire line when it switched to distribution by Independent News, a sister company of rival DC, ramping up its output with a vengeance when it left.<br /><br />VW: <i>warfaere</i> — Mortal combat waged by pixies.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-86310266869902070112010-07-16T09:07:15.053-05:002010-07-16T09:07:15.053-05:00@Falen: "Hey boys, i know you're being ly...@Falen: <i>"Hey boys, i know you're being lynched, but could you stall for a bit? kthx, bai"</i><br /><br />Seriously, right?
