Surprisingly elegant and very welcome. Although there’s no attendant bump of his teleportation ability in terms of traveling great distances in one go or rapid succession, just a greater understanding as you said, meaning I’m still left to imagine he got to France in <i>Uncanny</i> #300 via an aircraft he parked off-panel a fair distance from where Forge was set up.<br /><br />While this final chapter was perhaps rushed, I’m vastly more responsive to the incorporation/resolution of old UK Captain Britain stories and the character work you mention than Nigel Wossname’s plans for the Warpies, so no complaints on my end.<br /><br />I guess I agree with Rachel on the red outfit being more her color, but <i>that freaking haircut absolutely has to go</i>.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-13238239022104021712017-07-28T13:57:01.068-05:002017-07-28T13:57:01.068-05:00Good point on this issue feeling rushed. It's ...Good point on this issue feeling rushed. It's almost like Davis decided to abruptly cut this storyline short and crammed all his resolutions into one issue.<br /><br />Unfortuately, this is about the end of my interest in Davis's run. I love the first chunk, up through issue 50, I like the second chunk with Sat-Yr-9 quite a bit, and I think this part is okay but not great. The stuff coming up, though, does nothing to me. I get so bored of nonstop returns to the "Days of Future Past" era!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-40955948874597405482017-07-15T11:03:29.451-05:002017-07-15T11:03:29.451-05:00Nigel?

Miss me?" is what "Dark Phoenix" says in UNCANNY #175 when she appears to the X-Men, but I wish Davis had done the homage to that issue and the final panel of #174 still a little bit more obvious.Teemunoreply@blogger.com
