    Much Better

    Nice cover. I mean come one, luvs. Who doesn't like a little competition for the redhead? Two hands, two men, two very big egos, and the little princess stuck in the middle, now isn't that a blast? Too bad it has nothing whatsoever to do with the issue plotline. Big no-no. Nice cover, but absolutely no relevance. Pity.

    As for the issue itself, quite well done. Much better from my hideous with the Date Night Ending. Ah, the Elliot Boggs line, a bit redundant with the amount of characters we've had that fell from grace, but 'tis alright. Nothing too bad about a little repetiveness. Then we have worried!Logan looking out dear Rogue. Honestly, why doesn't he just adopt her, already? Tsk, tsk James. Love Rogue's character in this one, the edge, the vivaciousness, and of course, her giving lip to James? Priceless. True Gambitian process there, she picked up our cherie well. As for the Danger Room it, even better. 68's cover should've been used for this issue instead. I'll leave the Boggs/Cyclps interaction out, like I said before, the repitveness can get a little boring.

    Ah, the return of Lorna and Alex. Lovely summoning, and great to see Piotr and Jean-Paul smiling again. Picked up the slack from the previous issue methinks, and far more importance was played. Nice to see the brotherhood again, but it just doesn't beat the dive bar fight from 68. Mmm, a good bar fight never hurt anyone. :D Overall, nicely executed.

    4/5
