art- 7/10

story - 3/10

here's my take on the Recently concluded Dark Rachel Saga.

I didn't like it. it ended so badly the only good thing about it is the artwork. I also realised that kurt and rachel are now wearing the same colors on the costumes. Also, this puts to rest the debate that storm can stand the psychic attacks of rachel because of her electric powers running around her brain. stormcatcher powered storm was easily taken down by a psychic attack. well, it was a supposed character develoment for rachel, just done without taste.

storm fans, don't worry, the next arc will be about her.

@darthphoenix: Well,scott survived it.Maybe because of the concussive force running around his brain.

@mrnihal: we couldnt really tell, maybe rachel was still somehow holding back the attacks. lets wait for the next issue if the vagueness of this issue will still be addressed

Psylocke got taken out rather easily as well.

This is Guggs though, so we have to take that into account with these power showings.

I'm waiting for the Storm arc. :)

Oh and about that Asgardian Storm dying, it's not 616 so I'm fine with it. Mr Guggenheim prolly did it since he'll be making Storm awesome on the next two issues.

How does this issue prove anything?

Rachel's being easily manipulated but she can one shot Psylocke, Storm and Magik? But young Cyclops is fine? Yeah no, this doesn't prove anything other than Guggs being a terrible writer.

lol i didnt like it.........the only gold book i ever bought was gold 30 the wedding LOL

i read it on youtube, so i stay current with the x-men(gold is supposed to be athe main x-book/kitty solo)

I'm guessing this also puts to rest the debate that Storm can't deal with a Mark 1 sentinel without the hammer either...

This also settles the debate that the Mesmero manipulation was bull because she expelled him rather quickly after a rousing pep talk from Scott. Cause he came from absolutely nowhere, yet Jean is nowhere to be seen.

I think we can all agree that Marc Guggensh!t should never be allowed near anything X related again.

I disagree. Mr Guggenheim actually made his xmen run awesome.

well, rachel used tp on storm, psylocke , armor, magik and kurt. that's why they got stunned easily, the attack on scott was tk that's why he was able to get up faster than those who got attacked by tp

Why so?How so?
