 |  Aww...no IG humbling! Also saddens me to learn Gladiator has any resistance to mental attack. (Why do I dislike those guys so much? I love to hate Megneto, but THOSE guys! Grrr....)   Still, beautifully drawn and a sensible pressure-release.  I am honestly captivated by ALL the subplots.  Never a dull moments.  Thank you sir.

          Yeah - that last panel. It's remarkable how many characters JB can fit into such a small space

          Man this issue is outstanding. I love the Magneto storyline, can't wait to see the rest of the team come onto the scene!

 18 issues of goodness! You treat us so well Mr Byrne, what a great project. When this started, I thought, what if JB does 4-5 issues, wouldn't that be amazing. Well you blasted past that and knocked our socks off in the process... a heartfelt thanks to you sir! |

          Just did an admittedly quick read through past posts and did not see this mentioned yet...

 Is this Fang’s first appearance since his little run in with Wolverine back during the M’kraan Crystal battle? I get a kick out of his new appendage and like to assume it’s a result of that fight rather than Lilandra’s handiwork.  |

          JB "And speaking of such, just noticed a small bit of surgery necessary on today's page!"

          Philippe, I believe JB is referring the excising of some characters from the panel above the final group shot.

          JB, now that we've seen Wanda use her hex power, did you revisit your exploration of her powers from AVENGERS WEST COAST, just to get reacquainted with what you had done before?

 I always thought that was a great explanation, having Hank Pym walk through what he had learned, and feel later writers would have been wiser to be familiar with it. |

 I truly hate what they've done with Wanda. And now Pietro and Franklin Richards, as well! 
 
 Not enjoying Hickman's X-Men, at all. |

          I feel like Dan Slott is building Franklin up to being a nascent cosmic entity, maybe not on the level of a Galactus or Phoenix but in that category of being.

 |  As of recent issues of Fantastic Four, Franklin has been reclassified as not a mutant... but that leaves open what exactly he is. And Wanda and Pietro were reclassified recently as experiments of the High Evolutionary, not mutants either. So... that's where things stand. |

 I knew someone would use JB's idea sooner or later, but whoever it was chose the wrong characters.
