          My bad. I mistook "copy" for "inferior." Assumed Phoenix did that in order to leave something out.

          Oh, it/she was leaving something out... but Jean had other ideas.

          JB: In this version, the Phoenix is not corrupted. It/she is ancient evil.

 JB, is the texture around the Shi'ar spacecraft in the last panel done with an electric eraser?

          Everything about today's page is so cinematic.  It moves the story quickly and efficiently, but the small details carry the day, adding to the mood.

 For instance, I like the posture of the chastised alien technician in the upper right panel (looking sideways through half-closed eyes!), and how Lilandra's (leopard spot!) cloak drags in the middle panel as she walks away.  Even the Lilandra head shot is simple, yet striking.
 
 So enjoyable each day to see what gets revealed.  So rare too, not to be able to anticipate the plot.

          This is the same Lilandra that put Reed Richards on trial.
