Love Colossus in panel 2 - just leapt off the page at me for some reason.

Switching back to Earth is a really neat way to convey how BIG that explosion(?) in space is! And it's always great to see the Muir Island crew.

Nice to see Muir island back to full population. I’m sure everyone is curious about the explosion in space.

More Sean and Moira? Yes, please!
This scene reminds me of the transformation Banshee went through when he was changed from villain to hero. I recall early Banshee being drawn with an almost impossibly long upper lip and gruesome visage. However, by the time he joined the All New, All Different X-Men, he had become a more traditional superhero handsome.

JB, the panel today with the Stratojet in the back ground, did you do the figures first or the background then erase? I cant tell, it so clean.

JB, regarding the stars against a white background. How would you expect those to be handled by the inker or colorist?

I've never been in the biz (as so many readers have not) so I'm not sure what an editor would/could do.••• This is one of the reasons I grumbled when various fan awards started including a best/favorite editor category. Ask a hundred fans and ninety-nine of them would not be able to define an editor’s function. Is this book good because of the editor or despite him/her?

Echoing what Wallace said.
Always a treat to see Sean and Moira.

In my experience, editors are mostly notable when something goes massively wrong--a book ships late, there are huge and obvious typos in the lettering or balloon tails lead to the wrong character, the coloring is off, a double-page spread is split up wrong or the pacing is thrown off by poorly placed ads... the list goes on.
If an editor does a good job, it should be virtually invisible.
Just an opinion. (By a one-time comic book editor.)

Editors, letterers and colorists, and to a slightly lesser extent inkers, should be “invisible”.Ideally, of course, no part of the package should stand out more than the rest. All should be serving the STORY as a seamless whole.

Agree completely. If one part sticks out like a sore thumb, it's usually for bad reasons--but even "good" reasons aren't always good for the book as a whole.
