This is an episode I’ve really been waiting for. Like Miles, New Mutants was MY book and MY team. But, this is the first issue that really made me love X-Force. It’s part of why I love Sam and Tabitha so much. I’m so happy to see that you guys loved it as much as I do. Thank you do much.
Stryfe considers the possibility that Holocaust is a hero. I guess he likes to keep an open mind about these things…?
I have so many questions about Threnody’s costume, but at the end of the day, most of them boil down to “WHY?”
I can’t get my head around an American saying “bugger off”. Well done, Miles.
oops, overshot the reply page I was aiming at. Sorry.
Holocaust/Nemesis shows up fairly quickly, he is one of the characters who escapes the AoA. He brings down Avalon (and kills Rusty grrr) when the Acolytes find him in space right after reality resets.
