Yeah, Magneto's death was kinda funny. It was so....irreverent. And the great thing is, he'll probably remain dead for the duration of Grant's run (his death being symbolic of the death of the old and the ushering in of the new). And then some twat'll start on the title and resurrect him, but that'll be okay because now we have "super consistency" and can understand the changeover to the new writer as a "jump" from one quantum eigenstate to another, etc. blah......
Oh, and I've only just noticed: evil shadow clenching its fist around Jean, making her go "Auuuuu".
And Ellis asks:
quote: But what happened to the giant Sentinel??
Well, the Mothra and Godzilla "Mega Sentinel Jets" appear to be inactive now that they've fulfilled their purpose.
"....For fear of activating the two remaining robot monsters, both currently dormant......"
"...No one has claimed responsibility, and the sentinels are of an unknown unmarked design..."
And finally: I love the little chat between Cyk and Phoenix. A lesser writer would have Scott, fists clenched, tears streaming from his eyes, shouting - jagged speech bubble stylee - about how he,
"...can't stand it! Noooo! My mind, tis aflame!"
etc.
Grant goes for the subtle approach. The frozen, traumatised individual unable to convey his feelings; seriously involved in the process of renegotiating his life/beliefs. He's aware that he can depend only on himself - 100% alone, inspite of the "bond that will never break" between his wife and himself.
Fab.
