I still think the delightful surprise the last issue nonetheless was, that Morrison had taken it upon himself to also draw, ink, letter, edit and personally handcolor every single produced copy with crayons, he should have waited a few more issues because I can still sport the occasional rigidness in his poses, although it, arguably, enhances the fisting scene.
While I'm still on that topic, he sure had us fooled on the whole "brand-new pacifist direction," didn't he?
But his attention to detail is exemplary, did anyone else notice the Hausfrau's pubes making out the phoenix symbol? Or the background detail in the panel immediately following the Neanderthals-mating-with-Aliens flashback sequence? I took it as a confirmation of the Newsharwarma rumours: Morrison, Millar and Brian May writing The Amazing Beak, Barnell: Beak and Freshlaid Eggs: Beak. Look closer, just underneath the 5 men seemingly masturbating: Beak is devouring a customed character who resembles Spider-man to a tee. I think the 5 men were the Backstreet Boys as a nonsensical hint to Barnell: Beak. Classy.
This is a great year for us: we will get 7 more Morrison produced NXM, barring the "Going Bananas" August month, where chimps will be provided paint and paper, that the writer has to write a script to.
My other favourite dialogue: "I suppose I maintain an icy facade," the White Queen in therapy to get in touch with her feminine side.
