I stand corrected. :)<br /><br />This is a really damn solid issue, with powerful character moments and a driving momentum, and Madureira's art is captivating and exciting. I especially love Sabertooth's moment of victory, followed by him not realizing he actually lostNoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-67988065836423702732013-08-19T07:46:40.439-05:002013-08-19T07:46:40.439-05:00I'd say Havok's turn to villainy makes sen...I'd say Havok's turn to villainy makes sense given the environment he's been in. Beast also works, though we never get any explanation of how he turned up "on the dark side" to begin with. There aren't too many villains on the side of good (besides Magneto himself, of course, but he's had moments of heroism in the normal continuity so it's already believable)therealphoenixanewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728133971705657561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-56466738864677079802013-08-19T04:15:19.325-05:002013-08-19T04:15:19.325-05:00+JMJ+

That twist is never explored beyond that short glimpse, but I think the acting totally sold it.
