GMing tonight, so no time for a full synopsis this month. Discussion points, though:
- It's pretty much stated that the Death Seed is responsible for Daken's relapse into nihilistic villainy, but the resolution is kind of an anti-climax. Bobby freezes it, and Daken exits stage left.
- Despite what Bobby initially thinks, Daken didn't kill Judah when he snikted him. I find that interesting because, bluntly, Daken's had a lot of experience murdering people. If he'd wanted to one-shot Judah, he darn well knew how to do it.
- The issue really did feel a bit rushed. I'd have rathered those pages dedicated to the various students been used for more focus on Bobby.
- Judah decides he can't deal with Bobby's life (especially with the guy who stabbed him still out there). He an Bobby break up. Realistic reaction and I feel bad for Bobby, but I feel like it's for the best narratively.
- Kitty actually shows a glimmer of self-awareness and realizes that she didn't do much to support Bobby as a friend or in her capacity as leader of the X-Men. She agrees that he was underutilized, and offers to let him pick his own team to lead.
And now we've just got one issue left. Thoughts?
