    Pretty disappointing as an issue, nothing really happened, ended on a cliffhanger, Kitty was the only one coming up with ideas and even demanded Rachel to make the doctor do something against his will.

    I don't understand Gugg's opinion of them not being superheroes, first Storm tells her parents this now a woman decides that they're not like the great Avengers so she just..pities them?

    This issue was a bit disappointing.

    Likes:

    1. The group image at the end which featured most of the key characters except for Amara, Gambit and Rogue. Why the heck include Ink and Armor instead of those three?

    2. Gugg's love letter to Chris Claremont

    Dislikes:

    1. Why didn't Kitty request Iceman and Pyrostar to join in the fight when they were just in the danger room. Aren't they short of two members?

    2. The new Mutant's life was not resolved at the end. Who is going to pick this up? Why leave all these cliff-hangers at the end of series?

    3. Art and story was just little bit below average.

    Besides let's say he flares up again and Rachel was able to contain all that energy around him from being released. How is a healer supposed to get close enough to touch him without being incinerated themselves?

    I just find it ludicrous that Rachel couldn't restrain the kid with either tP or TK while he's unconscious from a bullet wound. That was just lazy from Guggs, it'd have been better to just let Rachel be unconscious for the the entire issue.
    Rachel is just a punching bag in this book, and well honestly by the whole X-Office. She could have taken care of the whole situation by herself had she been allowed to (by the writer) a la extracting the required medical expertise from the surgeon and doing it herself using TK. In addition to using her TK to remove the bullet and keep his brain and skull intact until help arrived. But the writer chose to have her removed from the fight, once again, to make the "threat" viable(?) while making her look like she can't even handle herself on the field.

    Nope. I think that Rachel is imprisoned, watching everything unfold with Mojo crying at her Rachel-bot get knocked out every issue....

    In all seriousness yes, but clearly she has evolved in her use of powers beyond that, according to this book.

    Glad this book is over, and we can pick up the pieces and move on - together.

    Also, lawyers shouldn't write X-Books.

    Oddly enough, I enjoyed the issue apart from the usual horrible Kitty-centric moments. The art was enjoyable, especially Kirby Krackle Kid. Rest in peace, Kirby Krackle Kid and X-Men Gold.

    Maybe I'm just being generous because this nightmare is finally over, but I think this was one of Gugg's better efforts. He actually kinda tried here. He kinda cleaned up his messes with Kurt/Rachel, Kitty/Piotr, and that bit at the end with the doctor reflecting on their earlier mission was a nice touch. Like I said, this was a waste of 36 issues, but for Guggs, this issue wasn't horrible.

    Thank the Goddess this is finally over. Marvel, please don't do this again....
    Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!

    Can you even say that last bit with a straight face? With Marvel it’s never a question of if they’ll do it again, only when

    I know I'm in the minority but I really liked this last issue. I thought it got to the heart of what the X-Men are about, trying to overcome people's prejudice of mutants. And it was handled realistically in that the team succeeded in changing the opinion of some people but not everyone. And that even the bigots aren't reacting out of simple blind hatred, that they might even have valid reasons for concern, but it's their responses to that concern that are wrong. The cliffhanger ending was perfect, drove home the fact that there are no easy answers. If he had survived, it would have been cliched and even a bit cheesy while his death would have been too much of a downer. Instead it finished on a bittersweet note that was still hopeful. Gugg's has his problems for sure but his writing here was great and the artwork by Perez and Ramos was AWESOME.

    And can't remember whether it was here or in the preview discussion but it's something that really got on my nerves. Someone claimed that the way Kitty's drawn, the design created by Syaf, is anti-Semitic basically because Kitty has short hair and they think it makes her look ugly. Yes, Syaf is an anti-Semite but that doesn't automatically make his design for Kitty anti-Semitic. Personally, I LOVE Kitty's look and I hope they keep it going forward. And I'm saying this as a Jewish woman who just coincidentally also has short hair.

    She's back to her classic look with long hair as of MMX #6, but that may just be the cover

    Because Ink will literally never appear again. Let him have his moment.

    Well, alright. Not the way I would have ended the series

    I guess it's on par with what's been written for the last couple of years. An underwhelming series that had a couple of bright spots but will soon be forgotten.
    Some of us wait, some of us act.
