    Well out side of the fact new xmen are all going to be killed for shock value(really worried for x23 now).Cap and the avengers being shone as the hypocritical pieces of crap they always are when mutants are involved and Logan calling his return crap were nice. I'd give it 7.5 or a 8.

    Blindfold gets Fridged, and Loa didn't even get THAT much. Thanks, Marvel!

    Frankly, the first line of the issue was its most honest.

    Why is it only "fRiDgInG" if a female character dies?
    DC, please give Jonah Hex a new solo.

    That is the origin of the trope

    Blame Gail Simone for that.

    Althought, fridging is also used with male characters sometimes, is basically kill or torture someone to give another character angst.

    It isn't. "Fridging" is pointlessly killing a character just to cause another angst. Happens mostly to women, but can happen to men too.

    I liked it. I loved to see both the real Cyclops and Wolverine alive and working together after so long.
    I don't like when the x-men blame the avengers for their problems or Cap and Scott fighting like children tough.

    Why is Jaime with Layla? wasn't that Jaime dead and the current one a totally different character?

    The new Jamie said he was going to visit Layla, so I guess he stuck around to help out, since he kind of had nothing else to do with his life.

    I don't care for the tone and it really does not line up with the annual. It is great the Rosenberg can name drop all sorts of stuff, but it felt like a rehash of so much stuff and nothing moved. Oh, it had some cool moments, and I can't say the writing was weak, but I just can't care for what the writing was trying to do as it came across as more Rosenberg trying out some cool weird cryptic tease twist instead of setting up a story.

    Welcome to the X-Men books, where despite weekly and then double shipping, we need two (two!) Deluxe McCheesy extra mayo-sized $8 issues ($8!) to watch characters who weren't in the holy times of the 90's die as Scott wanders Narnia and encounters The Very British One, The Man Out of Time (and Out of His Franchise), and Logan the Lion. Can the boys grow and sell enough dope to reboot the line? Or will General Calabananalama have them arrested by the fashion police?

    Shoutouts to Blindfold for crossing Playboy shoot off her bucket list before the end. Get it girl.

    Rosenberg is fantastic at setting stuff up, but always stumbles on execution and sticking the landing.

    Also, this comic is $12 where I live after exchange rate and taxes. I can buy an Image trade for the price.
