Body language and anatomy are rigid and weird. Faces are creepy, in an awkward way, with eyes blacked out. Something about Polaris’ head dress was distracting. Hickman is setting characters up for some great moments, but Yu’s work makes it difficult to connect with the characters. Can we get Pepe Larraz or RB Silva back, ASAP, please?
RE: Cyclops / Polaris. Some are saying their exchange hints at possible romance between the two. I don’t see it. I saw it as Cyclops floating that Alex was available. Polaris responding “when the past is the past and I’m not still finding my way in a new land” sounds like she wants to focus on developing an identity that isn’t “Havok’s mentally ill girlfriend.” Hope Hickman makes good on that.
RE: Dr Gregor. I wonder if she somehow got hold of resurrection tech via Mystique, before Mystique went out the airlock? If Xavier leads Mystique on, I could see Mystique leaking the tech in order to bring Destiny back.
