Changed my mind. Bendis is the best thing that happened to the X-Books. I thought this issue was great, but imagine how much better it would have been if he had written it?
Pages 1 - 14
Melody enters the Guthrie Kitchen and talks to Sam
"Is there coffee?"
"Coffee"
"Yeah coffee"
"Is that a thing?"
"The thing?"
"Not THE Thing, A thing"
"The Thing is coffee?"
"No The Thing is rocks, but I want coffee"
"You want coffee? In a cup?"
"Do we have cups? I'd take a mug"
"A mug?"
"Yeah a mug"
Cut to splash page of Jay and Paige saying "Crucible"
Sam "Crucible"
Meldoy "Its a thing"
Sam "A thing it is"
"It a Thing sure is"
"Sure"
"Fine"
"So - you crucible-ing?"
"Is that even a thing?"
"We just said it was a thing?"
"No you said crucible was a thing, but I dont think crucible-ing is a real thing"
Cut to four pages of crowds at the crucible, all checking their watches
Cut back to Guthrie house. Jay is reading the instructions in the coffee
"These instructions are totally a Thing"
"But not *The* Thing?
"No that would be stupid"
End of issue - written in Krakoan "in 47 issues time - Melody decides if she wants sugar in her coffee!!!"
Stay with the book for issue 200 where ITS CRUCIBLE TIME (almost)
