Spider legs should have just been astral form he liked to use. Out of the astral form I feel like he should have normal legs. But thats just me.

It was refreshing to see Monet use her powers in combat and not the Penance form, but besides that I'm underwhelmed by her role in this event. She hardly got any lines, and with her being unconscious and all these psychics showing up I don't think she'll get to do much next issue. It's not a good look shoving the only woman of color in this cast into the background...

You have no idea how much this saddens me, I was only planning on reading for Monet.

M will probably shift to her Penance form to avoid any more psychic draining, talk some smack, and slice up some zomutants and plaliens.

...the writers were pretty clearly trying to keep getting bigger and more chaotic and it's not as entertaining as they think it is.

The gist for me. Book was OK.

I don't love extremely timely slang in comics, either. Rarely works in the moment, and never ages well. Some bits in here were clearly for Twitter. But, that's a separate topic.

Very curious seeing Amahl Farouk at the end. I hope we see him get some juicy pro-mutant/heroic spotlights in the Krakoan age. The spider-legs are unfortunate, but maybe he'll get a new body without them soon.

I didn't like Duggan's characterization of anyone in this story. Magik was cursing way too much, giving me an unfortunate Bendis vibe. Angel was turned into an idiot. How exactly do pheromones cause hallucinations.(not sure why Duggan decided to make the situation comedic?).
The less said about the old b words of Hordeculture the better. Their act is gotten real old, real quick.
The artwork was good, so that's something positive.
