It's funny, I absolutely despise Sinister, but he's been hilarious to read in this book. I can't say I really like him....at all. But I love reading him.
Empath seems weirdly uncouth. I remember in old New Mutants issues, he was fairly eloquent as part of his better-than-you condescending arrogance. Not really the kind of person to curse a lot. But maybe he's completely dropped the thin veneer of nobility, and is just rolling around in the trash like the garbage that he is. The attitude is certainly spot-on. I loved Hope telling him to just go out the back. Greycrow will probably have to kill him multiple times for any kind of lesson to stick. (Why is he blond, though? It's a minor thing, but it's driving me nuts.....he's never been blond in the past.)
Greycrow and Nanny are the characters I never expected to like.
Agreed I canīt stand Sinister but heīs hilarious as a protagonist, still donīt see why he chose this time to talk about Lorna and Havok past relationship specially in front of Magneto, in Sinister mind only he can chose romantic partners for Scott and Alex, but the result was quite fun to watch lol, donīt mess with Magnus children Sinister
Nanny, Havok, Greycow and Psylocke were awesome as always and Empath is like 80īs kid omega who you really love to hate. I donīt know if their mission will acomplish something but they add the fun element in the crossover.

There must've been a bit on every page.

Haha, that was a pretty funny read.
The best X book going. I hope we get a long run.
They took a bunch of characters I could care less about, and somehow made it the most fun book of the lot (at least since New Mutants stopped their whacky adventures in space, narrated by Sunspot). Amazing.
I'm still a bit put out how out-of-character/inconsistent people are, though. Empath has changed radically in personality, for instance, and who only knows how Kwannon turned into a telepath, given that the whole point of putting Betsy's brain in her body was to give the Hand a telepath...
From a narrative standpoint, it's actually helpful that so many of the team are surly or uncommunicative in various ways (Greycrow, Wild Child, Kwannon), so that the more dynamic personalities get a chance to chew some scenery. I don't feel like Wild Child, for instance, is getting shortchanged or anything because so much space is devoted to Sinister swanning about, because Wild Child isn't exactly Exposition Lad.
I would like to see Sebastian Shaw take Hellion under his wing. I think those two would get along.
Sinister is a sassy dandy. I like how Exodus doesn't care for him.
Jamie screwing them over should of been a given. He can be a trickster
They didn't literally swap brains, the two bodies were mixed together so that one couldn't be distinguished from the other, leaving neither body as being all Betsy or all Kwannon but a mix of the two...just hope that they don't kill Alex off, then again with how things are right now I doubt that most of the mutants would even notice sadly...
Does anyone else now hear Sinister’s voice as Dr. Frankenfurter!??

Am I the only one who loved Mr. Sinister first, but not anymore? Ever since he clones himself and is more humoristic than a serious threat I dislike reading stories about him. Now at the start of Dawn of X, it seemed he was back being interesting, but now again we see he cloned himself and it's more a joke. I just cannot take him serious as a threat with all this.
