Jean Grey in the words of Walt Whitman, from his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" (51 and 52):
"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you."
Long live Synch! Great showing for Cyclops too. Great issue but I'm still not into the way Duggan writes Laura. The only line that rung true was "Do your own killing" or whatever she said to Stasis.
"Danielle... I intend to do something rash and violent." - Betsy Braddock
Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
It was rather nice.
Of course if you're a cynical little pos like me it becomes hilarious if you think the only reason she is doing it is because she realized she needs to do something to pretend the protocols exist
"Oh, Scott's dead. Well, I'll see him tomorrow I guess. Oh wait, the flatscans don't know about the protocols! Laura, you need to act grieved! Uh....what if I put my hand on his body? Will that work...I think it's working."
Part of what made cyclops come off bad too, is that instead of confronting the council then and there, he instead sulks in the background like he's plotting revenge on them because they hurt his feelings.
Also, couldn't his death had been more dramatic? He got stabbed? He always goes out badly. In Death of X too.
Hey I wanted death by Stilt-man but this is what we got instead.
And to be fair would you want to confront the council ruling your nation when they have no constraints, multiple telepaths, a greedy, capitalist businessperson (And Sebastian Shaw), and someone who has spent their entire life screwing with you (And Mr. Sinister!)
I just realized, from the latest Black panther comic, wiping Urich's mind is likely even more pointless.
It also echoes that they got kinda close back when his teen self was around - and I'm not referring to the aborted dating tease. Scott seemed to know what was bothering her before her boyfriend did, and took steps to find her a constructive way to work out her issues (OK, it was pointing her at people she could get angry at and make the world a better place by unleashing, but he was honest about that part at least). But Edgelord Warren was messing that up too for most of the issue.
Dark does not mean deep.
