No way in Hell is this a permanent thing for them. Also, does Percy have a hate boner for Beast or what?
I see Rift's quest is being a success.
As far as I hear, he got Jason Aaron'd.
Maybe that doesn't mean he hates Beast technically, and likes the character to be written this way.
That is something that can happen, a writer liking a specific character and missing the damn point about him/her, it can be worse than actual contempt lol.
Anyways, I burst out laughing at that redesign, it's like an old biker lol.
