I’m ready for all this to end. It’s pretty obvious they are rushing to get everything tied up so the timeline is a mess, with glaring plotholes and things that undermine the narrative.
1) Amber shouldn’t hold Nimrod for this long. And we saw him already free last issue, but he just got unstuck here? Wtf. All by the same writer too.
2) The X-Men went from not knowing where Polaris was to now her being privy to the discussions in the tunnels, but then no one bothers to tell her that Firestar is not a traitor before this issue?
3) The flow of them bringing back Manifold felt too abrupt with 0 lead up so the moment just doesnt land. Besides Synch could have just copied his powers and we have seen him copy Magik’s powers so there’s still plenty of teleporting that could be done if they need to.
4) The coffee cup is so overplayed. It kills any sense of urgency when a character has time to go get some coffee and complain about it.
Overall this issue somehow managed to turn me off this series more than the 1st.
