    Ha! Fish already received points for favorite debut of 2019 at the X-books award voting. Funny how some instantly become popular.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Wood's 8 issue run. Even though the proto-mutant thing made no sense(there are plenty of fully fledged mutants that predate them by centuries), he wrote a competent and willful Ororo during a time where everyone was riding Scott's d all day. Even if the feud with Piotr was a bit contrived, the feelings came through and the art was crisp. But the all female team run just didn't work. Sure Coipel art is always a treat(but he only did the first arc), but the story was horrible/boring. Rehashing Piotr's insubordination with Rachel made even less sense, and there was no enjoyable emotional arc, so it was all for naught.
    Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!

    Good preview although I didn't like the part where the reader has to guess that the bad guy dropped down from the sky. Geez.

    Huh? You mean in the bit where he drops from the sky?

    While he dropped out/showed up from 'nowhere'...suspension of disbelief would indicate he's either:
    A flyer or A jumper...coming from one of the ships Pyro is attacking....since he landed in the water in front of the children to cut them off.

    This 200 pound bastard falls out of the sky and the water barely splashes AND he's standing upright? Might as well bring back Liefield if you can't pull this off.

    Oh c'mon. It even says Boom! and his voice is coming from above in the previous panel.

    And his name is Paragon...you know...a person or thing viewed as a model of excellence. In this case: strength and durability and who knows what else.

    I guess the sound effect, splash, movement lines and braced pose are kind of subtle. Maybe if they’d got Lord Claremont to write a caption explaining the action and the new character’s powers?

    Google tells me that the Portuguese word for Paragon is Modelo, so I'd like to think he's named after the beer.
