    I don't understand. Bishop gets thrown into prison, but Jean only gets mind-wiped, even though she was the one who initiated the "crime"? Why the double standard?

    Ok, ok, I guess I'll buy this issue and see what all of the hubbub is about.

    Can't believe nobody's joked about the possibility of Bish getting some action on the side. It's like folks aren't even trying.

    Damn, why did this have to be so good?

    I was really hoping to be able to ignore Age of X-Man altogether - for the sake of my budget, if nothing else - but I'm hooked.

    The answer would be in who's controlling this reality.

    This was a pretty safe issue. Nothing bad to really complain about. Maybe the art being a bit too static. 8.5/10.

    Also they had the six series at the end but no release date. Thanks, JDW.

    I just hope Nate isn't too forgiven. I'm sure he will be, but not too much.


    That would be nice. That guy gets away with way too much.
    Nate Grey is a hero..why do u think he needs to pay? Dr. Doom messed up everything and got rewarded with a fixed face to end that story.

    If Nate Grey is actually in control, he may be protect his pseudo-mom.

    If these guys are brave enough to write commentary about brown folk and law enforcement they will have earned whatever number of dollars I end up spending on the event.

    Hasn't this idea already been played with before? This event seems more fixed on the concept of individuality/love being a basis for rebellion against conformity per 1984.

    Probably been done before, but not recently. Not on-the-nose in the way this Bishop story seems like it might go. Also, telling a story about love doesn't preclude examining prejudice.

    Which Is how a lot of opinionated folks in real life operate- unable to see others’ perspectives based on their experiences.
