I like most of your list the best but Tom Raney. Ugh he ruined UXM with his art. It was like a generic X-men coloring book you can get at the Dollar Store. I couldn't enjoy Psylocke's return because of his art as well as CC's long winded story.

Yeah, X-23 was enamoured with Psylocke and was mirroring her throughout those issues. It was a plot point.

The fact that you have Cassaday tied with Land is heresy enough to call for you to be hung by your bowels.
