I like Phil Noto's figure work and all the online non printed material I find for him is amazing. But the guy has storytelling problems, just look at the panels in this issue. First of all Wolverine is *jumping* to an unbelievable height, a point from which AoA Iceman to falls faster than both Wolverine and AoA Nightcrawler who are just floating in the air. Now even if I give him the benefit of the doubt; that Nightcrawler teleported to a higher point..(something that can easily be shown via a bamf sfx or some purple smoke) either way what's the point of that extra bit when the very next panel has them standing at area Iceman fell through the roof. Am I reading this wrong?
Yea that confused me too. NC and Iceman 'ported really high, then suddenly Wolverine is diving down at them below roof-level, then they're way in the sky again above the buildings, and then they're standing on the building.
Off-panel 'ports and free falling I'm guessing.

Very considerate/helpful with the reference linking. Thanks
Very cool inside info to personally gain. This issue had good art.
The way they handled the 'porting restrictions made little sense (from how we seen Nightcrawler ability in general) and ruined the drama of not being able to do the despicable deed. Wolverine's sudden 'flying ability' was painful to see too. Surviving another episode of blowing up was cliche corny and would hardly contain the explosion if Bobby's body wouldn't have. Sigh.
With giving up her sorrow emotion (what?! THAT'S what she did?) it will remove one deterrent to keep LUST (which is dyslexic for SLUT) in check.

Who will graciously take OUR sorrow emotion when we have to suffer through another overwrought Betsy performance like this?
Was a pretty good issue, finally the artwork changed to something good! Otherworld arc art was atrocious at best...
I thought it made sense and was pretty neat that Krokwell would want her sorrow, she was jampacked with it by that point.
It's like Ursula wanting Ariel's voice.

AOA Kurt says he can teleport the grenade to AOA Bobby's stomach; how would he do it? His thing is teleporting, not intangibility!
At least Fanto didn't get the real Psylocke in bed! This is about as equal to Hawkeye bedding the Scarlet Witch in that one crazy arc. Very interesting to note that women drop all inhibitions once in a traumatic and uncaring state.
I do think they're gonna kill off Psylocke now and I am not happy about it. Mostly because given what Remender has asked Lowe, I believe that the asian version will die and the british fans will get their british one back as some "new" character. DANG!!!!!!!! So Deadpool and Psylocke will die and then return in their new bodies.
What makes you say he didn't get the real Psylocke in bed?
...Really? I thought Bobby's mutant autonomic systems usually kick in when he's destroyed in some way, and he reverts to snow or steam. Like all those times in other books when he's either been blown up or evaporated. So being shoved into a furnace shouldn't be any different. And it's not like this hasn't been done exclusively by one writer. Lobdell started it in AoA, then Austen, then Carey.

I wouldn't worry about it. Remender has arguably just had the ideal opportunity to bodyswap Psylocke if that was his intention...and has moved past it.
Speaking as a British fan, I don't think we have problems with the body mod thing other than that it's been part of the seemingly endless process of revision that's put the character at a far remove from her original concept. So in that respect, I don't think there's any more desire to see it reversed with us than there is with some american or other non - British fans.
"No way, Jose. Not a chance, Charles Dance."
People are dumb, she won't be going back to her British body..... Really? Because that opportunity has passed numerous times.....
