Wrapping up that pesky “Quentin Quire introspection arc”, so we can make room for the HELLFIRE GALA!
Today we’re going to talk more about mutant dupes, the question of memory as it pertains to tinkering with Cerebro Backups… and much, much more!
Great Mailbag, and – since it’s Monday, our fairly brief “This Week in X-Stuffs” segment

I'm starting to wonder if what an issue of X-Force needs for me to enjoy it is for Beast to be absent because I really enjoyed this one. Maybe it's my hatred of the character assassination of Beast that stops me falling for X-Force. Of course Benjamin Percy did have to include the most irritating text page in months just to keep me hating. Why would you put a conversation between your protagonists on a text page? That's not seasoning that's the bloody main course.
I did continue to love Garry Brown's art. I like the horror elements being scratchy and abstract rather than Cassara's realism which sometimes is a little too freaky. Your point about the faces being vague is right but I think that works quite well on a book like X-Force where subtlety is not required. To use one of my Mum's old phrases it is "as subtle as a hang-glider flashing".
