Also I think Sauron becoming a pterodactyl is sillier than what they were trying to go for, but also I think this will tie into the Savage Land, somehow. Hence the dinosaurs.

Warren rebranding as "AVENGING Angel" every time he wants to be rebellious is corny. Let's admit what this is really about: you don't like the costume Jean made you.

We do catch up with Mastermind. He's just hangin with Blob and Unus.

Btw I wonder what mastermind's up to during this time. He's the only founding member of the brotherhood to not be back. He with the hellfire club already?

Changeling is noted not being with other mutants, which probably means they had Chuck's return planned by now.

Which makes them sound like respected and valued members of society. Wish he said something like "I knew it was only a matter of time before one of you snapped!"

They did not explain.

The death fake out does serve a bit of a purpose. Cops hunting cyclops for murder helps set up humanity distrusting mutants, though ironically it also does the opposite because the cops at the scene say "never thought I'd see the day I'd have to bring in an X-Man."

So... they ever going to explain how Living Pharaoh faked his death and pinned it on Scott?

I found Havok's introduction a bit underwhelming but I appreciate they're keeping the momentum going after Polaris, trying to expand their roster and the scope of their world.

Okay. Addressed in part 2. He blames the X-Men. Shocker.

The story talks about the X-Men's fight with the sentinels like it was an isolated skirmish that could easily be misinterpreted if you weren't there. Rather than nation wide, widely publicized robot overlord martial law.

This issue also went a long way to reestablishing the mutants as outcasts. I feel like they hadn't leaned into that, outside flashbacks, for years.

The story does, also, kindly ask that you please forget the sentinels betrayed humanity live on television, and mass subjugated them.

Ngl I wish Alex knew Cyclops was Scott from the start. It might've hit harder if he knew he was carrying this burden his entire life but didn't truly understand it until now.

Cyclops calls Egyptian sentries "camel jockeys" maybe that's the reason for the disclaimer.

I can see why they established in the opening that Lorna's powers are on the fritz because otherwise... *crushed soda can noises*

No offense to Kirby but his sentinels definitely didn't carry the same imposing nature as Adams'.

Neal Adams was the right artist to bring back the sentinels. Crushed it, basically cultivated the vibe that they'd maintain from here on out.

I like that she just pals around in the suit.

Honestly? If I had a super suit I'd do the same.

I think that, since his first run on X-Men, Roy Thomas learned to let the artist help tell the story, more. And part of that probably has to do with the cultural shift in the comics industry, too, but i do sincerely think he got better at writing.
