The X-Factor stuff is *dreadful*! I cannot believe that they have managed to revert characterizations to early Kirby--the Beast hasn't spoken like that for years now. I thought he had gotten his act together in between his mini-series (tales to astonish?), and his appearance in the Avengers a while back (a long while back). And why is Scott portrayed as such a flaming Bozo? Are we back to the days of ("oh, I love Jean so much, but I don't know how to tell her") {thoughts inside of ()} garbage. Scott has been portrayed as indecisive before, but not *this* bad!! And he *knows* he is being cruel to Maddy- he may have been a wimp before, but cruelty was not one of his traits And what are they going to do with all these mutants, once they have them? Are they going to send them to Warren Worthington's Arizona Ranch for Wayward Mutants? And you know, sooner or later, the current X-Men are going to get wind of this, and we're going to have the *lovely* crossover. In fact, I wouldn't doubt seeing them crossing over into every front-line book that Marvel has in the next year (sort of a permanent Secret Bores). I'm disgusted...
