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...
