Ok, it seems that we've finally settled on an artist. 2 actually. Renato Arlem does the art, but then Roy Allen Martinez does all the flashbacks. Of the 2 I probably like Roy better, but they seem to work well together. The flow of the story is smooth, and their styles aren't so different that it upsets this. We learn a little more about the Singularity Organization this issue, and their Mr. Tryp. We see a flashback of the time when Jamie was first being recruited to Xavier's, but Mr. Tryp is there trying to recruit him for Singularity. He makes the statement that he thinks Jamie is something other than a mutant. But he doesn't explain much farther than that. He seems to have some kind of power also, because he makes everyone forget he was even there. This issue we also deal with Guido killing Buchanan from the Singularity Organization last issue. It appears that somehow Mr. Tryp programmed Guido with a trigger phrase to get him to do his bidding. That's why he called him on his cell phone. We also find out, through the ensuing battle, that Pietro can take out any mutant just by touching them, as he dispays with Guido. We also see Damion Tryp when he confronts Mrs. Buchanan as she is about to leave her home with all of her husbands papers that she can find. But this one is younger that the one who talked to Jamie's parents. And when the team launches a covert op to get into Singularity's headquarters and try to get some info, they run into another Damion Tryp, but this one seems to be about 2 or 300 years old. He says, "I wish to explain to you why you're on the wrong side. . . . .why we're trying to save the future of mankind . . . . and how your activites may well destroy everything. Have a seat. There's water in the fridge if you're thirsty." Kind of an ominous ending. I wish I was like Layla and knew everything.
