It looks like Chris Claremont is getting back in to the fold of things again. He's come back to script this series also, as well as Exiles. Which is kind of convenient since Nocturne is, or was, on both teams. Also Scot Eaton takes over as regular penciller this issue, and it couldn't have looked better. We start out with the team breaking up a bank robbery, but in the process Allison get's shot. This is the third time she's died and come back to life. What's up with that? That's what every one else wants to know too. Well, everyone except Allison, " . . I pretty much thought this was my new schtick." But everyone, including her doctor, makes her go to the hospital to get checked out. They can't find anything wrong with her, but when the rest of the team come to take her home, Nocturne collapses. We don't really find out what happened to her, this issue, but the doctor's best guess is a stroke. And all indicators would point to that, as when she awakens she can move her left leg and arm, but not her right. Also her speech is severely garbled when she tries to talk. So, everything is pointing at that, but we won't know until next issue. I'm not sure if they're really going to change her character, or if they're just using this to show us all her back story and fill in all the new readers on her character. But if that's the case, this is kind of a mean way to do it. So I'm thinking that Chris is going to shake things up a little bit. And there's nothing wrong with that. I really love my comics, but I hate it when a title gets so in to a rut that you just get the same thing recycled month after month after month. And I really don't expect that from Chris. With the new creative team, I can see this book being at the top of everyone's list, real soon.
