This was a pretty sad issue. Last issue we saw that Nocturne has a stroke. At least that's what we believe it is so far. Anyways, this whole issue is about her attempt at recovery. It's really sad because she doesn't really know what is happening to her. Also because she was the type of person that was so full of life before, that this situation seems like the exact opposite of her nature. Plus even though she does make some progress with the physical part of it, she still has memory problems. Sage is really trying to push her. In fact she doesn't leave her side the whole time she's in recovery. When she starts to feel a little more like herself, Sage offers to let her possess her body so Nocturne can see that she still has her powers. And she loves it. She didn't realize how much she took life for granted, but in Sage's body she's trying to soak in every piece of it. That is until Sage's body gives out with the same physical ailments as Nocturne's. I guess she takes her physical ailments with her when she body-jumps. Good to know. But, it doesn't make her feel any better. But she is starting to trust those around her. And in order to recover she has to have an unflappable support system, which she does. There's some real tender moments in there between her and Juggy, and her and Captain Britain. And like I said last issue, with Chris Claremont back on board at the creative helm, this book has no limit. I can't wait to see what's in store for these characters.
