Well, that woman that we saw last issue . . the one that I said looked like Jean, but . . you know, in a dominatrix outfit? Well it turns out that it's Madelyn Pryor. Or at least someone that looks an awful lot like her. But, I'm going for the simplest solution . . she's not really dead. And it appears that Scott had sex with her this afternoon . . . well . . psychic sex. While he and Emma searched an old warehouse, he thought that Emma decided for a little exciting action, while everyone else was busy. Later on, when they're watching Allison perform at a club . . he sees Madelyn in the distance and realizes that he'd been duped. Well, that and Emma didn't have the same swarmy smile on her face that Scott did. Smells like teen spirit? Anyways, Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker are really pulling out all of the stops with this group right now. They even have Pixie going all primeval on Empath. Somebody had to stop him, and . . she did have her soul dagger ready. I really enjoyed the adventure that they put together here. And they worked, practically, everyone into the story . . Sam, Xian, Dani, Empath, Storm, Logan, Kurt, Warren, Scott & Emma, Hank, Pixie, Allison, Chimera and of course the reintroduction of Madelyn Pryor. And of course Greg Land's artwork speaks for itself. Wow! I also like it that this book and Astonishing is so closely intertwined now. There's enough action in the X-Men universe that they can easily fill 2 books with their x-ploits. And that's just this team. My only question is . . how does Scott attract all of these hot . . HOT!! . . women? Seriously! Jean to Madelyn, back to Jean, back and forth between Jean and Madelyn, back to Jean one last time, on to Emma, and now . . . he's got 2 in the same place looking at him they haven't eaten in 2 weeks and he's a piece of prime-rib. I'm beginning to think his mutant power is making women hot. I love this book!
