I'm completely confused about the relationship between Bobby and Raven. Is it Love? Is it Hate? Is it a little bit of both? I think Bobby does a great job of psycho-analyzing her though this issue. He really puts it all on the table for her, and he makes a lot of good points. Who knew the boy had it in him? By the end of the observation, you almost feel sorry for our favorite shape-shifter. Well . . the favorite one you love to hate. Apparently she really was trying to make him stronger. "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.", and all that. But, we don't really know what. Is she preparing him for something, or does she just know something that we don't? That information is going to have to wait though, because rather than confront Bobby, or even really talk to him, she jumps off the San Francisco bridge into the bay. Mike Carey and Michael Ryan brought us this chapter of the book. It was interesting. I just wish I knew what she was really up to. Anyways, in the second story, Peter, Kurt and Logan pay a visit to a mutant who was a villain, but is trying to stay on the straight and narrow . . Dominic, Avalanche. Basically they just want him to know that they're watching and to make sure he doesn't stray off of his new path. But in the process, I think they kind of piss him off. This one was by Frank Tieri and Ben Oliver. Ben's artwork looks fantastic. And the final story is about Dazzler. She's busted, broke and all but given up on her career, so . . she's on her way to San Francisco to rejoin the X-Men. That's what she always seems to do when her other options aren't working out the way she planned. Anyways, she's on this flight, there's a situation and she ends up using her singing skills to talk this guy down. Actually, it was kind of moving. So she gets a little hope out of it, and she decides to give her career another chance on the West Coast. I like Dazzler. I'm glad she's back. I just wish she's quit using the X-Men only when she has no other options. But . . that's what family is for. Right? Anyways, this was by Kieron Gillen and Saba Pichelli. Overall, it was an enjoyable book, and series, but Bobby's story was by far the best. I only finished it though because I already started it. From now on I'm not buying any of the Marvel mini-series if they're going to continue to be $3.99 an issue. I passes up on the Sabretooth origin book today for that very reason. I know it's not going to make much of a difference, but . . we have to take a stand wherever we feel we have to.
