I enjoyed reading the four different stories in this issue. First we have Armor finally confronting Damage about her friend Wing. It's a good thing that Damage can take a beating because Armor certainly doesn't pull her punches in this one. It was good to see Armor in action. She's become much more adept at her powers. And I enjoyed the theme of the story . . discovering that Damage actually does have emotions. Therefore she actually is a mutant. A mutated machine, but . . a mutant nonetheless. Plus, this thing about Wing has been simmering for a while, so . . it needed to be put to rest. This was brought to us by Chuck Kim and Gabriel Hernandez Walta. In the next story, by Grace Randolph and James Harren, Illyana punishes Victor for . . well, basically for not being very mature. And I guess just not being nice to his friends. She claims that she wasn't trying to punish him. I think that she just thought he needed a 'time-out'. But it's a week long 'time-out' in the middle of the desert. When he comes back, he has a much better appreciation for the 'mundane' activities that have to be performed around the island. It's a 'community', and everyone has to do their part. In the third story we see Jeffries point of view on the whole Diamond 'Lil thing. When she first came to the island he sunk himself back into his work because they hadn't seen, or been together in such a long time. After the course of about a month and a half they eventually work through their mutual frustration and kind of renew their romance. The problem was . . 'And she was dead an hour later. Four days after that, I put her in a glass box. The separation is better for us.' Jeffries just can't seem to catch a break. I thought it was an interesting chapter by Chris Yost and Karl Moline. And finally we get a quirky little story about the New Mutants by Corey Lewis. It was kind of done in an 'Anime', 'cartoonish' type of style. Basically it's about a misunderstanding that occurs when the military and the New Mutants are using the same air-space to run maneuvers and team practice. I thought it was interesting. A little strange, but . . interesting nonetheless. All in all I really enjoy this book, and the look into some of the 'smaller' characters that don't always get much of the spotlight. I think it's a good outlet for these stories.
