I can’t really get enough of Mystique lately, she’s been in several titles and has been some of the best parts in those titles. Here she’s really trying to show just how tough she is, how cold and evil, but you can see it in her words that she wants to believe her rhetoric, but the truth is, she doesn’t. Oh, she’s evil, of course she is, but perhaps not as cold blooded as she lets on. It’s subtle work, maybe even something I’m reading into the dialogue, but it’s there nevertheless.
And of course there is Quire, he hasn’t decided if he’s a good guy or a bad guy. Most likely, he doesn’t care which he falls under. He’s there to help a friend, that’s it. Whether he’ll end up a super hero or a super villain has yet to be determined, but the fact that he cares about someone other than himself is very telling.
As for Paige and Toad… first, what is going on with Paige? She was already a bit out there when she left, but now she’s completely off her rocker. Something happened to her, but what? After all the wonderful characterizations everyone else is getting… surely Aaron didn’t drop the ball with Paige? There is also the way she’s treating Toad… poor Toad… reduced to janitor again like that’s all he’s good at. Toad better get his due by the end of this arc… that’s all I’m asking…
Oh, and there is the Siege Perilous… yeah, that can’t end well.
