X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Go team! Now that all the newbies have gotten their sea-legs, they managed to pull together and do a pretty good job of fighting off that Sentinel attack.

That’s pretty much all there is to gain from this issue, other than Scott has something of a death wish. He really isn’t all that mentally stable since the Phoenix Five incident. It’s been effecting him in a lot of ways, some more subtle than others, and his resignation to just die and perhaps end a lot of the problems that way is just one more. I hope that we really get some movement and look at this side of him throughout the rest of the series. He went through a lot of trauma, really from the time his powers manifested and his parents died, etc. Stuff like this usually just gets pushed to the side though in favor of whatever the stories needs to do to get to the next big thing, even if that means making him do something completely random again.

Speaking of which, Battle of the Atom is next, a crossover event with several of the books, and something that will probably put him face to face to Jean again. This should be fun… or not… who really knows these days.
