Strange Adventures And Apparitions #154
The Uncanny X-Men #154
“Reunion”
Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
Synopsis
Cyclops and Storm are busy guarding the X-Mansion, when suddenly a spaceship crashes onto the property. Lovely.
Rolling Commentary
Again, I really think that when the X-Men play sport-type games, “No Powers” should really be a baseline rule.
Page 3. See! Wolverine’s unique approach to, well, everything allows for innovations in team building that you could never think of, Cyclops! You should be nicer to him.
Page 5. I enjoy that Professor Xavier is making fun of his own home security system. So did Magneto just fly off and leave his island undefended or something? Leaving all his toys for Charles to play with?
Page 6. As a side note, I don’t think I’ve mentioned that in Avengers Annual #10 where Carol Danvers lost her powers/memories, the reason she lost them was that they were absorbed by Rogue (who was making her first appearance) In case you don’t know anything about the next 25 years of X-Men history, that will be very important later on (sooner rather than later, really).
Page 9. That must be a pretty big lake they’ve got there.
Page 10. Scott rooted through Corsair’s pockets?
Page 11. Not the mansion again! Can’t we all politely wait ‘til we’re all on the front lawn or something?
Page 13. I know Corsair is being a bit of a jerk, what with the surprise welcome and uncomfortable revelations and bringing killer alien robots to the mansion and all. But I think mostly Scott wanted to punch him for the revelations part.
Page 14. Kitty vandalized the Blackbird? Wow. That’s hilarious.
Page 20. As if almost destroying New York wasn’t bad enough, now they’re going to destroy an oil storage field. Lovely.
Page 22. Oh. Well that’s pleasant, isn’t it?
Post Mortem
And now we begin X-Men: In Spaaaaaaace… (Part 2). I thought about making Dark Phoenix Part 2, but decided against it. The Shi’ar aren’t important until the last issue anyway.
Corsair’s a bit of a jerk, isn’t he? Between him and Charles, all of Scott’s father figures seem to be jerks. No wonder Scott is so uptight.
Man, those alien colony dudes were pretty cool, too. Too bad I don’t think we’ll ever hear from them again. Did Corsair just drive them to the point of extinction, maybe? Like, is that their entire race? Because that would be horrible.
I think Claremont likes destroying the mansion waaaaaay too much. They finished repairing it last freaking issue, and it got busted up just an issue before. Seriously, we just destroyed it again.
And hey! It’s been three issues since the last exclamation point title! Awesome.
