This shouldn’t needed to be said, but you’re under no obligation to acknowledge any of my treatises, in whole or in part, especially if it impedes your production of a podcast that we all know gets a fraction of the audience of your YouTube videos.
As previously mentioned, Scott Lobdell had this habit of tossing off a nice script with good character beats and overall promise before diving into lame multi-parters that managed to string me along for the better part of two years. It might have continued working if the art had held up, but I hated Peterson’s early work so much that I drew a line in the sand at #304 that held. I second-guessed that decision during the year John Romita Jr. returned to the book, but I hated the various subplots and all of the new characters introduced in that time period, and I ultimately had no regrets.
I hate to break it to you, but there’s another epilogue in X-Force #19, in which Cable’s abandoned charges remain at Xavier’s School as he and Cannonball debate the future of that team. I preferred it to the Uncanny epilogue, and certainly the art is better.
