Shadow and Flame with Magik

X-Men Gold 11
I was picking up a real Steve Dillon vibe from Lan Medina's art
I like how, even in a more serious story, the humor is there
I like the parallels between Logan and Colossus' fight.
Colossus steels up again
Magik ends the fight
S.I.C.K.L.E.

We get Kologoth's origins
This is also What If Luke Ross Drew Earlier Issues, which is fun
I do not like Kologoth's group's logo, that has to be on purpose, right?!
He's a failed overlord, but might get a second chance#ButFirst . . . MojoVerse & a Blue Crossover pic.twitter.com/MJwCqTical

I like Kitty overruling Teen Jean
I like all of the costume changes
Mayhew/Beredo are an interesting art team
Rachel accidently telling Kurt (and everybody) is fun, & his response.
The art gets stronger as the pages turn

I like how each Team introduction has a giant wide panel, that's a nice touch
Rachel giving Teen Scott a fun hard time
Is Bloodstorm from Mutant X?
poor Teen Jean doesn't quite fill out a Goblin Queen outfit, Madelyne wouldn't let her forget that pic.twitter.com/Du59vvzeDU

Colorist, Beredo, stays for that sweet continuity, that's nice
Fun that Kitty/Rachel take the time to comment on how they weren't there for X-Men 1-3
I miss Kitty's Blue Excalibur look, glad she's back in blue now
is Team 2 dead?!

Mojo is slowly converting NYC to MojoWorld West
Dead X-Men are just in tubes, living in nightmares
Do James & Jean have chemistry or is it too easy of a plot not to explore?
Longshot is helping Kate & crew to get backstage
Beast does magik? pic.twitter.com/ICFsJWKDHk

Feels like one issue too many before the conclusion
Magneto v Apocalypse, always fun
The wrong name gag doesn't make sense nor is it funny (twice)
Kitty finds the Control Room
Nyet v Yet, is funny
Did we need the Magneto/Polaris stuff? Cool to see pic.twitter.com/OyhaCUGaIv

Not a bad crossover, lots of fun art
Lots of fight fight fight in the conclusion
I don't love how Kitty had to be reminded (by Colossus) that Magneto is the reason she's even on Earth.
Did Magneto do something bad since Bendis' Uncanny? He died? pic.twitter.com/CEe97jlEEx

and we're right back where we should be
I like how we get Kitty & Lydia having to keep interacting
Kitty & Piotr bang
Kologoth's forces are here to pick him up
Rachel gets hit hard
Kitty & Kurt are aboard Kologoth's ship as it warps away, so those two are together pic.twitter.com/XPmybxF6VS

Kitty is only on the one page, but what a page!
Kologoth, I can't seem to memorize his name, is from the Negative Zone
Blue Marvel lends the X-Men a space ship, he seems interesting.
Ink is on the team, I forgot about him
Kurt teleports blind, and into a rock!! No! pic.twitter.com/asrzY36hoM
