Well, got my Ultimate X-Men comic through the post this morning (yay, subscription!), and I've just finished reading through for the first time.
(Not to worry, no spoilers!)
Anyway, I'm just going to nitpick: is mesh (and it's not even that tight-knitted) appropriate for fighting in? I mean, Storm's in battle wearing what acquaints to basically a bra and string- not the most practical of things, because it wouldn't protect her skin at all- plus (from personal experience) if she gets caught on something, it's going to be hell to detach herself without breaking a piece of the material. Then again, I suppose this is a comic, so disbelief should be suspended somewhat.
Eh. I'm awful with picking out the most minor things, I suppose. Having grown up with the movies, where they're up to their necks in leather, no doubt with flak layers inside, skimpy latex just seems very, very impractical.
On that note, can Kirkman please increase the average 1-page per comic of Cyclops he's had in the last couple of months? The poor guy's been abandoned again, bless him.
(Ooh, that reminds me, time to get off my behind and post something... holiday = a lot of fic got written).

They are putting off Scott and those who aren't X-Men right now so the all-new-and-all-different team can have some spotlight, even though all this team has to offer so far is everyone being useless and it also turns out that the whole line-up is just for everyone getting their lover on the team when it was supposed to be members 'who are important in the future'.
I'm really buying this title just for the few pages of Scott and Jean.
I haven't really enjoyed this arc at all, but that may be because my favourite characters have been pushed aside. Ah, well. We'll see, I suppose.
