What crap. Cockrum's pencils were waaaay too fat and scratchy(certainly in comparison to Byrne/Austin) and I couldn't have been a more disappointed 14 year old when I saw that terribly drawn cover with Dr. Doom. I left comics for about 30 years after that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-2323670893637172382014-09-17T09:57:34.246-04:002014-09-17T09:57:34.246-04:00"a bog of soap opera angst", now you'..."a bog of soap opera angst", now you're talking my language! I not only was buying and reading this run, but I was scanning my X-Men collection when my scanner what KERANG KURFLUNK BAHTUWEEEE!!!! As I look at my scans, I did not have 150 or 155 (the next issue) but I did have all the others. <br /><br />I do think that Cockrum's women had too much hair. His renderings of Jean, from back in the day, could be Carol or Ororo in this issue. Which was Fan's point! Is that a new couch?<br /><br />Anyhoo, that's not why I called. I have a few more issues of Marvel Age to get through and then I start on Avengers West Coast. Don't tell me how it ends!!!!<br /><br />The Prowler (remember when you would smell your test paper before you took the test).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-50404507124849225932014-09-17T09:05:32.724-04:002014-09-17T09:05:32.724-04:00I'm afraid, Comicsfan, we have to disagree on ...I'm afraid, Comicsfan, we have to disagree on this. Initially, the return of Cockrum jolted me as it did you. My interest in the X-Men had been wavering and I perked up at this development. For me, however, it turned out to be too little, too late. I dropped the comic and never saw anything in all these subsequent years to interest me again. I'm making no claim at prescience at the time, but reading these snippets of pages you supply today, the story reeks of Claremont's descent into a bog of soap opera angst.<br /><br />Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.ca/author_site.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-42756606109210389692014-09-17T06:54:34.911-04:002014-09-17T06:54:34.911-04:00Well, George, as well as Carol being lost in thoug...Well, George, as well as Carol being lost in thought, it could be that Logan didn't actually light up until she turned around.
