This issue is incredibly fun, in part because Aaron does such an amazing job capturing the voices of Beast, Nightcrawler, and Storm that I could actually hear them in my head. My only complaint is that Aaron seems to be having every male X-Man decide that he's always been in love with Storm. She's sleeping with Logan in "Wolverine and the X-Men" and Nightcrawler declares that he's been in love with her essentially since they met. Although I loved the flashback scene showing Nightcrawler convincing her to stay with the X-Men by building her the iconic rooftop-garden, it would be nice if we could just let a male X-Man be a loving friend of a female X-Man. After all, Bendis has also revealed that Beast has secretly been in love with Jean all these years. At this point I'd welcome the revelation that Bobby and Warren have been a couple for years just for a little diversity.
