I've...No problemo, it could happen to anybody. I've made a hobby of things like that on my blog! Anyway, what's with the Shi'ar and attaching "Death-" to their names!?<br /><br />"I think our like of Alex comes from our sidekick fetish." Great point. Poor Alex has always seemed like Scott's sidekick, even when Scott was nowhere around! He was always definitely second-fiddle to Scott, so I'll be interested to see how he comes back after his experiences in space moving forward. He's GOT to be more confident by now after everything that's happened to him.<br /><br />I was SHOCKED by D'Ken's appearance! I mean I was of the mindset that he was dead(not comatose or whatever the explanation for his absence was), so when he popped up that was a real OMG!! moment.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4100323219160657522.post-67613730893128666882011-10-25T16:39:30.875-06:002011-10-25T16:39:30.875-06:00Yes, you're totally right. I got my Deaths co...Yes, you're totally right. I got my Deaths confused! I'll have to fix that! Good eye!<br /><br />I think our like of Alex comes from our sidekick fetish.<br /><br />The Secret Order stuff was seriously confusing. As you've probably gathered, I hate those sorts of poorly explained plot devices. It was probably the only remotely disappointing part of this arc for me.<br /><br />I totally did NOT see D'Ken coming at all!JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384937330661711685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4100323219160657522.post-32390465255444972182011-10-25T10:14:25.344-06:002011-10-25T10:14:25.344-06:00Hey JW, as always, I'm enjoying this trip back...Hey JW, as always, I'm enjoying this trip back to the not-so-distant past. I do have one question though... Wasn't it Deathbird who was freed with Vulcan, as opposed to the former Avenger Deathcry? I mean I very well COULD be wrong, I haven't read this series since it came out however long ago that was, but I could have sworn it was Deathbird, Lilandra's sister, not Deathcry, Lilandra's more distant family member. But again, I very well could be(and probably am wrong!), so if I am, just tell me to shut up! :P<br /><br />I remember REALLY enjoying the way Havok was written as we moved towards the endgame, he's always been a favorite of mine, seeing as that he was always seen(unfairly) as the lesser Summers brother. As for the Secret Order stuff? I don't remember being overly fond of that. Weird alien conspiracies are a bit out of my depth. But man do things really pick up as we begin to reach the climax of this story. It's like once D'Ken shows up things REALLY begin to move towards the finale. Great work with the post as usual.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.com
