The whole aspect that cured the rest of them was weird though, as was Ms Marvel suddenly turning into Binary.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens after this. Next up is an annual featuring the return of Dracula, which was a pretty enjoyable, albeit weird, issue, and God Loves Man Kills, which I have heard is absolutely fantastic.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the issue with Rogue in the Pentagon. That was well done too although Rogue's hairstyle is horrifying. Was she trying to cosplay as Wolverine?

Man, now I really wish the animated series had actually done the real Brood and not those giant green cockroaches they did. What the hell were they thinking?

Glad you liked it. Now, the rest of the first half of Claremont's run (up to the point the crossovers start) don't contain any stories that are epic as what already came before this, the Brood Saga being in my mind the last epic story arc until those crossovers hit. However, you will find a TON of great stories with a lot of character development, even if they begin to meander slightly with mini-arcs. Not to say it's bad in any way, just not as good as UXM #94-167. Of course that's just my opinion, your milage may vary.
