In this issue of the Canadian super-team's set-up, we see that it is still a book more concerned with superhero soap opera instead of good guys versus bad guys as the writer, John Byrne continues to give us loads and loads on how each of the characters move on with their lives post-Guardian and the guy has been offed since issue 12!Is it entertaining?
For me, yes! And this is me speaking not just because I am a huge fan of Byrne's X-Men and FF but rather this particular series itself. I admit the cover is kind of weak but it serves to tell us of the many splinters and threads of storylines this issue contains
On the left, we see Heather standing in front of a mirror posing with the outer suit of her husband's uniform. Will she don and lead the team? Willl she don it with the armor thus giving her power or be just a motivational leader on the ground whenever the team is off on adventures? And will the team accept her as their new leader just because she was Guardian's wife?
On the top, we see Snowbird and her human lover/ husband ... and as the caption reads ... the two of them needs to make a decision ... what is that decision? Will she stay with the team? Will she stay with her human lover? Will she ... well, you get the picture
And finally as this is still a superhero comic, the bottom right panel addresses this as Shaman sensing something is wrong somewhere goes off to investigate only to encounter yet another powerful magical entity coming out into our world and this entity is far more powerful than even Shaman can ever suspect. Will he be able to counter such nastiness on his own?
