![]() ![]() Seriously though, the fact that every mention of faith within this series has been offensively negative (from constantly referring to Kurt as a ‘God botherer’ (*waves hand the entire plot of Nightcrawlers and Legion of X*) is deeply problematic. This issue provided resolution by tying off the themes whose strands had been drawn far too tight, and while it was a bit disconcerting to hear Nightcrawler, of all people, say that Hope is ‘stronger’ than faith, it functioned reasonably well as a story. The fact that both books were, ultimately, nothing but set up for the coming event does little to redeem the fact that the writing, until this issue, was less than great. Si Spurrier is better at endings than he is at beginnings or middles, and in consequence, this issue was stronger than anything in either Nightcrawlers or Legion of X. ![]()
