scans_dailyNewsarama have a preview for SA #26
Beast has a nightmare about Jean's original Dark Phoenix rampage, and being a nightmare it ends badly... They mention (annoyingly) that the original aim of the Phoenix was to burn things on a cosmic scale... so much for the "Avatar of Life", but I think we know that ship has sailed thanks to this ruddy crossover.
At least Brian is defending Rachel's time as the Phoenix. Beast defending Jean is in character, but given that she DID go Dark Phoenix and Rachel never did, I'm not sure that his POV has much going for it.
And then in another WTF moment.... Thor walks in... or rather reels, along with Valkyrie.
Now Thor doing a bit of carousing I can sort of see, and I know Norse legend tends towards the fatalistic, but even so... this seems most unlike him. He's faced down Ragnarok, he'd be girding his lois, not drowning his sorrows.
Though I like Brian acknowledging that him getting drunk is never a good idea.
Interesting art style here, a pleasant change from the norm.

Date: 2012-04-22 06:01 pm (UTC)...is Beast no longer the blue lion-ish beast anymore? I know his look is inconsistent between artists, but I've seen his human-ish features pop up more frequently as of late.
That said, I really do like the art here. It is detailed, and Thor looks rather Nordic. Which is nice.
