This is something that's bugged me since I read these when they originally came out- would you pronounce genegineer as "JEAN-jeneer" or "JEN-ehjineer"?

I've always used "Gene"-gineer, since he engineers genes, and "Gen"-gineer didn't sound right to me since there's not enough of "genetic" in there to make it a smooth portmanteau.

Jim Lee surely does like his crosshatching on people's faces, doesn't he? I think it's one reason I've never warmed to his work.

His skill and talent are undeniable of course, but everything is just so.... busy that it becomes... ugly to me, I'm not drawn in, I'm forced out.

"That Scottish woman isn't herself."
"How can you tell?"
"I abducted her adopted daughter, and she only violently threatened to kill me, instead of actually killing me."
"I was wondering why our horrible, fascistic hellhole of a nation was still standing..."

(Good thing Magneto's busy in the Savage Land, because I doubt he'd take too well to Rahne being abducted either.)

It was also a hint at the ongoing corruption Moira was experiencing under the mental influence of the Shadow King.

That cover is such an indecipherable mess I don't even want to click.
