These annual 'mini-series' are starting to have a pattern, with the family popping to a new place each time, and I'm starting to think that the novelty of a regular cast and location switch is hiding the fact that the actual story is moving at a crawl...

So, Mystique had a twenty-four issue solo series some two decades ago - last time the X-Men ventured into using lower case speech balloons, which soon went away. As with any super-hero, the temptation arises to come up with innovative new uses of their powers to fuel stories, and so she got a lot of tricks over that run...

The final issue of Saga for this year. Bet you're all wondering/worrying what 'horribly grim and sensationalist' things cap off this arc, huh?

Well...
