Once he lands he proposes to her after realizing she is the love of his life.
The Good
It was a surprisingly enjoyable read. Slow paced some may say but I think it was perfectly paced. The past few issues have foreshadowed this proposal and it just feels right.
I’ve been shipping Forge/Storm for years since Jean botched their engagement but this….this works for me. I like it. It was also fascinating to see how hudlin took Panther and even storm and wove them into modern mythos like Malcom X etc. It was damn near refreshing. A very enjoyable read, it also got me thinking I must read that Storm limited series to get the juicy details of his first encounter :)
The bad
Nitpickers will have lots to complain about
The Ugly
