And the Student Becomes the Convinced
Yes, slightly better than the last issue. Cable's charges are starting to fight smarter. Stealth has its upsides. Subterfuge is no longer a foreign word. It's nice to see the young ones held back, but this time it's not by their leaders saying they are too young. It's by stratagem and good form. Especially nice is Sam taking control of one of the groups, a role he'll get to explore even more later. (Yeah, he's been the leader for a while, but where exactly has that got them?)
This issue has all the other era problems that I've discussed in past issues (Simonson's writing, too much fighting - not enough character development) so I'll just discuss one hole that annoyed me. Cannonball is strung up by his arms. How in all the fetch did he A) know about a pocket in the Dragoness's headgear and B) how did his hand manage to get to it. Yes, strung up, but was the pocket really in that pointy part?
Anyway. The book is progressing slowly, but I do like the application of lessons the New Mutants have learned.
