This was GREAT, and then Joss Whendon had to $%^& it up
Ok. this, in my opinion was the BEST X-Men story in the past ten years. Colossus, died, and yes while the death of any comic character is "tragic" in the world they exist in, This was the Way Peter was Supposed to die. Not in combat as a Warrior, but as a brother, and a man who loved his people.
HE sacrificed himself to ensure the mutant race would not have to suffer the way his Snowflake suffered,
And then you have Joss and Astonishing, who comes along and in one stroke, Erases the Best Story in the past decade for the X-men
Way to go Joss.
