    The Good I really liked this issue. I think the dialogue between the characters was spot on and the issue offered some good laughs from Namor and Hope. Emma's one liner at the end was pretty good too. It tied most of the missing pieces of the arc together. My favorite part of the issue was it had a feel good air about it IMO, aside from the Colossus scene and the ending. The X-Men on Cyclops' side desperately needed a break from all the doom and gloom. I'm really liking Gillen's writing, he's making all the characters likable in some way or the other and writing some of the characters how they should be. Scott is shedding some of his callousness, Namor was actually really funny, Emma's getting back to her old self. I was hesitant at first with Colossonaut, but Gillen is making it work. I just hope he stays on the title after AvX. He's heading them in a good direction and the X-men need it.

    The Bad: Can't say much of anything bad about it. If I had to pick, I'd say it was kind of anti-climactic with the Immortal Man. I was expecting a final showdown from the last issue but it didn't bug me at all.

    Recommended: Yes, the whole arc in of itself was alright and more interesting than anything with the new habitat and it set up for another future villain in the Immortal Man. This issue was the best of the arc and I definitely recommend it.

      So "Tabula Rasa" is finally over. Thank you, Lord! Greg Land's art makes it so hard trying to find anything good in the writing; this arc was not enjoyable at all, and it had such great potential. I think the problem is a combination of the team roster, the art, and the vamping in preparation for "A vs. X"Please check my mini-review of issue #8 here:http://bit.ly/wGyP26Comments and feedback are always welcome!...
