In which William Stryker is exceptionally difficult to kill; the terminology around Emplate’s powers is absolute nonsense even by comic-book standards; inkers deserve more credit; we would totally read comics about Murmur the Softpoken Mummy; Bishop comes to the rescue; and nothing really resolves.

What happened to William Stryker
Gratuitous use of the adjective “genetic”
Emplate (again)
Generation X #12-14
Inks
Penance’s original backstory
Pining
A really unpleasant reunion
Accent problems
Gayle Edgerton
Vincente
Bulwark
D.O.A.
A somewhat chaotic victory
Mutant teams from non-anglophone countries
X-characters Miles would like to write
