In which some puns are fundamentally visual; Jubilee is a really good kid; Bastion is a bad person but a good villain; Bachalo does Romita; Seagulls are assholes (but reasonably good narrators); Skin has no time for fantasies; Hitch does Cockrum; and Operation Zero Tolerance (unofficially) begins (again).

  • Event build-up
  • Generation X #26-28
  • Bad times on a raft
  • Valuable lessons from the Xavier School

  • A good conversation
