The “Madrox is dead” issue.
Havok, taking on his brother Cyclop’s guilty conscience, holds himself responsible–so he mopes around town and then quits X-Factor. Storm makes flowers grow, sits with Lorna, and makes out with Forge. Rahne and Strong Guy are sad but go sledding. Everyone grieves in their own ways.
Yes, it’s gloomy and depressing, but I like these downtime issues–especially in the steroidal ’90s–because we get to see each character have a moment or two.
