Missed this post the first time around. Great point! I never considered that before.

I would respond, "Take away the splashy art, and you're left with crummy scripts." Having said that, I think the Nicieza/Lobdell era got off to a great start with X-Cutioner's Song. But I think the franchise jumped the shark a second time when Cable turned out to be alive.

The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."
