* congratulations to the great Dylan Horrocks about his new gig -- and a secondary kudos to any students lucky to interact with him. Horrocks is one of my favorite people in comics, and I hope he has a blast.
* the Dark Phoenix story is an odd ending to the this cycle of comics, although I suppose the future/sentinels comics can be argued as the final comics there. I would love to see that group of stories come up with other options for their cycle-ender.
