"Kill this @#$%ing cripple." :lol

Hehe :lol That panel was funny. :lol

Not bad, not bad at all. Loved the sight of Charlie running down Danger in a truck. Although it does bring up the minor nitpick that one of the major plot points of Excalibur was that nothing on Genosha worked, which should include trucks and electircity generators. But then, continuity is still a strange concept to modern Marvel.

Nice to see Charlie actually fighting Danger, too. It would have been really damn easy for Danger to land, just for Chuck to say "Welcome to Genosa. Robot, meet Magneto." Cute, but really damn easy (bad luck on the X-Men's part that Polaris isn't part of the Astonishing cast :p).

Good to see this story winding down. It's well written, but the sentient Danger Room thing still reminds me too much of the sentient Cerebro from a few years back.

the answer may be too obvious for me to see, but if Prof X's legs don't work - how is he driving the truck??
