M...Thanks for dropping the X-Men knowledge, Nick. <br /><br />Matt, are you referring to stuff later in the run? I don't remember a Boom Boom appearance, and that sounds like something I would. <br /><br />Jacob, I THINK that might have been the case? Someone "poisoned" a good bear spirit/a bunch of good animal spirits by sticking 'em/it with a magic dagger or something. When they plucked it out, the giant bear turned into a bunch of little white animal spirits. So maybe it was a that bear combined with other spirits or something? <br /><br />I was mainly confused because during its first appearance, a two-page spread from which the image I scanned was the right half, it was drawn so as it looked like a normal-sized bear (it was in the background, with nothing nearby to give it scale) and then in the rest of its appearances it was King Kong sized.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-81266828952885992812011-12-14T06:50:42.783-08:002011-12-14T06:50:42.783-08:00The bear panel looks like this is a callback to th...The bear panel looks like this is a callback to the 80s Demon Bear in New Mutants, complete with imitation Sinkiewicz art.

It was pretty awful all the way through. In answer to a couple wonderings you had:<br /><br />The Vanisher is one of the X-Men's earliest villains (and former leader of the Fallen Angels) but the tats are new. <br /><br />Domino joins the main team for the rest of the book (and Archangel remains a member as well).<br /><br />The wolf guy at the end is the Asgardian Wolf Prince that only ever appeared in a New Mutants special and a X-Men annual back in the 80s (the Asgardian Wars story). Rahne and her fell in love and this serves as a set-up for a bunch of actions wildly inconsistent with Wolfsbane as established even in this book.Nicholas Ahlhelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651416360488414615noreply@blogger.com
