I was eleven, and absurdly happy for at least a week. <BR/><BR/>Also, I never actually lost the missiles. Wolverine's mask/ring doohickey however was long gone shortly after leaving the package. <BR/><BR/>Also, I always liked the archangel wings better than the regular feather ones... but then again, that's how I was introduced into the character. <BR/><BR/>As for the book itself, I feel like Yost and Kyle are falling into the same trap they did with New X-men... confusing heightening dramatic tension with heightening the violence/body count.Josh Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758295720466754777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-61537672418308157452008-06-15T23:22:00.000-04:002008-06-15T23:22:00.000-04:00"I always thought he was far more interesting -- a..."I always thought he was far more interesting -- and heck, marketable -- as Archangel than the plain old vanilla version."<BR/><BR/>It was in fact Jon Bogdanove's depiction of Archangel on the cover of...X-Factor 53? 54? Blood red cover with Archangel looking all vampirish? That was the image that made me start reading X-Men when I was but a young teen.
