And we’re back. Castle’s still falling, heroes are recapping, it’s all happening. Archangel, being all tough and mean since he got transformed by Apocalypse, thinks they should just leave, but Cyclops won’t…

It is utterly insane to me that this is a 3-issue story. Professor. Power. Is meant to keep Spider-Man and the X-Men at bay for a 3-issue story! Bonkers. Bananas. Other such…
