Characterization is Claremont's weakest suit: endless reiteration of characters telling each other what their powers are, and dialogue interchangeable, everyone uses the same syntax and word choices: check for use of "butcher" and "beastie." also repetitious nonsense where they say the same thing multiple ways. Yeah, it's bad. And Rogue's Southern dialect reads like it was written by a northerner born in the UK. Oh wait, it was.Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-41185651048110968532010-06-24T16:44:18.288-04:002010-06-24T16:44:18.288-04:00I couldn't believe Paul Smith only drew 11 iss...I couldn't believe Paul Smith only drew 11 issues!
