Here we see a small downside of this serialized form. In this scene, as always, I made sure everyone was properly identified before we cut away to something else--but that identification happened on the SECOND page of the scene, as you can see in what I posted today. Reading this in a comic, you'd only have had to wait a few seconds to be sure who was being attacked. Here, a day. (And now we are about to begin a sequence of three pages, starting tomorrow, with no X-Men at all!) ************************************************************ ******************** Well I had no problem deducing that the 2 characters were Lorna and Alex, specially when last panel we have the Sentinel screaming "Surrender Mutants". At the time (early 80s), how many mutant couples we had in the Marvel Universe? Also if this was colored, a green-haired female mutant should be immediately identified as Polaris and so, his blond-haired boy would be automatically identified as Havok for anybody with a basic knowledge of the X-Men. Well we may get three pages with no X-Men at all but with Sentinels around, there are plenty of other mutants that can appear in the sequence! Perhaps one of the 3 pages is one of the pages already seen and yet not released in this post? About last panel, any motive to not use the typical concentric circle pattern for Havok's powers?
