I can also appreciate the beauty of Jean's face in that first panel (even though she's getting clocked!). Its gotta be the eyes - or maybe its the movement of her hair.

Eh.. that Jean pic is alright... };-> Actually, yes, it *is* very well done. However, as there are a great many beautiful drawings of Ms. Grey from JB to choose from, there are a few that I do like more. And most of them don’t even involve her getting clocked ;-)

I've always very been fond of the way John Byrne draws faces, both male and female. They are always... likeable? ...appealing? Dunno how to describe it.IMO, a lot of artists are either too cartoony, too sloppy/inconsistent, or in an attempt to be realistic tumble down into the depths of an uncanny valley.

JB, because this is fan fiction, could you see the X-Men encountering non-Marvel characters like saaay Grunt and Nudge?

Something about Jean since getting the new hairstyle reminds me of Tom Palmer. Can’t put my finger on it.

I got a Gene Colan vibe from the first panel of today's page and we know how great Colan and Palmer looked together.

So close, Angel! Beautiful composition on this page--the ground-up view of Magneto and Quicksilver, the sidelong perspective of alt-Cyclops... Terrific page all around!

Dunno how to describe it.•• Shooter once told me that he liked how I drew Ghost Rider (this was in the Champions days) because I made the character look "handsome". He meant it as a compliment, but my immediate reaction was "Gotta fix that!"

@JB: Lol.
The sudden appearance of our Angel standing over his counterpart puzzled me for a bit. What a roller coaster!
