JB, thanks for this amazing story arc!
Regardless of whether you plan to re-visit our alt-heroes at some point in the future, to what extent (if at all) does your mind already know what happens to them going forward?
(edited to correct typo)

Looking forward to the new storyline. Art on these last two pages has been great.

I have no idea what Professor X and Scott are thinking…
…and I’m glad!

Heh. X-Men #200 I'm assuming when Magneto was charged and tried. I forget how it went but obviously he wasn't executed for mass murder, or even put in jail of some kind.
Nice ending to the alt-X-Men series. Leaving us wondering did Thor show mercy or did he go for vengeance in the end. I like endings like that where the end result doesn't affect our core heroes so you leave it as a permanent loose end for fans to debate until/unless it serves the story to show what happened.

Very curious to see where this leads! This series has been as hard on the mansion as it has been on Wolverine.

I enjoy the knowledge that Alt Magneto is out there and more mentally
unstable than ever due to (insert scientific term) alt universe vibrations.
What evil lurks!!!(?)

Professor X leaves off on a tantalizing line indeed this week. What does he have in mind for a better HQ than the mansion?
Until he sets up shop in a welded-together mass of Sentinels... Make Mine Elsewhen!

Few things yank me out of a story as fast as seeing something that is glaringly wrong--in that case, trying Magneto in Paris instead of The Hague--because it is so easy to research.

And the wrap up to this story was brisk, got right to the point, and yet did leave some plot threads that could be followed up later IF JB so chooses. In the best comic book tradition, he's left himself a way to reopen that toybox if he wants to go there.
