Great page, JB! I love the Beast's expression in the last panel. Now, are you telling us our Magneto is dead or is this going to turn out to be another head fake?

I didn't realize how much I'd miss this series until last week hit with no new pages. So great to see it back!
The art is great, as usual. What struck me most about this page was the writing...it really pulled me into the scene. Great work, JB!

Nice to get new content again after a dead week. As always, make us think one thing on the page then mess us up in the comments here. Love it.
Boy, climbing through debris would be hard without using your arms, although Hank could use his feet to do that I'd assume far easier than anyone else could. Won't speculate on why he is still around but not hard to think of at least 2 or 3 reasons why. Will be fun to read the next few days, although I fear this page might be it for Hank for a few days as other aspects of the story get covered. So many things I want follow up for, but only so much can be covered on a page. Maybe my kids will distract me from it all for a bit so I get 3 or 4 pages at once.

What alt-Hank is still doing here comes down to how we interpret “now”—as you’ll all see tomorrow!

That's what I figured, JB.
Hmmm... How far away are the school's closest neighbors?

I like the dynamic of who knows what and when they know it that seems to be emerging. Nice opening to issue 23.

If not for the seriousness of the situation, the hirsute alt-Hank would no doubt be amused by so many of you calling him hairless!

This has me really missing/appreciating The Hidden Years.
There's also a hint of Danger Unlimited going on --- like how the scenes would shift back & forth, from the old team to the new.
Tres spiffy.

Same. And it's worth noting that with this page, JB has exceeded the number of issues!

And this time I haven’t had to suffer thru the cancelled/not cancelled/cancelled/not cancelled/cancelled cycle that bedeviled XHY in the final months.

Hidden Years should've gone on forever! It was a masterpiece of Original XM art and storytelling! It would've been fantastic if you could've taken the stories all the way up to GSXM 1 and then put your own spin on re-telling all the stories up until 108
