    Oz, I definitely agree with you; I was terribly disappointed by MSH:TSW #1.
If nothing else, the heroes never stopped sniping at each other! All that
bickering was driving me up THE WALLS! I didn't have too much problem with the
Dr. Doom bit, after all, he flew off the handle pretty easily, too. What I
couldn't handle was that no one except the X-Men were willing to give Magneto
the benefit of the doubt.
    I also noticed Charly was back in the wheelchair, but there are a few other
inconsistencies as well:

    (a) Where the hell did Rogue and Cyclops come from?! X-MEN #180 did not
        show Rogue to be with the rest of the X-Men at the airport or at the
        Sheep Meadow. And as far as Cyclops is concerned, he *definitely*
        wasn't with the X-Men then (I'd grudgingly accept the explanation
        that Romita just forgot to draw in Rogue, but not Cyke).

    (b) In FF #265, when Susan Richards sees the heroes come home, see mentions
        seeing the X-Men, but the descriptions I've read of X-MEN #181 say that
        the X-Men reappear on Earth in Tokyo.

    (c) Ben Grimm supposedly doesn't return to Earth with the others (and THING
        #11 bears this out. So why is he going to be appearing in FF #266?


    Psigh! Well, at least I can be happy that there seems to be more cross-cont-
inuity between THE X-MEN and THE NEW MUTANTS.
