C.S. Dept., St. John's Lines: 16 DD If the Beast,Ice-man and Angel all join X-Factor,then what happens to the Defenders? (Forgive me if this is already evident,I don't read either book at the moment.) Perhaps they bring back Dr.Strange and make the ex-non team something unique again,rather than a mutant version of the Avengers. X-Factor is an idea whose time has come (Clichee Police!Clichee Police!). As for the X-Men,I couldn't care less. I consider them a victim (one of many) of Jim Shooter's hyped-up Marvel Empire that uses excessive soap-opera-isms(???) and needlessly extensive changes for the probable purpose of selling comic books. I sense a flame brewing here,so I'll sign-out now while I still can!
