Summary/Review:
Not much in this ish. Thanks to the guest penciller, Roger Cruz, we saw a little too much flesh here. Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't mind seeing scantaly clad girlies runnin' around, but here he makes Jubilee (my fav character) a little too... well endowed, so to speak. Otherwise, his art is good.
Anyhoo, this ish starts off with Banshee's nightmare of himself during the end of his Interpol days, at Castle Cassidy where he lost, presumably, a woman lose to him thanks to Arkady Rossovich (Omega Red). But Ms. Frost steps in, without her will because of the closeness between her and Banshee. Y'see, Chamber accidently blew up the Girls Dorm when Paige kissed him (which she tries to talk to him about later but it comes out sounding regretful that she would do something like that to a "freak" in Jono's mind), so Emma gave up her place to the kids until it was fixed which left her at Banshee's place. After the dream, Emma showed a little extra of herself too Sean, to stop the nightmares, I'm assuming.
Later, Emma tells Sean that she feels bad about kicking Leech (who wouldn't? That cute l'il green guy.). Also, Synch and Skin build the two new kids (Leech and Artie) a treehouse in the Danger Grotto. Awww. Oh yeah, Cassidy Keep disappeared.

Quick Thoughts: I can't say I enjoyed this issue much. It was sort of fun, yeah, had a couple little stories going on, and some foreshadowing, but... nothing fantastic happened. Of course, I don't think that anything fantastic was supposed to happen, so I think that everything I'm saying right now is pointless. Hmm. Lemme think of something important and interesting. Did you know that Alfred Hitchcock attempted to show up in the darnedest places in his films, and let his followers and fans try to spot him? It's true.
