Summary/Review: More fairies, elves, and some freaky dragon in this ish. Not much to tell. Skin and Penance took down a bully dragon (although, they didn't really show how that ended, for some reason) that claimed to be the ruler of the freako land (not actual name). Banshee, Frost, and Eamon (Banshee's little troll friend) got out of the dungeon and found Chamber and Synch who decided to help the l'il elves get liberated, and Husk "husked" into a metal form that was, once again, too well-endowed in my perspective. Well, maybe not, but I don't like seeing the GenX kids shown like the other X-chicks are, not that I mind that so much. Argh, nevermind. Anyhoo, M spaced out again and when she cam back to reality, she told everyone that she fixed the Glamour Machine (how?) but it won't work because no one has the right power source to charge it up. Answer: Chamber. He pumped it up with psionic energy. And they all lived happily ever after... until next issue, of course.

Quick Thoughts: A low rating for this issue. Why? Well, it was kind of fun. I liked the conflict going on with Skin and the dragon, but.. that was really it. Everything else was just, well, borderline on fun. I guess I'm not too hip on the kids hanging out with a bunch of odd mythical creatures the way they were, and a lot of the ending was very muffled, especially that whole thing between Penance and the dragon. How in the world did a little poke from her finger take care of that huge thing? We shall never know, and that's a bummer.
