Readthrough: Uncanny X-Men 95

Last week, we left the X-Men hurtling through the air towards certain doom! (More literally than usual, but otherwise, pretty normal for them.)

Warhunt! )

Should Thunderbird continue to stay dead, or is it past time for a resurrection?

Yes. Someone should stay dead in comics.

No. Everyone else seems to get to come back eventually; why not him?

The 616/main universe version can stay dead, but I'd like to see more alternate versions.

What do you think of this issue, and of Thunderbird’s brief X-career? Relatedly, does the flexible nature of death in comics annoy you or do you like it?

(And finally: if anyone wants to stick up for Count Nefaria and/or the Ani-Men in the comments, please feel free to do so! They will not be appearing in X-Men again, so this post is the place to do so if you so desire.)

Next Sunday, the X-Men and Thunderbird's family mourn in Classic X-Men 3. And next week, in Uncanny X-Men 96, Cyclops angsts so hard about Thunderbird's death that he accidentally unleashes a demon. (Professor X should really put up warning notices around that cairn...)
