Inks: Buckingham
My reading of this issue suffered because I don't have #18 because Jorge didn't get it, I guess. Also, I haven't commented on the art (in the last post and this one) because I love Bachalo, although his panels are hit and miss. In this one, it seems, Onslaught has begun and Emma Frost has semi kidnapped Generation X and taken them to her posh house. Apparently, Emma lost her original team The Hellions, so she's a very overprotective teacher. Years later, another group of doomed teenagers formed another team called Hellions, but she didn't seem to care that much. This must be a fresh wound.
Emma's method of protecting Generation X is to brainwash them and dress them in costumes (with new personalities). For example, Jubilee is in a pin stripe suit, and talks like a gangster, etc. She also force feeds them terrible food. Emma is keeping them from the big fight but her methods leave them susceptible to the Toad, who hires Surgeon...to perform surgery on them? Emma projects an image of a childlike Monet as a conscience, and she stops Toad who turns out is there on vacation with Emma's permission.
She also gets assistance from Banshee, and Sasquatch, in what must be the most non-action sequence ever. There's loads of hugs though.
