Actually, I thought Alan Davis was the weak link in this series (which really surprised me). Aside from the sequence where Scott blasts the sentinel in issue 4, I was really underwhelmed (and for the record, I almost without a doubt always love Davis work). More shockingly for, I though Kubert handled the quieter scenes in the issue better than the action scenes.

I still don't agree with the central issue of the "schism" or at least the two characters having the argument, but I've gone over that enough in this thread. I think my main problem is the idea that Cyclops is treating the student age kids as soldiers first and foremost, which is something that's been refuted several times over the last few years. I'm also not sure how Logan is going to prevent them from not getting involved in crazy fight situations, because if there's one things we've learned about teenage X-Men, it's that they have no problem with and will get mixed up in shit at the drop of a hat.
