Dear Cyclops,

I know we haven’t spoken since 1995, so this might be awkward, but when did optic blasts turn orange?  Other than that I feel like things are the same.  If I didn’t know better i’d swear I read this comic 20 years ago.  Way to shake that brick to the bean, Cyke!  I found it realistic, and it didn’t take me out of the story at all!  Still trying to figure out how it made your nose bleed, but whatever.  I’m almost sure you had Captain America’s respect as a leader back in the 90’s, but you seemed pretty ineffectual here.  What happened?  I’d like to say i’ll see you soon, but we both know me better than that.  Tell the Dark Avengers i’ll see them sometime around issue 9.  Hope to see you not being boring soon.

Tom
