it's just too damn bad Marvel had to screw up john Byrne's vision for this book.

Ah come on Noah. Those first twelve issues were pretty cool. They mentioned RED DEER in the first issue. I nearly wet my pants when I read that. Of course I had a problem with that back then.

It's just that I remember when they first appeared in the Xmen and I was SO PROUD! A bunch of Canadians that could go toe to toe with the Xmen! And they had a rumble in downtown Calgary where I was living at the time. Woot!

When the first issue of their comic came out and there they were on the cover pushing well-established Marvel heroes out of the way saying,"Stand aside heroes this is a job only WE can handle." I almost peed myself.

Jump ahead in time and everyone on that cover was either dead, insane, pathetic, or a monster of some sort. And no-one can tell me that it wasn't a deliberate middle finger at the Great White North.
