The Uncanny X-Men #174 (Oct. 1983)

Dear Louise and Chris,

Oh man, X-Men 174 certainly had me wanting to read more. On its face it may look like not much happened in the issue. But it asked so many questions that I simply must read the next one: Will Scott join the Starjammers? Why can't the Prof. read Madelyne's mind? Since when could Kitty fly? What's up with Storm? Who was that preacher on the plane? And of course what happened at that ending?

I recently read an issue of The Avengers where they had a similar issue. The plot simply had less action than you would expect. The thing is they didn't pull off what you did here. They had me wanting to put down the comic and never pick up the title again. But here I just can't wait.

So a job well done. You are clearly a notch above the rest.

Your continued reader,
Jeff King
