Interesting issue as Bastion’s plan comes together, though I have to ask — why not just create the sphere around Nation X? They are offshore — why include good chunks of San Francisco in the process?
I believe because there are mutants in San Fran that don’t reside in Utopia and he may assume that Cyclops has his X-Men dispersed around the city for preparations.
I just took it as him just looking two steps ahead, just to cover his bases
Good point.
Man, that Bastion guy is smart. ;)
will read the issue later, bastion looked real imposing on x-force, he wasn’t drawn as well in uncanny though..how bout here in legacy?
