New Mutants annual #7 (X-Terminators)Issue(s): New Mutants annual #7 (X-Terminators story only) Review/plot: ![]() ...the young former members of the X-Terminators go buzz an old lady in a flying saucer built by Takeshi (aka Wiz Kid). The lady, you'll note, bears a striking resemblance to Leech's former foster mother, Annalee. ![]() This old lady is a UFO freak, and she manages to get a picture of Takeshi's saucer and alerts the media and the police. After a bit of hijinx in which Leech and Artie are mistaken for aliens... ![]() ![]() ...the old lady welcomes them into her home. ![]() I wouldn't mind seeing some actual stories drawn by Jon Bogdanove, but not little maudlin non-adventures like this. Quality Rating: D+ Chronological Placement Considerations: I'm placing this directly before the main Kings of Pain story that begins in this annual. References:
Crossover: N/A Continuity Insert? N My Reprint: N/A Inbound References (1): showCharacters Appearing: Artie Maddicks, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Leech, Wiz Kid CommentsThis story should take place before X-Factor 63 since Jean is wearing her red costume. Posted by: Michael | October 22, 2015 10:50 PM I don't think i'm going to worry about the costume here. Jean got a yellow and blue X-Men costume in X-Men #263. And she wears it in X-Factor #56 but then goes back to the red costume (including in some X-Men issues) until X-Factor #63. So she could be switching between costumes. Of course it's really just that i prefer to cluster stories from the same issue whenever possible. ;-) Posted by: fnord12 | October 23, 2015 8:01 AM This is the sort of story I love to see in an annual. It answered my question of, "Wait, what happened to Artie and Leech?" just as I was asking it. It gave Leech a little closure on the horrific stuff he went through in Mutant Massacre. And Taki's line about Leech pulling his no-powers field in gave an answer for the minor continuity problem in X-Terminators of how Leech was able to fly in Taki's ships late in the story after repeatedly wrecking them at the start. Posted by: Greg T | September 24, 2016 12:09 AM Leech began to pull in his power null field beginning with X-Factor 19. After that he was able to pull it in enough that he effectively turned it off but it took a lot of concentration to hold it in. Marvel Girl has been shown carrying him with her powers before Inferno and even in her arms while levitating after Inferno.
