X-Men 148: does little baby mutant want it's bottle?

WHAT WE LEARNED THIS ISSUE:

BANSHEE CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF ALL HIS ERRANT SPERMS

DAZZLER: THE FEMALE KENNY LOGGINS

ANGEL QUIT. GOOD RIDDANCE. HOW USELESS IS THAT GUY, HONESTLY? OOH, YOU FLY? BIG DEAL, I HAVE A REVOLVER. NOW YOURE DEAD. NICE WORK MR FLYING SUPERHERO FAGGOT.

OH GREAT, FUGGIN MAGNETARD IS BACK

LOOKS LIKE DAZZLER OVERDID THE BOTOX A LITTLE IN MY DEPICTION, EH? YIKES

yet another pointless recap: This issue was not unlike a hearty helping of warmed-over poop soup. The main story follows Storm, Kitty Pryde, Stevie Hunter (Claremont is really pushing Kitty's useless dance instructor on us for some reason) and Spider-Woman (who is guest starring presumably because lazy Claremont was concurrently writing her title as well) on a girls night out to see fuckin Dazzler.

At the night club INFINITY, which let 13.5 year old Kitty Pryde in for some reason, they are attacked by mutant loser freak Caliban. I actually like his power, to feed off and grow stronger on other people's fear of his grotesque appearance, but the plot line goes now where. Caliban tries to abduct Kitty, is stopped by team girl squad and then everyone goes home.

Over in the b-storyline, Lee Forrester and Cyclops dick around in some weirdo alien city that popped up out of no where until we see that it's the new secret lair of ole magnet balls himself (CLIFFHANGER YALL).

Also in the issue Angel quits (ostensibly because he doesn't like Wolverine, but probably it's because his character sucks and Claremont wanted to get rid of his lame ass) and Banshee finds out he has a daughter, even though it's years before his daughter is featured in the comic book in any meaningful way. Wolverine and Nightcrawler also hang out and we see Colossus' toddler aged sister visited from Russia. At least we'll see Illyana again in the not too distant future.

Ok, see you in hell worthless place holder. This issue and next are pretty much just there to take up space before the big Magno-X-Farts battle in double sized issue 150. MOVING ON...
