I am not surprised with the acclaim these issues received, and the acclaim was well deserved in my opinion. I wonder if Betsy's return, the Jean Grey plot or both contributed to the sales? UXM 510 and 511 were well written and interesting issues in Fraction's series of issues, and I am looking foward to more of his great writing particularly concerning Betsy. The Betsy and Dazzler interaction reminded me of Uncanny from the 80s. Dazzler and Betsy were close friends in those days, and Dazzler's embrace of Betsy in 511 was a poignant moment and may be paying homage to their friendship.
