Now I don't know if this was intentional or accidental but, in any case, I THANK Y'ALL PROFUSELY, Scott Lobdell and co., for writing Erik in such a magnificently angsty way every time he mentions Charles or contemplates about life with/without him. The moments in between when he just lavishes on the heartache of losing Charles are so telling especially for a supposedly straight man married to a woman and has a damn kid-whom he, coincidentally, NAMED AFTER HIS DEAD BEST FRIEND.

You gotta hand it to Erik Lehnsherr of the Age of Apocalypse story arc he has been consistent in his Charles-loving, Charles-missing and Charles-monologuing for all the four volumes of this so-called fan-favorite alternate-universe storyline.

And if Bishop did his job, we will be but memories by the time the bombs fall. "This was never our place, never our time, not really.
