Just two years of "what the smurf?" in the X-Books, ending with the triumphant removal of the two blandest characters in the entire franchise. I'm starting to think that all Cyclops and Jean Grey fans grow up to work on the X-Men books, cause they can't leave them alone, despite Claremont and other writers trying desperately to write these two characters out of the series several times.
To be fair, Jean's at least been dead in main continuity for almost ten years (barring a short lived resurrection in a mini-series that I don't think many read), and Cyclops has been more interesting for about as long. Coincidence? Probably not.

To the first, I've always been at a loss for why anyone enjoys Bon Jovi. To the second, I actually like her voice. Now if only she could write a song that wasn't a steaming pile of trout to go along with it I'd better understand why she's as popular as she is. Mind you, that seems to be the way with popular music. One steaming pile of trout after another with me wondering why the hell people like it. There's a reason I can't listen to the radio. Ever.
