Fate was going to be it's own title, but then somehow got folded into this (which ain't so bad, at least it wasn't folded altogether). otherwise you are correct sirs: IMO a good mag Dr. Fate in C2M is by Steve Gerber (the Eclipso) is by Struges.

This is one of those things the editors should have sat back and really self-edited as far as the over-arching concepts and fallout are concerned. The events of the crossover just don't add up to the outcome. Period. “Messiah Complex” had fantastic moments, but it was full of filler and has a wholly illogical conclusion.

First step: get rid of el blondo bimbo Emma, who has turned into the worst excuse for a headmaster...."a badass"? Yet, the contribution of her character has somehow succeeded into turning Cyclops's into a bigger, lamer douche than before. How in the name of God is this possible? Damn you Quesada! words can’t even really sum up my loathing for the mess Marvel has turned the X-Men into.
