Madison Jeffries appears again in issue #507, also as a member of Beast's sci-team, but now the team has a name: X-Club, named after a RL 19th Century association of scientists. He doesn't do much in the busy book, since there are like 4 or 5 story lines going on at once, and he's one member of an ensemble cast in just one of the story lines...
This issue is really good (Matt Fraction: thanks!), and I'm glad I picked it up, and now I'm sure Jeffries isn't a raving lunatic. Also, I was able to get the variant cover from my LCS, and later on there will be a 2nd variant issued at the Planet Comicon in Kansas City. I won't make it out there for one single comic, even though an Alpha Flight member appears in it... I should really go if I want to consider myself a real Alpha Flight fan, right?
Love,

I enjoyed it as well, and it's nice they have made Angel/Archangel useful again.
Well Fraction is going to be at that Con and didn't he mention something about keeping an eye on Uncanny for Alpha/Omega fans?Originally Posted by rplass

Solicits from Marvel indicate that the X-Club will continue until at least issue #512, that's good news. As long as Madison Jeffries manages not to get himself killed off, that's 5 more issues on this run!
Also, I love the way they did the 19th C look for the cover...

They should call them X-Club 7 and release a single. Maddison could sing lead vocals on a cover version of ' Metal Guru'.

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
Nothing new here, but there's a great pic of the Sasquatch figurine I thought you guys might like.
