Another thing I forgot to mention about the original Dark Phoenix saga: Cyclops talking down Dark Phoenix with love is very, very similar to Xander talking down Dark Willow with love. Which is not surprising.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Robin question: Who is Cassie, now? I'm so easily confused.
Didn't like the Astounishing art so much this week. Emma looked off. I'm made very sad by Beast's question at the end -- I'm glad I'm not a huge fan, because this way I may be able to resist the imminent woobiness. Between this and Dark Beast and him being dead in Ultimate, it's been a hard (multi)life.

ita, she's the new Batgirl (though sometimes I forget that, too).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I haven't seen Robin yet, but I'd assume it's Cassie-Wonder Girl-Cassie. Unless it's not, in which case I have no clue, unless it's Cass, but she's not a Cassie.

Art Crawl!!!
So both new Batgirl AND new Wonder Girl are called Cassie?

Sumi: new Batgirl is normally called Cass or Cassandra. New Wonder Girl is Cassie.

I'm with Sumi -- that's confusing. Contextually, I think Steph is right (costume). I refuse to expand my reading to accomodate that. A girl needs limits.
Another Robinish question -- is Batman always like that? He seemed ungrim. Sassing Steph.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Batgirl is Cass. Wonder Girl is Cassie.

ita, on your Batman question -- I had the same reaction.
