I'm beginning to think that the Exiles' creative team somehow snuck a mostly decent depiction of Tanaraq by TPTB because rarely (and by 'rarely' I mean Mantlo) have The Great Beasts been portrayed as the 1st tier mystical beings that they are like Tanaraq is in Exiles.
I still don't see how a 3rd generation baby demi-god [high-jacked by a mere mortal] could possibly control (six out of) seven Great Beasts! Just doesn't make sense to me. Pestilence should have received an even ruder reception than Zaratos/Malthatos/whoever.
And I agree that Walter's been getting short-shrifted for years.
King Mungi, the Wolverine/Weapon Alpha pic was originally in UXM# 109. James' reflexes were quick enough to get his shield up in time to protect him, meaning (I infer) that James must have learned something from getting ripped open during the training exercise from AFV2# 1 (and signing a cloning release form under extreme duress with Gary Cody in attendance!).
