		The European superhero team Excalibur took up residence on Muir Island after assisting Moira as she was attacked by agents of Mister Sinister seeking the genetic information on her son.

	Postcard from Wyre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		There is here no mark of Muir's few years here: the visitor brings his work, dreams and history over on the ferry and leaves the island again as unmarked as did Muir.
		The island, the farm, the castle and the chapel have their own private histories and glories; the world Muir makes of them is subsumed within those histories - the Bu no Bronte Vicarage.
		The visitor too shares only the visual Wyre with Muir - the island he experienced is always already lost for us, the distant isle of childhood, the distant isle of the eve of the Victorian era, an island not unconnected to the outside world, but at several removes from it.

		I know Muir Island only affects characters with a 4 cost or less and that you have to wait until the recovery step but unlike Children of the Atom you can use it every turn for the same cost.
		I’m a big fan of consistency which is why when it comes to these 2 cards I personally prefer Muir Island.
		Between Gambit, Forge, Muir Island, and others, X-Men seem to have the hardest time keeping cards in hand, and that can be a huge drawback when the time comes to decide between keeping your Rogue (Powerhouse) in hand for Turn 6 or saving your Nightcrawler, Fuzzy Elf on Turn 4.

	Ultimate X-Men #16 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The book opens on a stormy night off the coast of Muir Island where we see an armed party board a drifting ship, but once aboard they find the crew of this vessel is dead.
		However, there is one living creature lurking among the dead, and we see it is an entity that is able to jump from body to body, and this sequence ends with one of the boarding party becoming the next host.
		In the end though this was largely a setup issue for the crisis on Muir Island, and to this end the book does manage to deliver a very strong sense of impending danger for the young team.
