 New Mutants #9 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Wolfsbane) back into the cast, and I was left wondering why they didn't simply bring in a new character to play the role of the book's cool teacher.
The book also manages to hold its cards pretty close to the vest, as I have to say I'd never have guessed it was Rahne, but than again I have to admit I didn't know who the character was until the dialogue actually identified her.
On the other side of the equation though I don't imagine many fans of Wolfsbane will be pleased with this issue as she is nothing like her previous portrayals, even when one takes into consideration the character growth the character under went in the 1990s as a member of X-Factor.

 Religion of Comic Book Characters (esp. Super-Heroes)
It is no coincidence that some of the world's most popular and critically acclaimed comic book writers are the writers who have written the most comic book stories about overt religious themes and openly religious characters.
Comic book writers notable for their regular and insightful use of religious themes in their stories include writers who are Christian, Jewish, Hindu, agnostic, atheist, etc. These writers differ in their religious beliefs and backgrounds, but they are united in their desire to write more realistic, more human, more meaningful stories.
One of the few places in mainstream comics where a large number of major superheroes have been explicitly identified as religious was in Marvel's Infinity Crusade #1 (June 1993).

But to have it actually appear in the plot of the comic book more than four decades after the character was "born," that's a different thing entirely.
Partly, comics writers have stayed away from explicit religion to avoid offending.
But comics industry experts said it was for the same reason religion hasn't been a big part of the books: Not offending is safer.

Peter David gave these secondary characters depth, and most of all, Jaime Madrox, the Multiple Man. I remember reading old stories from back in the day and Madrox was always in the background, never really with a point.
By mixing in reality (mention of Midtown Comics in NYC), pop culture (Madrox comparing himself and Strong Guy to Spencer and Hawk from Spencer: For Hire), humor and mutant intrigue, Peter David has created a spring board for yet another book that I'm going to have to hope doesn't get cancelled.
