Credits Written By: Marty Isenberg, Robert N. Skir (Part 1), Elliot S. Maggin (Part 2) Music Composed By: Shuki Levy Animation Services By: AKOM Review: These episodes return the X-Men to the Savage Land and give us the first Storm spotlight in a good long while. Now, it�s been said since the show started that the majority of Storm spotlight episodes suck, and unfortunately, moving it to the usually interesting Savage Land didn�t help, in fact, it made it even worse. The whole Savage Land story completely dominated the episode, and to be honest, it was sheer nonsense from start to finish. There was a few good pieces in here, Rouge and Storm�s relationship got some nice development, and Sauron proved to be a lot more interesting this time around, but it was all underplayed to develop the threat of some rock in the ground. It also had a cringe worthy moment from Jubilee. �If Jubilee of the jungle can take down Sauron, she can take down Storm�� Good Lord. The episodes themselves weren�t absolutely terrible; they were just incredibly tedious to sit through. A short review for an episode short on entertainment. r> Screenshots: Part One Part Two
