I'd definitely like to see that as well (no guarantee it would have been any better, but he's generally a good writer when dealing with heavy issues).

And I didn't mind the silent frames, but I'd have rather had more exposition. More time to learn about the guy and why we should care that he's dead. Why he'd, so quickly, go to suicide. New Mutants #45 is fairly text heavy...but not without purpose. And, even there, you have a few silent pages, with Kitty discovering Larry's light sculptures. But that's AFTER we learn about the guy, learn who he is, learn why he would consider suicide, and the revelation that he's a mutant just makes it all click. With this issue...we find out that he's a mutant...then he dies. With little-to-no transition. And it's a shame.
