If she's supposed to be part Kitty I would think she would have more than just her hairstyle anyway. That style's not unique to her, and it's not even the same color.

If they’re already done, he’ll probably be announcing something else soon. So loving hyped for this. Been waiting to care about the X-Men again.

Shonen Waifu posted:That Colossus/Magick hybrid has Kitty's hair? Honestly it looks more like Laura's to me, but I don't think either ever wore those hair ties or had it go down past their back. And Kitty's definitely isn't that dark. X-O's guess on Moonstar seems closer, at least.

Who is the lady on the bench? That's the only annoying part of the image because she's not easily identifiable but she's given a very prominent position.

I think Age of X-Man has a flawed and not very compelling premise but a lot of the individual books just sing in a way that few X-books have in years outside of ancillary stuff like Domino or Mr./Mrs. X or Wolverine/X-23. I think this is because, well, they're being written by fresh voices who have something to say about these characters-- surely X-Tremists starts from the most hackneyed position of anything of this books, but I'm still going to miss it when it's gone, because Leah Williams writes these characters with such a light touch. I wish this book would go on indefinitely. I care more about Moneta's true-believer zealousy than I cared about any of the last eighteen iterations of nano-sentinels or mutant-hating senators or whatever, and the weird, halting, uncomfortable scene between Betsy and Fred Dukes was the only time I've felt moved by anything either of those characters has ever done. I somehow give a poo poo about Psylocke and the Blob now, because, like, in a novel play by Marvel, they're being written by someone who gives a poo poo about them too. I'm abstractly on board with the Hickman thing because as much as I'm skeptical of a lot of his writing, and especially wary of how his pet themes will wind up informed by the basic premises of the X-Men, because it's the first time since Gillen that I've had any confidence that someone is coming onboard with an actual idea to communicate-- that being said, I really hope Williams and Thompson and McGuire stick around in some capacity.

Echoing that sentiment, X-Tremists #2 was fantastic. This is exactly what the X-Men franchise needs - human stories about oppression and longing that use the comic book setting to allegorise their themes. I was just intrigued by the first issue, but the second is Williams knocking it out of the park. Really liked the scene with Moneta, Nezumi and Jubilee, too. Also? Northstar and Moneta speaking pretty comprehensible French! They come off as actual bilingual people - slipping in and out of their native language depending on the context, rather than "comic book bilingual" where they just speak English but occasionally say zut alors or dios mio.

Claremont and Morrison both got that that element of desire and longing is so crucial to what makes the mutant stuff work, otherwise the soap-opera elements are just grand guignol misery and moping. Edit: I also want to celebrate that Northstar wasn't just speaking French, he was speaking Quebecoise French! Bibitte! I couldn't believe it!

Just following on from the above, I also want to say how touching X-Tremists #2 was? In the same issue that has Jubilee being rightly excoriated for her complicity by a captive pregnant lady? (Also, Moneta is a monster and it's amazing, while Northstar is everything in this.) That was some feat from the creative team, and that final page was hot as hell, which is just kinda unbelievable to me because Blobsy was never something I knew I wanted to see*. *Good thread here from Leah Williams about why she chose not to fully explore Psylocke's bisexuality in an AU: https://twitter.com/mymonsterischic/status/1110133415926525953 Also, Mr & Mrs X #9 was fantastic. It was such a common sense explanation for Rogue that really reframes her powers and makes her have a much stronger foundation going forward, without just blitzing past her issues to allow for flexibility down the line. This issue had an excellent use of her history, and Remy doing some solo t'ievin' was also hella sexy. Big fan of Spiral just snarking at them both throughout too.

Wow, I was still onboard Uncanny until this past issue. Wolverine just straight up impales Hope and Cyclops loses an eye? Also, that weird scene where the final panel on one page has Forearm smashing Cyclops form behind screaming TRAITOR, and you turn the page to see the two teams facing off against each other in a fashion where there's no possible way the previous panel could have happened.

Yeah, I'm really ready for this run to end. I'm not sure if I'd feel more charitable towards the writing if the art wasn't so loving bad, but since the art is just awful I'm over all of it. I mean, the whole TO virus thing reads like a writer trying to hand wave away a plot point they didn't like from a previous author, but it's the same writer what the gently caress? I'm so over all of this, bring on Hickman and/or literally anyone else.

I guess knowing that everyone's much more excited about the story by a bunch of other people running concurrently with your run and/or are just waiting for Hickman to come along and do another franchise-defining run after you probably isn't the best space to be in, creatively.

When the first couple pages of this issue were previewed, I joked that Dark Beast was becoming the moral center of the team since he was the first person to express concern that the New Mutants had been all Warlock-ized. It was clearly a ploy for Dark Beast to escape his captivity, I thought, but it really speaks ill of the book that he's the first person to actually care. And then… it wasn't a ploy to escape. He actually helps the New Mutants. Sure, he gets a chance to do what was presumably mad science, but wouldn't Rosenberg's Cyclops do the same thing if he thought transferring the T-O virus to a Madrox clone would help him kill the Nasty Boys or whoever the gently caress? Dark Beast really is the heart of this run. And the rest of the issue sucked too.

People praised Tom Taylor because X-Men Red was very good, not because it wasn't mediocre like the rest.

You literally couldn't pay me to read Rosenberg's work. I stuck through Secret Warriors which never seemed to go anywhere and the Jean Grey resurrection mini was almost offensive in how the setup made so little sense.Cabbit posted:Yeah I've entirely checked out until Hickman shows up.
