Jay Eddin of Jay and Miles Xplain the X-Men is writing a Scott Summers one shot. https://twitter.com/NotLasers/status/1296256980340932609?s=19 It's set when he was a teen pre X-Men so probably won't tie directly to the current stuff (but then again maybe Hickman will put a major call back to it as a keystone for whatever next years X-Men event will be)

I really wanted to like Empyre X-Men but I can do with another loving forever without hearing Stephen Strange call Wanda an irresponsible idiot and then mansplain magic to her. Isn't this the guy who destroyed two Earths or whatever? BrianWilly fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Aug 24, 2020 |

Word out of film-critic Twitter is that Dani and Rahne explicitly become a couple in The New Mutants movie. Am I the last person to hear about this?

I think it has been mentioned before. I like it; I felt that Claremont kind of teased that kind of relationship between them, though not as much as Kitty and Illyana (also, since Karma is not in the movie, at least we are still getting some LGBT representation).

Rahne always felt coded as deeply closeted to me, so sure. Although she's apparently always been an orbosexual.

The one thing that would sell me on The New Mutants movie is if was set in 1984 and presumed the existence of a larger X-Men franchise that doesn’t exist, so Illyana keeps talking about how she was raised by shadowcat and storm in a hell dimension and the x-men are currently missing because the beyonder kidnapped them to fight in secret wars. Also the cop and the nurse have to be in it and get turned into hot immortal Sioux people like in the comic.

I'm so loving excited about this surely-no-better-than-a-C-plus of a movie. It's gonna suck waiting for it to come out on video so I can put it on and then get distracted halfway through.

Skwirl posted:Doesn't she sleep with one of Madrox's dupes in X-Factor? I think Rahne's love history could best be described as messy. I do agree though there is some subtext here and there that there are at least some women whom she has feelings for.

In early New Mutants much is made of Dani and Rahne's special bond that allows Rahne to communicate with Dani while she's in wolf form. There's definitely some coding there, and yeah, it's easy to read Rahne as deeply closeted.

Having the Native American character have a bond with the wolf girl makes me roll my eyes, but whatever. Claremont always meant well, I think.

That was Shooter era, yeah? So deeply closeted coding was the best you could hope for those days.

God drat X-Men is doing all the right loving things. Magnet loving owns. I love the formality of everything and how Krakoa is organized for combat with the constant telepathic communication and oversight with mutant power combinations for offensive and defensive capabilities.

On top of the excellent X-books mentioned in the above two posts, I am really enjoying how Hellions is Zeb Wells taking the grimness of his New Mutants arc in Limbo and cranking up the horror even further to get near to "Immortal Hulk, but magical". It's so fun, and gross, and interesting, and I'm enjoying the terrible team. Also, iWolverine is a great time if you like Larry Hama's oeuvre as I do: "I intend to bisect them longitudinally!"

I don't think I will pick up all issues of X of Swords, since keeping up with events as they're happening tends to not be worth the effort, but I can't wait to read it in trade format.

I don't understand Lorna's costume in X-Factor. Bizarre physics. Mojo World adapting to the age of influencers is a nice touch, yeah. What's iWolverine about? And speaking of (a) Wolverine, whatever happened to Laura since the Vault stuff? Or is she still in the Vault after nearly a year?

JordanKai posted:Hellions is so dang good. I'm already buying all the books it's going to involve, not getting all of it would really just mean not picking up the three stand alone issues. I could see it being annoying if you are only getting a couple X-Men books, but the way Empyre has been handled makes me think Hickman learned his lesson from Infinity's bullshit reading order. So hopefully you should be able to only read the books you're already reading.

Even if I don't plan on getting them, I do appreciate that all the relevant issues will have "PART [X] OF 12" printed on the cover. I think that's better than having the little checklist at the end of every issue.

Fritzler posted:Darwin, Wolverine and Synch have not been seen yet. I am excited for it to happen, but sometimes Hickman waits to come back to plot points. It should also be noted Magick says "3 attacks in 3 months" in X-Men #11 and Xavier says it took like a month before the first attack back in X-Men #4 (It's been a while since I read that issue) so it's been about 4 months since Krakoa existed, subjectively, although that means it's also been a loving millenia or two for Laura et. al subjectively.

Elsie-Dee at some point got caught and sold in parts, so Albert gets her back from the three criminal gangs (Russians, Reavers and Yakuza) in Madripoor who are using her. Then, it's escape from Madripoor! Also, a monkey has a katana.

Any inconsistencies are easily no-prized as subconsciously projecting the Hound marks onto her own body. Does this mean we're gonna see Raze and Xavier Jr. again? Since apparently being from the future doesn't mean you're outside of the whole Krakoan Re-Rez thing.

bobkatt013 posted:Two were dead for a long time Yeah, but one of them got better pre-Krakoa. It's just funny because for a while there they were showing up in background shots in a lot of post-HoX comics, and it was kind of random whether it would be 3 or 5. Even in the same comic line sometimes; there's 5 in the first issue of Marauders, but only 3 later on. I guess the other two were snogging Cable and Quentin Quire. I think one comic specifically called them the "Three in One", but I don't remember which one. Rick posted:I wonder if Rachel’s future even still exists post Secret Wars. I don't think it's possible for Rachel's future to have existed for a long time, not least because she was married to Franklin Richards who has rewritten his own future an endless number of times over since then.
