X-Men - Part 8

That AOR Unlimited issue with Magik was such an uncomfortable read. Between this, the Betsy Psylocke comic and Savage Land Rogue mini, I've seen enough Tim Seeley to last me a lifetime.

Marvel set to blow up the X-Men status quo and rebuild it into the wildest mutant school ever

Not sure if this is where they're going with it, but its an idea that came from the way they're describing it... the mutants should really consider Remote schooling at this point taking a page from the Covid times

Use cerebro to teach kids how to control their powers from home. Avoid having a mass of mutants in one spot that bad guys can attack. Then when they graduate, if they want to become X-Men, they can move to an actual academy.
I'm glad it's a remote school and not an actual school tbh, but it might be a nice middle ground. At least some kind of unity will be good for the line.

"Graymatter Lane isn’t just another mutant school…it’s a global nexus where mutants can learn, train, clash, and evolve."

If I understood this right, that's VERY interesting. At least it has some potential.

As a non US american, I've always wondered about the status of mutants in the world. And as multicultural the X-Men have been, they have been stricted to US. I'm not expecting a lot really, but the idea of a remote, global school, with players from around the world sounds really interesting to me. Like, I've always wondered for instance about mutant superhero teams around the world. So the idea of them possibly just touching on that, even just superficially, sounds interesting. Krakoa level of interesting. But this time instead of exploring a mutant land, exploring tge status of mutants in different continents.

IF that's where they're going.

And on another topic... Dani is getting her own solo book! That's so cute! :hearts:
 
Oh, and why are they mentioning in this article that Cyclops wants to ruin everything?

Honestly from Schism, which I haven’t read but heard about it, to Cyclops vs Rogue, to apparently Emma vs Cyclops... ZzzZzZzz...

Those X vs X sounds so boring. Conflicts of ideology are part of the X-Men, but they have to be good and interesting.

There should be schools all over. Should even be competition between them, kind of like the Olympics. Mutants are global.
 
Oh god, which of Kitty's lovers is Eve bringing back?
 
So, uh, Illyanna is pregnant??? And Laura??
Rogue too. And we'll be seeing Storm's kid again. No idea what's going on there.

Meanwhile, Storm: EMM is potentially back to a mini again, but even Murewa Ayodele has no idea at this point. He said he hopes to know before he starts on his 5th issue...

Rogue I had no idea, but, I mean, it kind of makes the most sense? But like I thought Illyanna was basically almost explicitly queer (maybe it's just my mind). And Laura? Lorna too?

Storm? I had no idea about this kid. I had to google it.

Why are the writers doing this? Why is everybody pregnant?

Yeah, it's also their excuse for why Rogue was showing her ass on the Shadows of Tomorrow art. To hide her belly.

Illyana is pansexual. Laura isn't canonically confirmed, but I remember seeing a quote that there were previously plans to reveal her as queer. Hasn't happened though. 616 Lorna only gets the occasional hint in a Storm/Yukio kinda way.

Idk, but it's weird that it's happening so much.

Marvel probably wants the next generation to make up the new characters going forward.

Got it. Thanks for the explanation. I never thought of Lorna as queer. I just mentioned her because looks like she's also pregnant. But Laura and Ilyanna yes.

Nice to know there are many A-List queer woman. Men on the other hand...

But yeah, I hear people complaining about the books being more "directionless" lately.
