Finally made it to Polaris! Lorna has become one of my absolute favorites over the past few years creating a look for her was a ton of fun. I tried to keep the undersuit very simple I wanted to keep the focus on the hair and the coat. for the coat I took a ton of inspo from David Baldeón’s Incredible X Factor designs. I added some length to give the feeling of a cape (A. It evokes Magneto and Wanda B.I really really like capes) For the hair I tried to give it the amazing volume it has in the 90’s X factor ( particularly when drawn by Larry Stroman) Finally the pose and background are a direct reference to her first appearance which I’m pretty sure was Steranko.

Ellis Stunts: Gregory J. Barnett Stunts: Tim A. Davison Novel: Tom Clancy Movie Reviews: John Chard: Good guys are real good, and the bad guys are real bad. Patriot Games is a more than serviceable thriller, perhaps a bit out of date when viewing it now, but still a very effective good against evil piece. The source material is so dense and intricate it was always going to be hard to condense that into a 2 hour movie, but I feel the makers manage to keep it fleshy whilst making the respective characters interesting and watchable. The acting on show is more than adequate, Harrison Ford is great in the role of Jack Ryan, he manages to portray him as a sensitive family man who can step up to the plate when things get ugly, and Anne Archer is solid enough as the wife and mother caught up in the web of nastiness unfolding. The baddies are led by the brooding Sean Bean who is a little under written, whilst Richard Harris is sadly underused. However, the action set pieces make their mark and thankfully we get a riveting...

Break down you Gerry Dugan hate for me please (if you’d be so kind)

that's so fair of you actually. and I want to start off by saying: I don't think he's actually a bad writer. his hawkeye vs deadpool is one of my favorite limited series ever, sam alexander nova (which he wrote a decent chunk of) is one of my favorite characters, and aside from my grievances about the stepford girls, I absolutely loved his cable run from a few years back. he can and does write well!

when you give him things he knows how to write.

and the problem with that is marvel... kind of hasn't been doing that. his marauders was good, except for kate pryde's sudden, random bi arc that started and basically ended with her kissing a female tattoo artist. and his x-men was fine until it turned out he had to write a female character with mental illness and another female character with an extremely complicated and trauma-ridden relationship with her own autonomy (and a ton of queercoding). not to mention the reduction of a fairly functional polyam relationship to just scott and jean. and he definitely doesn't seem prepared to be handling so much of the fall of x -- he's never been responsible for an event to this degree before, it's really just been tie-ins before this.

you'll notice that two of the series I mentioned in the beginning (nova and cable) are very similar -- teenage guy Figuring Out What The Hell Is Going On with the unfortunate shadow of an older version who does the same thing and a lot of space shenanigans. and the third involves deadpool, and duggan has been a deadpool writer for at least as long as I've been reading comics, probably longer. these are things that gerry duggan can definitely do! he is good at them! they are enjoyable and make me feel things!

but I don't think he was prepared to branch out from that when marvel dropped krakoa in his lap and said "figure out how to kill this." I definitely don't think he was prepared for writing multiple characters who were Weird Kinds Of Queer, or who had mental health issues that went beyond your standard heroic ptsd and angst, or who would have to have some pretty complex feelings about the questionable homeland they're defending. writing a lot of comics at once is really difficult, too. and so I think he fell short, and he fell short hard, and his writing suffered for it.

what could have been a story (or even a side arc) about laura and her previous history with self-harm instead became a remix of the tried-and-true Logan's Memory Sucks storyline. and then what could have been a story about the dynamic between laura and talon and which one was real instead became a heterosexual romance with laura completely jettisoned from the x-men. what could have been a very relevant and pressing schism within the team after lorna puppeted laura while laura was unconscious was instead played off as a joke. what could have been an emotionally fraught and complex arc about scott and alex reconciling was instead a five minute conversation with the endgoal of a fight instead of a conclusion, and then alex was completely jettisoned from the x-men. what could have been an interesting, complicated, and nuanced conversation about the idea of exterminating all the brood that paralleled the broader conversation humans were having about mutants instead became scott summers advocating for genocide. and that's just within his x-men (largely because that is the series I'm most familiar with and the characters I'm most familiar with outside the context of the series) and pulled out of my ass at eight in the morning. I have so many thoughts on the way he's been handling his portion of the fall of x.

it's not so much that I hate gerry duggan as it is that I hate what he's doing. he's been put in a situation where he has too much to write and so he's resorting to the easy stuff, even if it means he has to resort to tropes and oversimplifications and sentences like "I didn't go to the gala because I have depresssion." and it fucking sucks! because I love a lot of the characters he's writing and I think he could do so much better under different circumstances. maybe just with less to write so he can give the characters the time and attention they deserve, maybe with series that are more suited to the things he's good at. I don't know. but what's happening right now is not working and I don't like it.

Cable #2 by Gerry Dugan and Phil Noto

If there was one thing I was concerned about (okay, miffed about) it was Kid Cable being some sort of creepy cipher to creep on teenaged girls. This joke put those to rest.  Ah, Mean Girl Cuckoos.  How I’ve missed you.

I drew Sunfire! I had to move quickly on this one otherwise Shiro would quit and rejoin the team before I finished. For this design I started from his incredible AoA look. That mask is something you don’t see a lot of in the X men and really distinguishes him. Next I tried to make sure he looked distinct form the human torch, for that I tried to give his body this molten core, to me it evokes radiation which ties back to shiro’s first appearance. Instead of the black lines from the AoA suit I gave him the markings seen in his most recent suit, this gives it a more “superhero” feel to me.
