They are doing a redraw of Giant Size X-Men 1, as a celebration of its 45th anniversary, I am a bit ambivalent about the idea, but I suppose it will be interesting to see modern artists takes on Dave Cockrum’ s work.

AIPT had an aricle about it today, including an interview with Jordan White, the Xbooks editor. And I quote:

AIPT: Hm… but that Xavier is pretty resourceful. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. OK, so this whole comic’s a celebration of Len and Dave. I’d like to know what Wein and Cockrum contribution to the X-Men mythos you’re MOST grateful for. There are tons, but for the sake of this question, you can only pick ONE.

Jordan: I mean, yeah, that is not fair. There are SO MANY. I want to spend my whole answer fighting with you about the premise of the question, but I will be nice and just pick one single drop out of the ocean. NIGHTCRAWLER. He’s one of the most popular X-Men around 45 years after his debut, his design is amazing, no one has ever topped his original look no matter how they tried, and the idea of this loving, good-natured guy who looks like a demon just… it just works on all fronts. Storm is a close second.

End quote.

I agree, both Kurt and Ororo were particularly important, Kurt for all of us who society considers different, strange, wrong, all us that shouldn’t be allowed to exist, let alone be happy, and should be purged with fire, whether literally or metaphorically.

DEATH BATTLE Review: Weiss vs. Misturu

Y’know, I had a gag planned when that required Weiss to be introduced after two other RWBY Characters that I don’t think I can do anymore since Weiss got introduced before them. Maybe I can do a deleted scenes thing later…

Two Ice Queens battle for the true reign over the ice castle!

Weiss′s Preview.

The world of Remnant is full of many things that make it famous. From the vicious creatures of Grimm, to the Huntsman and Huntresses that are sworn to fight them, and many many more. But in this world, you’d be hard pressed to find a person who has never heard of the Schnee family.

And like any famous family, these guys are like royalty. And their princess, is Weiss Schnee.

Like many children born to great families, Weiss’ home life wasn’t that fun. Her father had high expectations for her, and she was set to just run the place… Whenever that happens. But, in defiance to her father’s wishes, she got out and joined Beacon Academy, an illustrious school where everyone can learn how to fight monsters. And once she joined a team, she put the ‘W’ in team RWBY.

But Weiss can’t just get by with money. So like most Hunters (Which is what I’m going to be calling them so that I can save some space), Weiss got herself a weapon, which Boomstick nicknamed Merc-Nasty.

This rapier is nearly three feet in length, and, much like nearly every other weapon in the show, it doubles as a gun (insert “it’s also a gun” joke here)!

Myrtenaster comes equipped with a six-slot Dust chamber. And unlike the dust in our world, the Dust in this world is special. Similar to the materia from Final Fantasy or Crystals from Storm Hawks, these all come with their own stats and effects.

Weiss is a fan of combining water and wind to create Ice Dust

But, if you’re going to fight giant shadow monsters, criminals, and godzilla dragons, you’re  going to need way more than just a stick to fight them with.

Think of Semblances as “X-Men” powers. They’re all unique in their own ways. However, Weiss’ Semblance is a bit different. In the sense that instead of it being unique, it’s actually inherited through her family line. Kinda like the mark of the Joestar (Before you ask, no. No Jojo character is up next. I’m upset about it too).

Weiss’ Semblance lets her do all sorts of crazy stuff. From manipulating gravity, to time dilation, to manipulating dust.

But most impressive of all, is the summons, which lets Weiss act like Yuna from FF X and bring out monsters she’s beaten to fight alongside her.  And the most powerful one of all, would be knight, the Arma Gigas… Which means “Giant Armor” in Latin.

But yeah. Weiss’ family is pretty dysfunctional, and kinda abusive at times. Her Colonel Sanders-looking dad up there cut her out of the family line, leaving her piece of shit brother as the sole heir to the company.

But if there are any physical weaknesses Weiss has, it would probably be her durability.

Aura is finite, and takes time to recharge. Sure, you’re basically invincible when you do have it, but when it’s out, you’re out.  And compared to Best Girl Yang (Fight me), Weiss’ durability isn’t that great. And since using her Semblance also burns aura, she’s more likely to run out sooner rather than later.

But Weiss is pretty tough. She once managed to survive a train crash. Judging by the size of the fragmentation, and applying the appropriate mathematics, the amount of force Weiss withstood comes out to be about…

Not good enough?- Then how about the time she knocked over a giant mech that was designed to fight giant leviathan grimm?

Judging by the size of her partner beside her, Weiss’ output of force should come around to about…

And it’s unlikely that Weiss is doing this using only dust. So, by using the water,  we can get an estimate as to how much energy is being used for this attack.

For those of you wondering, this translates to over 230 tons of TNT!

Forget Dust. Weiss could make a killing on giving people renewable power alone.

Weiss might not be the strongest of her team, but with her newfound family, she’s certainly proven that she is far more than just a name. And she’s out to prove that this life is hers.

Misturu′s Preview.

In the early 2000s, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Japan who hasn’t heard of the Kirjio group, a global conglomerate that was involved in nearly every aspect of daily life. .

And just like any other major company like this, they had a family. And this princess, was known as Mitsuru Kirijo

One day, Mitsuru’s Grandfather was experimenting with some sort of mental world called “The Mind Place.” Officially known as “The collective unconscious.” Because companies doing shady business deals is apparently something we should expect. When is news going to break out that Disney does have their founder’s head in a jar?

Anyways, the Mind Place connects every living being’s subconscious mind. Things known as “Shadows” lived there.

These things are basically demons. But if you want to see an inner demon, you find a person’s “Shadow Self.”

Surprise surprise, Grandpa Kirijo decided to try and get to the shadows for himself. But, as per usual, summoning demons never works out… Unless you play an Archfiend Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh, in which case, go nuts.

So, everything kinda went to shit because of it, and not only were the shadows released into the world to attack an unsuspecting populace, this tower thing here:

the Tartarus, arose. It’s basically the citadel between worlds. The earth was changed with a new “Dark Hour.” A period of time where everything freezes at Midnight.

Most people don’t really notice though. Time resumes as normal when it’s over, and almost nobody really notices.

Almost.

Some people can keep moving around in this time. Mitsuru is one of them. since she felt bad about her family’s company screwing everyone over, so she decided to fix it.

And while her rapier skills are certainly good, on account that she’s in the fencing club at her school, a small sword like that isn’t exactly enough to take down a bunch of evil shadows… Wait, hang on. Do both of these franchises have Heartless ripoffs?- Moving on, Mitsuru also has various abilities that she can use.

And on top of all of it, she even got a Stand Persona, named Penthesilea, which later grew into Artemisia.

With Artemisia by her side, Mitsuru has a lot of powerful ice spells that she can call upon in battle. So it’s basically a Stand except they don’t have that rule of “Only a Stand can defeat another Stand” thing going for them… Huh, note to self: Have Jotaro and Mitsuru get into an argument about terminology. Also unlike Stands, Personas can be defeated, but they’ll come back after a short time.

Similar to Stands, Personas also kinda reflect damage back to the user. But since it’s more linked to the personality rather than the soul or fighting spirit, it’s more mental stress if anything else.

Artemesia gives Mitsuru all sorts of awesome stuff. Like ice powers that could give Elsa a run for her money. It also grants Mitsuru enhanced strength, speed, and durability. In addition, it also makes her completely immune to the cold and ice-based attacks. I’d ask “Why the fur coat?” But, as we all know, Everyone needs a fur coat (And it’s a pretty nice coat). She can also sense her surroundings via analytical clairvoyance, which makes sneaking up on her pretty hard.

But, like all great heroes, nobody really does it on their own. Mitsuru created the S.E.E.S, or the “Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad.” A group of Persona users that were basically the Teen Titans, if they had Stands instead of superpowers. And, as an added bonus, it’s an after school club, so bonus extra credit!

And you might be thinking “How would one summon a Persona?” Well, since this franchise wasn’t done ripping off Jojo (I looked it up, Stands and the Stand Arrows were introduced about three years prior to Persona 1), they decided to uh… Use the Evoker… Which… Fair warning…

(I think I’ll take the Stand Arrow instead).

The idea behind the Evoker is that it evokes a strong traumatic experience to awaken a person’s Persona, similar to how Mitsuru’s first experience in summoning hers was also traumatic.

To add to the unsettling nature of this, you don’t just have it shot at you. You aim it at your face, and pull the trigger. DEFINITELY taking the Stand Arrow over that.

Anyways, with all that power, Mitsuru’s pulled off some ridiculous stuff.

Here’s an added bonus: One Persona user that could outrun a bullet fired from a Magnum. So it’s reasonable to say that Mitsuru could do this too.

If that last feat wasn’t impressive enough for you, Personas can move even faster. One of them reacted to and caught an arrow within milliseconds. And since Mitsuru defeated this user and Persona in a fight.

But if you’re looking for a durability feat, then look no further, because Mitsuru once survived an explosion.

This one to be exact.

This is easily the longest series of images I’ve had to upload in a row. And isn’t Boomstick a Poultry Scientist?- Why’d he say “I’m a scientist now.”?

Ahem, moving on. Artemisia also once helped out in icing these creepy puppet things:

Now, using the surrounding air and accounting for Nitrogen (As it makes up a good chunk of the air we breathe), we can get some calculations for this feat.

The energy output, after the calculations are done, comes to around…

Okay, forget Weiss supplying people with Power, Mitsuru’s where it’s at. Maybe she could slow down out polar ice caps from melting.

And after ending the Dark Hour and redeeming her family name, Mitsuru continued battling for people everywhere. One shadow at a time.

Not too shabby.

The Battle Itself.

Torrian and Kristina are here for animation, Weiss will be voiced by Kara Eberle and Mitsuru will be voiced by Corey Pettit, music (Winter Sonata) by Therewolf,  and audio by Chris Kokkinos.

So, we just jump right into the middle of the fight. No explanations, no story build-up, no nothing. It’s just like RWBY Volume 4! Ha ha! … Sorry, I, I just, I had to get that in there… God, that was a garbage volume.

So, with swordplay looking to be about even, both sides are basically going to be relying on their other skills for this bout. Y’know, a fencing tournament getting out of hand would have been an interesting story for this fight.

So, a bit of talking later, and the fight just picks up. And it occurs to me that they should have used this as the example fight for why the “FIGHT!” soundbite shouldn’t return. Like, c’mon guys.

Back on the fight, Weiss uses her ice powers to try to give Mitsuru the cold shoulder, but as we’re already aware, that’s not very effective.

And out comes Artemisia, which Weiss manages to parry some of the attacks, and opts to get the hell out of dodge after a quick burst of fire.

The Wasp up there is then sent to fight Mitsuru’s Persona while Weiss opts to fight Mitsuru directly.

But, let’s face it. The Rapier Wasp is a Bug Flying type. So Artemisia takes it down.

And with Weiss distracted, Mitsuru then gives her a kick to the face. That’s the face of someone who was wondering why she was just standing around when there was someone trying to kill you right in front of you.

But Weiss isn’t a fan of being kicked in the face, so she uses her gravity glyphs to make some distance.

And with that distance comes…

The Arma Gigas! Let’s be real, we wanted this fight so that we could see this knight fight Artemisia. After a couple of combos where neither side seems to make any headway, Artemisia then fires some frigid projectiles towards Weiss.

Her Knight, being a gentleman, takes the blow for her.

Weiss charges (with added assistance from her time dilation glyphs) and manages to actually stab Mitsuru.

Unfortunately for her, Mitsuru doesn’t go down that easily. And she uses Artemisia to knock them both down.

Finishing blow in 5…

4…

3…

2…

1…

Imperious Queen of Executions indeed.

Verdict + Explanation.

So, to Weiss’ credit, her versatility put up a decent fight. But she was pretty outclassed in other categories aside from speed thanks to time dilation.

But with Mitsuru’s analytical clairvoyance, that speed gap gets a lot smaller. To the point that Mitsuru’s the one that can outpace Weiss. Not that it matters, Artemisia outpaces Weiss a few times over.

Now sure, the time powers seem like an insta-win, right? Well, maybe that would give Weiss a win in some scenarios, but not all of them.

Since Weiss is extra reliant on Ice Dust, and her other Dusts are fairly lacking, Mitsuru didn’t really have to deal with fire at all. Especially since Weiss doesn’t have the best track record with fire (As we’ve seen from that fire geyser from before).

It also doesn’t help that the explosion from earlier is pretty up there in terms of destructive power. Power that isn’t really that low for anything Weiss had to really beat it out.

Using calculation provided by Boomstick (Yes, you read that right), the calculations can be made through the height of the bridge.

This puts the explosive yield to about.

And this is even accounting for the fact that the person setting it off wasn’t even planning on killing Mitsuru too.

Also, remember those big ice structures that each of them made?- Well, comparing them directly, Weiss’ energy output doesn’t come close. Even if one were to cut Mitsuru’s stat in half, on account that she had help for this feat, Weiss falls short. About a hundred times short to be exact.

At the end of the day, Mitsuru had the power, skill, and durability to take Weiss down. Sure Snow White there had versatility, but at the end of it all,

Overall impression.

I heard from a friend of mine (And I  read  it on the Persona Wiki) that Personas can’t really be seen by non-persona users. Whilst this doesn’t really make much of a difference since it was more exciting to see the Arma Gigas directly fighting Artemisia instead of having it flailing around while the Persona just chipped away at it, it would have been nice to have seen this acknowledged.

Also, I kinda had like… Ten jokes that I could have used for my own end quip, but I’ll just post that to my Deviantart account as a list.

Overall, the results are solid, the animation is good, and it feels well-made. Sure, Weiss’ death could have been a bit more brutal (I would have liked to have seen her shattering with the ice), but as far as underwhelming deaths go, this one wasn’t that bad.

6.9/10. It would have been higher, but we didn’t get a “Bites the Dust” reference for Boomstick’s end joke (The song, not the Stand).

Next Time…

MORTAL KOMBAT! DO do do do dodo doot do do doot do doot do do do!

By the Gods I have been wanting to use Johnny Cage for the story. And having another Nintendo rep is always a plus. This… Is gonna be fun!

Is there a fight that you want me to review? - Send an ask/request, and I’ll look into it!

I had some time to think and I might come up with further suggestions for the anon, if you'll allow me. Strictly Angel/feathered-wings titles.

X-Men: The Hidden Years This is a must-read, IMHO. It's been some years since I re-read it, so I don’t recall much of it besides the amazing last issue (my memory isn’t the best). But I'd suggest it because it's Original Five Team (the good old times, before Wolverine, before the power-ups, before everything) but with a more modern touch in the dialogues. The X-Men (the original, first title that run between 1963 to 1970 for 66 issues) is much verbose and the characterization is clearly influenced by the years it was written (like all 60′s Marvel Comics) and can become quite boring or hard to read. Hidden Years keeps the spirit and the art style but, you know, less verbose. The story takes up when The X-Men closed (to then be revamped with Giant Size and the Second Genesis - the team with Storm, Wolverine, Kurt, Colossus) so perhaps reading some issues from The X-Men would be suggested, but issue #1 acts as a “where were we?” so it isn’t necessary. (there’s also a preview/issue #0 featured in X-Men #94)

If you feel like following the stories of the Original Five, there’s also X-Men: First Class (volume 1, volume 2 and Finals). The characters are indeed modernized (the setting is in the first 2000′s) and sometimes you have a WTF?! reaction, but it’s a good read for a fan of Warren. There are many re-tales about the O5 (some featuring amazing arts like Mythos) but First Class are new stories, that’s why I suggest i. And you can’t miss X-Factor (1986), but that’s a very intensive reading: it happens SO MUCH in the title to all the characters, and from a Warren Fan point of view... woah, yes, very very intense. I would like to add The Champions (1975) and The (New) Defenders (1972 - from #125) , but... not truly a bad ass Warren in there (it becomes quite embarrassing at times), so forget about them anon: just remember that Warren at some point founded(and funded) a superhero team group with the Black Widow/Hercules/Ghost Rider and was part of another team with Valkyrie & others. (if you happened to read Iceman (2017) there’s a two-issue arch (#6/#7) in which Bobby and Warren meet up with their Champions colleagues to mourn Natasha - that’s a good issue, Warren speaking).

Angel: Revelations Pre-X-Men Warren. I have my issues with this title because of the art, which is... quite unique, but that is a very good Warren story. It’s basically the origins of the origins, even before Warren became a costumed hero (yep, Warren was his own hero before joining the X-Men, yet we never got a series on that time and Warren is considered a B-series character most of the time in comics and in the fandom *insert very enraged emoji*). Young!Warren, all characterization, no hero-ing (almost).

Ka-zar (1970) #2/#3 + Marvel Tales #30 Angel is the main character, and there’s his family and Candy (<3). This is a mostly forgotten story but IMHO important.

Tales of Suspense #49 Not much bad ass Warren, and he is a guest start, but if you want to see Warren outmaneuver Iron Man in air, that’s your issue.

Marvel Fanfare #1 to #4 Again, the story is a Spider-Man one, but Warren is a co-protagonist and... really, any story in which he is alone and without the X-Men (in this one the X-Men actually pop up but he isn’t there as member of the X-Men) is worth a reading. At this point I just believe he should be entrusted to a non-mutant title, for him to reach his potential. Which leads to...

Marvel Two-in-One #68 Warren and the Thing. Nothing too memorable, but Warren on his own. Thumbs up.

X-Men Unlimited (vol 1) #17 You didn’t know you needed a Warren with an assault rifle until you see it. It’s a Wolverine story, but Warren gets good part in it.

X-Men Unlimited (vol 2) #8 One of the best (and few) Warren’s one-shot. And, despite all starting from Cyclops and being related to the X-Men, is focused on Warren-the-winged-person, and not Warren-the-X-Men’s-Angel. Short but lovely.

Thunderbolts story featuring Warren mentioned above starts at issue #27(the second best Warren-feather-wings ever, I fear) and ends in #30.

If we want to enter the Warren/Betsy hell (seriously, I want answer about them in the current status quo of the group  😠 😠), Psylocke and Archangel: Crimson Dawn is a must-read. Although it would require the reading of the Warriors of the Ebon Night arch (Uncanny X-Men #329/#330) which spans from the events of UXM #328 (and in Sabretooth's Special)

The rest (and some of most Warren’s best arch and stories) are in his Archangel/metal wings and usually are long arch or arch that need to reading of other arch so we will leave them aside.

I guess that’s all?

(Angel ask) Is there a comic you'd recommend reading with him? 😲

Hey!!! Sorry it took me a bit, but I wanted to make sure I gave you some good recs!!

@hakka84 provided some good recs too!  Excalibur (2005) (there’s only one issue hakka is referring to, but I think the whole story is pretty fun, so do you!) and his cameo in Thunderbolts. (I don’t read Thunderbolts, so I have no opinion on that one) I did like him as "boss" during his co-regency of the team with Kurt (back in the black-leather uniform times) but I know some didn't like that specific characterization of Warren. (Nonnie, you should still check them out. A big part of Warren’s character is that he believes in Xavier’s mission.)

--

One of the X-men series I particularly enjoy was Uncanny X-men (405 issues, yikes) and Angel does play a particularly strong role in the Lovelorn portion of it (4 parts) (link to all the issues: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/the-uncanny-x-men/4050-3092/ )

And (personally) I adore him and Betsy together. It always felt like a good fit that really helps humble Warren because of his better upbringing. So anything with the two of them is fun.

He was also in the Morlock Massacre if you want to check out those comics. It crosses Avengers and X-men, a lot of people got hurt, and it’s later thrown in Gambit’s face. (So much drama with the X-men, man)

And I know that Archangel is a big part of Warren’s character. Most X-men fans know that because he is one of the more consistent horsemen we see. BUT, if you can, read Warren more so as Angel and himself before jumping into all of that. It’s a whole other world of chaos. XD

Hope this helped!!!
