Marc Spector, A.K.A. MOON KNIGHT, has failed! With blood on his hands and a fractured team, Marc faces a sort of confessional with his god KHONSHU – who’s known less for his forgiveness and more for his fists!"

This conversation between Scott and Magneto hit way too hard this week.

[arrumiekookie]

Saying I am worried for Quentin Quire is an understatement.

What do you mean? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THIS COVER SAID HE DIED 100 AND HE STILL DIED MORE TIMES THAN THAT... LET'S BE FR RIGHT NOW.

JED MACKAY, I AM BEGGING YOU.

Avengers and X-Men crossover 2024 is... really good

The Avengers show up to The Factory in force and Carol calls on Cyclops to stop hiding.

It's obviously a fakeout and they're here to play baseball. So nice to see zero punches thrown for cheap drama. Carol has a lot of X-Men history and it's wonderful to build on that.

Everyone is here and they're mingling like healthy adults. Beast is here and Storm isn't dead so I assume this takes place before Storm #2 and X-Men #7.

I LOVE this, but I can't help but shake my head that this kind of content isn't in an X-book. If you don't read Avengers #21, you'd have no idea about Magneto's ideological awakening or his current relationship with Wanda. Kinda feels like R-LDS should be solved here and now. Wanda built the mutant afterlife - she knows more about the Resurrection nitty gritty than anyone.

Quentin is still a jerk, no surprise there. Super cool to see Hank and Tony as friends.

They even meaningfully and earnestly engage with the existential nightmare and personal issues Hank is having.

This is satisfying. It doesn't sweep it under the bed - Tony offers his support but Hank's problems continue. Storm was Idie's headmaster for a good while. It's fantastic to call back to that and to Krakoa (though 'not fitting in' is not how I'd describe it.)

Faith and support, vulnerability.

The Dream discussed as a coherent position - an ideology that hasn't worked but implied to still have some value, tempered with hope and adaptability. Not just accepted as a nebulous code to live by or invoke in vague terms.

Lastly, Scott and Carol doing the leader thing. I do think Scott would be honest about the contagion, because it's a frame up, but whatever. Either way they're getting along. Carol says that there's not much difference between the X-Men and Avengers, that they should collaborate more.

She asks if she can count on him and he says yes. Just goes to show heroes don't need conflict to be interesting. What blows my mind is that this issue gives us so much of important things the X-Men book hasn't managed in 7 issues, and it's written by Jed Mackay! This is good stuff, so what's going on in the X-Line? I assume it's an editorial mandate because nothing else makes sense.

Avengers Assemble #4 is very elegant and fits so much into very little space. I finally feel like I get where the characters are at, that they live in a world with other people in it. Mackay writing both means he can do stuff like this, it'd just be good to get their development in their own book, you know?

So what-- do we hug now or something?

I wanted to redraw a comic panel with Reese (I love you Reese) and Marc but have Marc in the MCU outfit, and then I realized that this was just white on white on white and MAN is that hard to colour. Still, I think I did a pretty alright job :)

Hope you like it! Reese if you see this I'm your number one fan and if Jake tries to take that crown from my head I will-- Anyway. Reese and Soldier supremacy. Also I'm tempted to make 8-Ball fanart low key??!!!
