Marvel’s mutant heroes return when a remarkable student rushes to save his family but ends up in a whole heap of trouble, in this gripping Xavier’s Institute novel.

Victor Borkowski – aka Anole – has adjusted well to life at Xavier’s Institute, gaining control over his reptilian mutant powers and the respect of his fellow students. However, when he discovers that his parents have been kidnapped by anti-mutant extremists, the Purifiers, Victor’s discipline and trust in the X-Men is strained to breaking point. Setting out alone in defiance of his instructors, he’s quickly in serious trouble. It isn’t just the fanatical Purifiers threatening his family, there’s a villainous scientist waiting to get hold of Victor himself. Maybe he can’t do this by himself after all…

@newx-menfan​ have you heard Anole is getting his own novel?

Two Issues into New X-Men

- I really like Noriko, but I hope she becomes less of a bitch toward Sooraya.

- David I’m already familiar with, but I’m honestly liking him a lot more here than I did in Young Avengers.

- Josh is pretty fun, but I don’t have too strong an opinion on him, Sofia or Laurie yet.

- I love that Dani is their advisor, because Dani Moonstar makes any book better.

- Julian I’m semi-familiar with, he’s as much of as ass as ever and I love him.

- As a big Cyclops fan, I’m pretty happy with how he’s being written so far.

- I’m hoping to see a good amount of focus on the Hellions, because they seem like a really cool bunch (and I’m already a fan of Julian, Mercury and Rockslide).

Overall, I think this is gonna be a fun read. Thanks to @hellyeahteensuperheroes   and @newx-menfan for constantly singing this book’s praises and getting me to read it.

X-Men and their editorial overlords

I was reading last night about how the whole Madelyne Pryor story was originally Scott's exit out of active superhero life, about him finally getting to grow up and beyond the X-Men, and how it was supposed to signal that things would always be changing with the team, people may or may not leave, that in ten years the team lineup might be completely different.

And then editorial wanted Jean alive again and they wanted Scott to be with her. Which meant the entire story and character development got assassinated.

I remember reading an interview with Mark Waid once, where he talked about dealing with editorial while working on an X-Book, and he said something along the lines of, "most of the time in writing comics, you're trying to drive an elephant. But with X-Men, it's more like being lashed to an elephant and hoping it goes the right way."

Anyway, is there any kind of comprehensive list of stories that could have been much different, if the X-Books weren't being 75% written by thr editors? I'd really like to do some brain exercises regarding where the books could have gone.

PREVIEW OF UNCANNY X-MEN 1

Good news, @newx-menfan, at least the “kids” from New X-Men won’t be completely forgotten in this event. Looks like they’ve been assigned to fight the Mutant Liberation Front or something.

Before and After Images Show Extent of ‘Devastating’ Flood Damage in the Midwest

Severe flooding in the Midwest caused by heavy rain and snowmelt has damaged hundreds of homes and left at least three people dead, as water covered farm land and an Air Force base along the Missouri River.

About 200 miles of levees in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas were compromised, contributing to the flooding, the Associated Press reported. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts described it as “the most devastating flooding we’ve probably ever had in our state’s history.”

Three people from Nebraska were killed in incidents involving rising waters, and two men from Nebraska have been missing since Thursday, according to the AP.

“The majority of the levee system along the Missouri River, south of Omaha, continues to deteriorate and is compromised,” Col. John Hudson, Omaha District Commander for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said in a statement Sunday. “The bulk of the levees remain overtopped or breached.

“The duration of flood water impacts is still unknown at this time. I want to encourage residents to continue to monitor the situation and keep in close contact with their local and state emergency management organizations to stay updated on any evacuation plans and emergency conditions,” he said.

The National Weather Service said “major to historic river flooding is forecast to persist for portions of the Missouri and Mississippi River Basins as snowmelt continues over areas that received heavy rainfall last week.”

Parts of Illinois and North Dakota are also bracing for major flooding in coming days.

Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to travel to Nebraska on Tuesday to survey the flood damage with the governors of Nebraska and Iowa, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a tweet.

At @POTUS request, @VP will travel to Nebraska tomorrow to survey the damage from the terrible flooding that’s impacted much of the Midwest. He’ll be joined by @GovRicketts & @IAGovernor. Thank you to First Responders and many volunteers helping those affected!

I goddamn hate the X-men

Any X-men writers or fans come at me for this. Fine. You can ignore my hate for this franchise because honestly, I will never be a fan of this series. Everytime this franchise is mentioned or even brought up in conversation around me, I will be the wet fucking blanket because honestly, it was a concept that never appealed to me or will never appeal to me.

Against my better judgement, I decided to pick up the New Uncanny X-men because I tried. I read and like the post Ultimatum X-men and I guess I am the only person in the world that did. I read and loved the New X-Men series that you just dropped off the face of the Earth for...nostalgia of everything I hate about this franchise.

So I figured that since my good online pal @majingojira loves the X-men and the admin of this blog @filipfatalattractionrblog constantly posts about what is going in comics in general and @newx-menfan has introduced me to the only X-men content that I actually respect is actually despondent about what is going on with you writers. I decided to pick it up and see what is the fuss about.

And my god, we are ten issues in and yeah, I now really hate your series, writers and fans.

I hate the concept of the X-men. I hate that they base themselves around the Civil Rights movement but most of the core characters are white. You want to know what really did it for me? When Wolverine lectured Luke Cage for not understanding the mutant plight.

I will never like the concept of allegorical racism in narrative form in a contemporary when most of the characters are non-people of color. And I sure as shit won’t like allegorical LGBTQI oppression and hatred in a narrative form when most of your characters are coded straight. This is why I tend to like the X-books that stray away from that mutantphobia bullshit or apply whole universe wide so it at least makes narrative sense why Firestar is hated while Johnny Storm is celebrated(and if you didn’t pick up on that reference, post-Ultimatum X-men or the Ultimate Universe in general, super powered people aren’t just not liked in general).

Because if you want to write about racism, maybe you should just use a character of color. If you want to write about LGBTQI issues, maybe you should write an LGBTQI character. The cognitive dissonance is so thick in this fandom that it is an actual commonality where there are X-men fans that are MAGA supporters. Build the wall the lowly tumblr jackass says with Cyclops leading a mutant resistance in his header while touting Magneto is right.

I’m a bi-black man and as of late, I don’t feel particularly empowered or represented in a series that uses the United States History of the Civil Rights movement as it’s core theme. That is depressing. If only Black People created a paramilitary peace keeping taskforce?

Whoops.

And it’s not like you fucking jackasses aren’t aware of the social commentary. The Champions make social justice their core theme and you fuckers do nothing but whine about it, but when the X-Men do it, it is high fucking literature because all of the characters are white. Could you imagine a super powered Black Panthers, Young Lords, Brown Berets, or Yellow Peril? I don’t hate the X-men because it is an outdated metaphor for racism. I hate them because it is a misplaced concept for racism or oppression in general.

So I pick up this series and honestly,  I have to ask this question. Who exactly is this book for? 

It is not for kids as you will literally send kid characters to the sewers and treat them as lesser X-men.

Okay, Jean, your super power and what you are pretty much known for other than dying is pretty much nuclear temper tantrum. You don’t get to call anyone out for being childish, especially since you do not treat any of these kids with respect yet you demand it out of them. Oh and look, here are the few panels where Ororo actually speaks and  says something and isn’t the token black person in the core X-men.

@filipfatalattractionrblog, the admin of the blog, had the right metaphor for this series as it is pretty much baby boomers rule and millennial and Gen Z drool the comic book version. Because outside of Laura who is doing her best Logan impersonation, there are no other young folks and X-23 really does not say anything of substance other than just be the distaff Logan. 

This entire comic book is nostalgia gate keeping. If you aren’t familiar with X-Men lore, then you are lost from the get-go. For example, the chief villain for this series is the alternate universe son of Jean Gray and Scott Summers.

...are you fucking serious?

First off, it shows a lack of commitment. You could have just made them have a kid and kept it in Universe but no, we have the added convoluted layer of alternate dimension for a villain that calls himself X-Man. That’s decades of obscurity and history that you just expect comic readers to grasp and accept as soon as you pick up a book.

And don’t get me started on using older characters that can’t possibly function as gateways for new reader. X-Men is probably the most narcissistic reading experience I’ve seen in comics. And no, not all comics are like this. Spider-Man, if recall correctly, has the highest number of issues in marvel but at any given point or at least at the beginning of an arc, you can pick up a Peter Parker Spider-Man book and don’t have to be familiar with past convoluted plot points especially in the fucking first issue of a new volume.

Your characters are overwritten like reading through the history of Jean Grey is like literary acid trip. Comic books get this reputation of being hard to get into but I don’t think there is a franchise that exemplifies this more than the fucking X-Men.

And it is a quick and easy fix. Use newer characters. I could have picked up the New X-Men comic and binge read all 40 issues without having to know the complicated history of the X-men. And it is not like the old guard weren’t around. It was more that the old guard weren’t crucial to the story. And that is important.

And finally, the nostalgia wankery just turns me off. How many times can you sit there and rerun the same plots from Claremont? You know what I like to do?

When there is a super team being made and I want to come up with a dream roster, I literally go TV Tropes X-Men page and just read up on 2000s and on X-characters. Why? Because they are rarely used and obscure enough to not be weighed down on X-bullshit. I actually get mad at X-Men fans who want to make Kamala a mutant. Say what you want about the Inhumans but at least they diversified and made newer characters and made them a staple. The X-Men’s greatest success since 2000 was X-23 and that was not even something the comic writers made but the cartoon show did. It’s 2019 and Magneto, a Holocaust survivor is still using that as his main motivation to why he hates bigotry?

Don’t listen to me. I hate this franchise and it fills me with glee that the misplaced nostalgia will be the death of you all. Every other Marvel property adapted but the fucking X-Men. I mean fuck, the Fantastic 4 are now the Fantastic 6 with 3 of the 4 married and Johnny Storm wanting to settle down and get married. Fucking Peter Parker had an entire series being married with child. And yet, it appears your characters are in a perpetual state of 80s. God.

Jess

You can’t hide you bisexual thirst from a mind reader ;D

Emma 100% knew she was checking her out the whole time

Your internal monologue is no secret to her :D

Also

@hellyeahteensuperheroes @newx-menfan I know that like me your pissed off at just how shitty that godawful Uncanny X-men ongoing has been treating Emma...I recommend checking out Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter for a chance to see Emma actually get written well and her and Jess are fun to read together (And also very ship-able)

Me: “Man, I sure am loving New X-Men: Academy X. And Kyle and Yost are a great team, so I’m sure their run will be just as good as the first run.”

Me: *Reads Kyle and Yost’s first issue.*

Me: “Fuck this book.”
