X-Men Blue: Origins #1 (2023) MARVEL

I know some comic book readers are upset to learn Mystique and Destiny are Nightcrawler’s biological parents, but personally, I think that it is fantastic. When I learned of Chris Claremont’s idea to make the couple Kurt’s parent years ago, I thought it was strange, cool, and would NEVER be allowed at Marvel Comics. So as a queer kid disappointed that this revelation was scrapped in favor of making Azazel Kurt’s father, I found this retcon especially delightful. Is it convoluted? Yes. Is it awesome? Also yes. Sorry, not sorry, Internet trolls. This type of inclusivity and acceptance are exactly what I’ve loved about X-Men for decades. Kudos to Si Spurrier for making it canon. 👏

This is one of best retcons ever and seeing bigoted comics bros cry over this was so funny because it’s originally what Chris Claremont himself wanted to happen in the comics

drew kurt on my flight, redrew a cover I liked for him (in terms of the pose) - still finding my style!! I think he turned out rad though!

This scene with Kitty Pryde & Wolverine might very well be one of the best ways to convince kids to not smoke!

Lol! Same energy as that one Calvin & Hobbes strip:

Bastion keeping Magneto chained up in nothing but his undies is the most Claremont thing that has ever been in any X-Men adaptation.

Really love Wolvie in the red but also finding out that it’s been this long and no one’s ever even asked is so. Y’all be better friends to this poor man.

I will be using this panel for logurt propaganda purposes. The clasped arms? The immediate concern for how Logan is REALLY doing? The fact Kurt knows how to read the pain Logan is hiding? The ‘wow, I’m literally right here’ expression on Mariko’s face? The cheeky compliment?! THE PET NAME?!

They were fucking for sure

WOLVERINE: MADRIPOOR KNIGHTS (2024) #2

I really wish writers would go back to this plot point/were actually brave; since they never seem to know what to do with Angel anyway…

Warren quietly having feelings for Jean, but never acting on them because of his friendship with Scott is way more interesting than the Scott/Logan love triangle.

Going to be honest- I never liked Logan and Jean, nor thought their romance seemed well-developed; I think it COULD have been an interesting story, if Claremont hadn’t been basically pairing them because he was pissed at editorial for forcing him to bring Jean back/write the Phoenix retcon.

It’s funny, because I like Hellion and Laura so much despite hating the original dynamic it’s based off of 🤣🤣🤣

Fear people that go out of their way to call Magneto a simple villain. Step away politely and enjoy your peace.

Claremont didn’t give us a lesson about the importance of perspective just so y’all can still sound like ignorant peanuts; and continuing to do so after the narrative in X-men ‘97 makes it less and less possible to keep up the appearance of ‘decent human being’.

‘Magneto was right’ was never an invitation or an excuse for violence - it was an acknowledgment of his warnings, of his fears born out of first-hand experiences with the bigotry humanity is capable of.

For anyone who’s still trying to twist it or strip it of its nuances, I hope one day you’ll be able to pause, catch your breath, and be willing to have a positive conversation with someone you don’t agree with, but can still understand and accept their perspective. It’s one of the best feelings in the world, I promise.
