Playing big happy family reunion, like the cuties they are. Obviously Idie would sit with the kids... Illyana is a cutie patootie too.

Scott is so happy to just share a meal with people he cherishes... I am sick. I love them all so much.

Quentin really is enjoying that meal, damn. 😂

Glob and Beak catching up... cute. 😭

Brings back memories from New Mutants, when Angel, Beak and their children were in trouble.

Happy Thanksgiving to them.

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?

The two teams of X-Men along with Calico, Jubilee (in the wrong outfit) and Beast (who is oddly absent in the fighting sequence) are fighting off the Sentinel Hounds and the brainwashed Mutant Trustees in the corridors of Graymalkin Prison. They are bantering each other and fighting their opponents at the same time. Meanwhile, Kwannon and Nightcrawler are walking along the secret passage debating on which mutant prisoner to free. Nightcrawler knows that freeing Omega Red is a bad idea because he is unstable and is likely to turn on them any time. At the Prison Control Room, Warden Corina Ellis is throwing bitchy hissy fits by berating and slapping anyone around her for not doing their jobs right. Corina orders Phillip Scurvy the crippled psychic mutant to use more psychic powers on the X-Men.

Back to the corridor of Graymalkin Prison, the two exhausted X-Men teams have defeated the Sentinel Hounds and the brainwashed Mutant Trustees. Rogue and Cyclops start to argue each other on whether they could free Charles Xavier from the cell. Rogue wants to free Xavier from prison. Cyclops is against the idea because not only that he witnessed Xavier killing the innocent human astronauts (which Xavier was actually doing that to trick the Orchis into leaving the mutants alone by pretending to join them in helping to wipe out humanity), Cyclops was also gaslit by Xavier for years as an X-Man. Then, the squabbling X-Men are interrupted by Phillip Scurvy who uses his powerful force of telepathy on the mutants. Even though Juggernaut is wearing the helmet, he is struggling through the mental attack and he tries to pry the cell door open. However, Juggernaut stops doing that when he hears a familiar voice behind them. It turns out that Charles Xavier is not in the X-shaped cell and he is right behind them, walking alongside with Nightcrawler and Kwannon.

X-Men v7 #9, 2024

It seems that the artists who did the pages of the fighting sequence, forgot about Jubilee's prison outfit. Earlier on, Jubilee was wearing the prison jumpsuit in the previous chapters, yet in this issue, Jubilee is shown wearing the yellow coat and full black bodysuit.

Jubilee wore the red prison jumpsuit in X-Men #8 and Uncanny X-Men #7.

In this issue, Jubilee is shown wearing her yellow jacket and full-body suit in the fighting sequence.

Yet on the same issue, Jubilee is back to wearing the prison suit again except that it's yellow.

Besides the artists and colorists, it looks like the X-Editors are really sleeping on their jobs!

It's them, your honor.
