From X-Men: The Wedding Special

I'm a little surprised Pixie got to be a co-protagonist of a Pride story and didn't have her sexuality labelled, but I'm choosing to headcanon her as biromantic asexual after this. She was explicitly bi in the AU story of Secret Wars Runaways and then almost kissed Nico in 616's Runaways and she also fails to read sexual subtext twice in this story and that is a #mood to me.

Also, uh, i don't think there's any aspec rep in the Pride special if this doesn't count, so let me have this plz.

NYX #2 (2024)

Laura Kinney and her friends are going to the Dazzler concert when the former (Laura) sees someone familiar. It's Local, the mutant technopath minion of Mojo. Local wants Laura/"Scratch" to follow him (though he doesn't know that "Scratch" is actually Laura Kinney doing her undercover work) into the room while her friends must stay outside and mind their own business. As Laura's friends insist on following them, Local (under Mojo's control) is working on another scheme - Local using his technopath abilities to insert subliminal frequencies in all of the Dazzler concert recordings. Laura Kinney, Kamala Khan and Prodigy follow Local to the recording room while Anole and Sophie Cuckoo stay behind to watch over the concert for any sign of danger.

Laura, Kamala and Prodigy find Local in the recording room where they try talking him out from disrupting the concert. However, Mojo has taken in full control of Local that he zaps Laura while the tentacles snare Kamala and Prodigy. Meanwhile at the concert, Sophie and Anole are trying to tell the concertgoers not to look at Mojo on the screen but it doesn't work as the crowd are too hypnotized to listen to them. Everyone seems to be doomed until a mysterious girl arrives to save the day with her time manipulation powers. Laura Kinney looks up and recognizes the girl as Kiden Nixon, the old friend from a run-down neighborhood at New York City. Seriously, there are way many freaking superpowered people in New York! Anyway, Laura cries in tears of joy as she hugs Kiden in a reunion. Then, Laura and Kiden depart the place, leaving Prodigy and Kamala confused. Also, Local had fled the scene. In the end, the Dazzler Show eventually goes on as well as Anole, Kamala, Sophie and Prodigy watch the concert.

NYX #6 Review

*Spoilers!*

Kiddddeeeennn !!!

The issue starts with Kiden dancing in the rain while going to a “Dazzler concert”…(the scene is really GORGEOUS here!!)

Kiden is soliloquizing about people being a trap… (this is what being friends with Laura DOES to YOU lol)

Kamala is basically me at a concert… that was basically how I was when I recently went through security for Charli’s Sweat Tour…😬😂🤣 (I WISH I could be Anole 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Does Sophie still have her powers when she says “Cuckoo”? (Idk, this plot point admittedly doesn’t make much sense to me…)

While walking through the venue (they should really be getting into the merch shop line-amateurs…), Kamala is worried she’s not taking the “no contact” with her sisters well…and apparently becoming addicted to video games…

Anole is basically eye-fucking everyone at the venue (GET IT VICTOR 🤣🤣!)

We get a sleight of hand from the writers- it’s NOT actually Kiden, but LOCAL, that Laura smells and is kind of fixating on! (sorry Kiden…you’re too good for Laura anyway!)

Local then shows up to basically hit on Laura/tell her to “stay out of his way”. (Playing hard to get- copied from the Hellion Playbook!)

The team FINALLY remembers the Mojo plot exists. (I get it… Hellion was WAY MORE exciting…)

Prodigy has of course the RIGHT reaction (“Oh Fuck” indeed!)…

Dante is promptly dent to the merch line while they deal with the baddie (finally- it’s 100% going to sell out of all the good items guys!) and Dante offers Sophie to come with and be in the “normie group”…she promptly declines…

Kiden narrates how Mojo has basically been taking homeless mutants and how she didn’t trust Mr. Friendly (and apparently DOES kind of think Laura is a shit friend too!)

The team springs into action while Sophie feels awkward on her secondary team with Anole (sorry Sophie!), while Local brakes into the sound booth.

Prodigy calls out Local and Co.’s evil plan to insert a subliminal message into the music to use Dazzlers fame to essentially get followers (so…TikTok?😂🤣)

Local argues that it’s the same as what they did at the protest (let’s not rehash that last issue, Local…) and that Mr. Friendly is the only one helping homeless mutants (which is TRUE- even BEFORE this event Xavier and Co. We’re terrible at helping the Morlocks…)

Laura talks sense into Local and Local admits to Laura that if he goes back Mojo, he will kill him…but sadly Mojo has already taken over Local’s body… (🥺)

Mojo works the crowd like a BOSS…while lamenting how generic this evil villain plot is (not your BEST work admittedly, Mojo)…

Kiden busts onto the scene to save the day and beats everyone (GO KIDEN!!) and decides to catch up with Laura…while they just…let Local escap? (But the CONCERT guys!!….Seriously though…I get it…I would probably turn the other cheek if I had TS tixs too lol)

Laura totally up and leaves with Kiden without saying goodbye to the rest of the group (AKA probably hooking up with Kiden😘😘!)

Back to the Local subplot…we see Mojo has apparently adopted parasocialism… (but has he read Mark Fischer???)

Review:

This issue was good- fun. Don’t have a lot of complaints.

I didn’t really LOVE the art- some panels, like the rain were gorgeous…some were a letdown…

Dante is still just kind of awkwardly there…but Anole is slightly better in this issue.

My biggest gripe is how NICE Kiden was to Laura and basically letting her AGAIN back into the fold despite Laura being a shitty friend (I felt similarly irritated with Jubes in X-terminators barely saying anything to Laura basically ignoring her for months) …but I feel like that’s potentially COMING in the NEXT ISSUE!

Theories:

Kiden is working for SOMEBODY… either the new Quiet Council or Mojo…and Laura just got kidnapped…

Her POV sounded way too bitter and Laura randomly disappearing, sounds like we are finally going to see someone TURN on LAURA…

I was kind of wondering if Lil Bro, Tatiana, or any of the others in the group are being held/controlled by Mojo…

It would 100% be HILARIOUS if Kiden, Synch, AND Hellions formed a group of basically “Laura’s EVIL EX’s” 😂🤣😈
