Warhunt 2.
i should say that I'm way behind on my “current” x-men reading and some things here will surely reflect that. Banshee. i miss irish. damn shouldn’t he be healed by now? how long’s he been out of commission? so he’s jogging on muir isle and jimmy Proudstar jumps him and hauls him off. his pissed about his brother’s death.
umm...why didn’t i remember Charles Xavier: Gay Rock Star?
THe Morlocks. Were they addressed in the House of M story-line? Or were we just to assume that they were all “just plain folks” during the reign of Magnus? anyway, it’s good to see the alley again. Callisto says it is a mile beneath the surface of manhattan, with branching lines all over the state. And i never wondered who built it. so now i’ve got to find out. when was it introduced into the mythos? who created it? Callisto, in a classic claremont rant, speaks of humans hunting mutants, of a race war that she’s ready to fight. And only now do we have a resonance in the rest of the marvel universe along those lines? When written well the x-men should always be the leaders of a movement. a perfect metaphor for civil liberties.
then we’re off to the rocky mountains with roulette and empath. hellions and jimmy’s classmates at the Massachusetts academy. where’s emma? haven't seen here in a while. since she had a sort of change of heart after getting storm’s powers somehow. see I'm lost again. and ooh Firestar. always loved that costume. she looked nude. don’t know her back story. Empath’s got her all “oh yes manuel! yes! yes! yes!” is he fucking everybody?
danger room training with cannonball. it’s weird how claremont writes the new mutants so differently here in uncanny than he does in their own book. look at Wolvie there lighting up in the danger room! damn i miss when you could smoke in the marvel universe. how does that censorship happen? and that’s clearly a cigarette and not a cigar. love ya logan. Charlie makes an entrance (he can walk by the way) with that gay stud outfit on. what the fuck is he thinking, walking around like that? it’s even addressed by the team. he’s gotta be flaunting right?
storm’s on a ship to africa. she’s all fucked up.
xavier in a bubble bath! hot damn! hell everyone’s toweling off in the situation room. this is so Real World.
Off to NORAD for...some reason. what’s going on, then? xavier is take easily, lockheed runs away, rachel cries, kurt beats himself up, the hellions just walk in, the general freaks out, Secbots are deployed, kitty and logan find banshee and fight jimmy and get gassed, firestar starts to slip out of empath’s control, rouge takes her powers, wolvie gets bad ass, empath faints, soldiers shoot at Nightcrawler despite the fact that he’s carrying roulette (jesus!), secbots find wolvie and kitty, rachel cries again, jimmy has a chance to kill chuck but doesn’t.
and boom, we are back in the mansion. guess everyone got out okay. Lockheed comes home. angelica and jimmy are offered a place in the school but decline.
then a nimrod epilogue. he’s in some guy Jaime Rodriguez’ house. he decided to kill the x-men. imagine that. umm...how does he walk around looking like that?
