Current Music: She Hates Me // Puddle of Mudd

The origins of this posting came about when I saw this image on e-bay

I thought that this was a lovely sketch-card of Aurora and Northstar by an artist named Sara Richard.

and wanted to see more of her work...

( When I saw THESE images I knew I had a new artist to keep an eye on )

were Young Justice and Generation X. And obviously with the PAD rule, YJ is a no-no but I'd like to share some of my favorite moments from Gen X early on in the run [Issues 1-20] as I've noticed there aren't a lot of posts in the tag for it. This series is also the reason I went from hating the character of Jubilee to loving her as a kid.

( 12 scans from various issues )

( Because I know Chamber has a few fans on S_D )

In my last post I tried to explain the plot to the upcoming mini-event in the X-men books, "Age of X". So I figured why stop now?

In looking over why certain male and female characters are the least favorite, I think I see the common link. These characters have a "more woobie than thou" attitude. They are jerks to characters who act/believe/think in a certain way, when they themselves have more of a right to act/believe/think that way, but don't. Basically, they *should* be sympathetic to the other characters, but aren't.
Batman is a prime example. "I saw my parents murdered right in front of me, so shut up with your emo prattle about using your powers to make the world a better place, but said powers always keeping you separate from that world."

( Nightcrawler example after the cut, with Ian Churchill art. )

Making the pick on my favourite male character was probably a little easier for me than picking a female favourite. There's lots of characters I love, but only one I love and would love to ding round the earhole as well, which elevates this character to a special place in my heart.

I'm talking about Jonothon Evan Starsmore. Or as he's otherwise known, Chamber.

Scans from Generation X issues 1, 4, 10, 11, 41, 42, 44, 50 and Marvel Icons: Chamber #2.

( A whole bunch of scans under the cut. )

angelophile

A brief, set up page from Generation X #2 and then 4 pages from Generation X #3, which finds Chamber in one of those rare moments where his awesomeness isn't tempered by his being a Jerky McJerkface elsewhere in the issue.

Back in the 1998 Generation X Annual, the Gen X kids came into conflict with the granddaddy of all vampires - Dracula. (Possibly because Dracula was pissed at Chamber for being a descendant of his old enemy, Apocalypse, but that's another story entirely.) Anyway, they didn't fare great - Chamber was plagued by nightmarish visions, Paige gets stalked in her underwear (just so you know it really is a Dracula story, presumably) and Jubilee, well, it wasn't her finest hour...

This might possibly prove to be relevant.

( 12 pages of 39 under the cut. )

Prompted by

darkblade's comments here about Utopia going against the X-men's fundimental beliefs, I was reminded of these scans, which I originally posted on S_D 1.0. In which Chamber nicely summarizes that, while Xavier's dream might be for peaceful co-existence between humans or mutants, the X-men have never actually tried it.

( Cynical bastardism under the cut. )

I haven't got a lot of Thanksgiving related scans, but I did dig up this from Generation X #23 which I originally posted back on Scans_Daily 1.0, in which Paige invites Jono back home to the Guthrie's for Thanksgiving.

It carries all the vital ingredients for a Thanksgiving story - namely arguments, angst, fallings out, people (well, okay, Jono) making huge asses of themselves and unnecessary drama.

Perfect!

( Isn't young love grand? )

I keep thinking of more for F-YEAH! Week, so without further ado:

( Here's a few more fist pumping moments. )

angelophile.insanejournal.com

I'm feeling random, so I'm throwing this out there. Why don't we make a theme week of it? We've had One Perfect Moment, so why not the F-YEAH moments - the moments that just make you want punch your fist in the air and shout out a victory yell?

So, I'm declaring it F-YEAH! Week.

( Here's a few to get everyone started. )

dorksidefiker.insanejournal.com

... in which someone does to Jono what I'm sure a lot of people have wanted to, no matter how much they love him.

Two pages under the cut.

( this is the text of the cut )

If I have a perfect moment, this one be one of them. One of those air punching moments and a "oh hells yes!" It's not anything personal against Warren, a character I rather like, but that this moment seemed a perfect response to Chuck Austen's particular direction in personal relationships and a rebuttal to the whole "X-men as family" ethos, which stopped being true some time in the early nineties. Or maybe it's just the art that makes this so... satisfying.

( ONE PUNCH! ONE PUNCH! )

Three pages from Generation X Annuel 1997.

( A habit of blowing faces off )

I was going to repost the scans of Chamber vs Omega Red from Generation X #11 since they were requested, but while I was trawling through the scans I decided to pad the post out some. Some, I present to you the combat stylings of Jonothon Starsmore. Not the world's greatest master tactician, but smart enough to realise that when you're a mutant with powers, there's no reason why that can't be combined with hittting-people-with-blunt-objects-fu.

Under the cut, a selection of scans from Generation X #11, #21, #61, Uncanny X-men Annual 2001, Icons: Chamber #3 and New Warriors #9.

Back before DMZ, Northlanders and Local, Brian Wood did some excellent character work on the final few issues of Generation X. I recall that the old scans_daily got a link from his blog when this was posted there and since it was requested and we seem to be having an unofficial Generation X week, here goes. From Generation X #71.
