"David Sexton: gave Not so long ago, there was a magic based mini-series (which I won't name) that climaxed in a battle between a good wizard and an evil wizard. After the evil wizard head-butted the good wizard, it cast a spell on some innocent bystanders by pointing its evil wizard finger at them and uttering that most famous of magical phrases, 'Bang!' Reading that sequence kind of crystallized some of the things I had been thinking about regarding magic in comics. Magic is not a gun. It should look and feel different from technology or from a mutant power. Magic should be depicted in an imaginative manner. Magic only exists in our shared imaginations, so a writer needs to provide that kind of convincing detail in order for the reader to 'believe' in what they're reading...The rules have gotten rather mushy, but 'The Magic Gun Syndrome' can be stopped. If a character or a creature manipulates magic in a new and different way, fantastic, but the reader needs to understand how. The magic has to make sense. Not rational sense, but it should have what Jung referred to as 'Mythopoeic' meaning."

Apparently, this Alchemy guy was the winner in a contest in which readers could design a new character. That explains why he has hardly appeared since. Saves Marvel having to pay the creator any money.

A third Spider-Man title on my read list and of course it is from a different period in time than the other books. I can only apologise for how confusing these posts will become.

Oh no! X-Factor’s lack of respect for Bobby driven him into the arms of the villainess!

Could public opinion of mutants be getting better after X-Factor saved the city? This is the Marvel Universe, what do you think?
