Uncanny X-Men #189

[iamrman]

Selene makes her Hellfire Club debut. It would be a shame if a pair of vengeful mutants went ahead and spoiled the occasion.

The mandatory bit of mind control is only temporary and the girls break free.

I’m sure Rachel trying to murder villains won’t become a recurring theme.

I've seen people remark that they want more dialogue and narration in their comics to better put across characterization, citing Claremont as a " good " example of that.

I'd like to hope that they're not asking for things like Sebastian Shaw spending half a page explaining how being forcibly ensconced in rock is a threat to him.

I can forgive that one on this one occasion, since it's Selene's big entrance to the Hellfire Club, and it's her first meeting with Shaw.

Given how his powers have always been shown to be able to deal with any physical attack before, it's worth emphasising that Selene has powers which CAN stop him.

You have a point though, as this is NOT going to be the ONLY time Claremont explains what she does and why it's a threat to Shaw.

I've seen people remark that Claremont sometimes lets his fetishes leak into his work. Can't say why.

The lesbian domination and French maid outfits are essential to the plot.

Putting Xavier into thigh-highs has to be a kink, though.

"Putting Xavier into thigh-highs has to be a kink, though."

No no, that was just the Eighties.

As the Eighties weren't a kink.

More like Claremont sometimes lets his work leak into his fetishes, amirite?
