Dark Crisis: Young Justice #2: A Tale of Two Cassies

[superboyprime]

"There are a lot of comics that I absolutely recognize that are problematic, and I still love them because they mattered to me at specific times. And, I'm not saying that all of them were, but definitely to your point, we've moved, we've changed as people, and that's okay. And we are still able to go back and go, you know, I don't love that this was happening, but this was happening, and we can talk about it now. And we can recognize it now. We didn't recognize it then, some of us didn't – I certainly didn't. And so I think it's having that love and wanting to maintain that love but recognizing that you can't stay there." - Meghan Fitzmartin

X-Men '92: House of XCII #4

[superboyprime]

"In fact, I’d say the Animated Series foregrounded the “hated and feared” aspect even more than a lot of the comics did at times. One of the things that struck me when I started my chronological X-read is that there are large swaths of the comics that barely *actively* engage with the mutant metaphor because they’re focused on fun, exciting plots about aliens and other dimensions and magic and whatnot. That’s not a criticism — the line can’t always be about just one thing — but as a kid, I remember the cartoon hitting that beat very consistently. I mean, the pilot sees the X-Men acting as freedom fighters (and their critics would use a less flattering term) for the cause of protecting fellow mutants from government registration. So I do think the X-Men of the early ’90s would feel just as relieved and grateful for a safe homeland and would be just as willing to fight for it." - Steve Foxe
