"The history of X-Men comics, in particular, is one of wrestling with serious political and cultural issues so this seemed like the perfect lane for me to be in if I wanted to bring these issues up. I wasn’t trying to impose this on the comic, instead it was the situation itself that demanded some kind of reckoning with these issues.

He’s a better character than that. Not a better person, but a more interesting character than that." - Victor LaValle
