Sunday Subtext for X-fans

[bluefall]

Hey, ejne7 beat me to the subtext punch this week! Is this catching on? :D?

I've recently been introduced to Generation X and the glorious snippy, contentious, intense and subtexty relationship between Jubilation Lee (who still has the single best name in all of comics) and Monet St Croix.




... but the more subtle adorableness of the hand-holding in this panel was the scan that really got me interested.

That Monet was more interesting than the real one.

definately. Peter David writes her as just a generic arrogant type. The original Monet just knew she was better than you and was only slightly obnoxious about it.

The Monet I remember in Gen-X was completely obnoxious about it. Maybe not deliberately, but there was very little to actually like about her, never mind exactly work out why she stayed with the team.
