A time when Jono WASN'T a dick to a girl

While I work on my Many loves of Chamber post, I thought I'd bring you all some scans of Jono NOT being a dick to a girl.

From Generation X issues #3 and #4.

It's too bad that whole Penance thing eventually got really stupid, the initial setup was nice.

He's only a dick to women he fancies, though.

Well, I say only... He can be a dick to pretty much anyone, but only by coincidence.

Honestly, that;s what I love about him. He's capable of being a huge idiot and utter jerk and then you have stuff like... this.

And what became of these two wonderful characters? *sigh* I miss early Gen-X

One can't use her original name since it was taken by EmoBall, and the other has Pokky-Lips and had his series canceled.

Don't forget, the title she was appearing in under her new name was also canned.

If you mean Loners, it was a limited run in the first palce. If she popped up somewhere else, I haven't heard about it.

That's one of the reasons I worry about series that aren't creator-owned. Really great premises are frequently wrecked by terrible writers that try their hand at the payoff. Penance and M's case (And actually Jono's too) is a sad example of this. I was honestly hoping for years that resolution would get retconned.

Like the man in the scans said, life is risk.

Ugh.

Thank you for reminding me why long, drawn-out caption boxes are no longer widely used like this.

And why is Jono talking... with long pauses... for no good reason.

I always assumed it was because he was very new to using telepathy at this point, having blown his chest off at most a few months ago.

.... I love comics.

THIS! This is why this is my Marvel OTP!

Hee! I should have remembered S_D's motto.

Loved the art and writing in this early stuff. Such a shame that it essentially got killed off for event books.
