X-Men #9 (2020) - "The King Egg"

[laughing_tree]

One of the first things I wrote for Marvel was a pitch document explaining why the X-Men were broken and were going to continue to be broken and did not work anymore, and even though the books sold well, they were going to eventually fail, for these reasons, and this is how you solve it. I wrote that before Axel [Alonso] had his job, I think. [...] The point was, listen, these things that the X-Men have been about for 30 years -- and they change every decade for a good reason -- I argued that they were not timeless eternal themes like "With great power comes great responsibility," and if you're going to crack the egg and save the franchise for the next 50 years, you have to make it bigger than what it is. -- Jonathan Hickman

Has anyone questioned how pheromone control is supposed to influence Brood hives' behavior from across interstellar space?
