X-Factor #2: Suite No. 2 Mojoverse Sonata XF .3, Op. 45, Danse Macabre

“Ann Nocenti’s and Arthur Adam’s original Longshot mini-series wherein Mojo first appears is still breathtakingly prescient to me. Ann was getting her master’s degree in media studies at Columbia University at the time she was creating this world, so she was reading a lot of McLuhan and Chomsky and internalizing the complexities of mass media and public consumption. She created a visceral horror of a zeitgeist with the Mojoverse and in the Longshot mini-series we see this hellish visibility navigated by a non-macho, more or less androgynous protagonist. Ann Nocenti is one of the ground-breaking pioneers of Marvel storytelling that I owe my livelihood to.” - Leah Williams

This continues to be a completely bonkers series.
And with everything else I've seen from Leah Williams, everyone is at least a little queer, a little horny, and a little off-character from what I'm used to. (yes, even by the new horny, off-character Krakoa standards...) Fun, but very very enthusiastic and sometimes exhausting just to read.

But at least she feels like a writer with a genuine love for the material, and that in its own right is important.

I don’t know, if anything the characters are less horny than usual (usual being Krakoa standards).

Alright, I'm easy, the pup is adorable.

[superfangirl1]

Aww, at the cute adorable pet at the end. This got very nice art.

It's amazing to me that even in the Mojoverse streaming platforms have standards of conduct

[donnblake]

Presumably convoluted, vaguely worded, and inconsistently enforced ones that leave content creators always aware that their work might be taken down, demonetized, or simply vanish off the search algorithms with little no to reason given and a wildly unhelpful appeals process.
