X-Factor #7: Scientia Vincere Tenebras

[superboyprime]

"Jean-Paul is canonically anti-establishment and proud of his identity as a gay mutant, so coming out of AOXM would have very clear implications on his emotional state. He’s angry and traumatized and has always been an agitator who pushes against the establishment. Asks a lot of questions. Instigates. So tracking down missing mutants is a righteous and natural fit for him, now." - Leah Williams

I mean I'm hoping this new status quo sticks around for good long after Hickman is gone. The X-books are finally interesting again and I don't want things to revert to the Xavier School and them wasting their time "Protecting a world that hates and fears them" and all of that nonsense. I want the new, more interesting and more fun set up we've got going here to persist and for them to keep doing new and cool things with it

And yeah I genuinely hated every single thing about Rosenberg's run from the way he wrote the characters to the moronic plot to the depressing misery fest that was every issues indidividual story. It's so good to see mutantkind standing up for themselves and getting what they're owed in this new status quo especially after that nonsense where the X-men were cowering in a basement and acting as lapdogs for a bunch of human losers like the AVENGERS of all people (God I hate the Avengers)

Meh, there was a lot wrong with the book but I think that last point is more of a personal issue than one with the book.
