Okay, there is something else to think on. Most of the stories are light-hearted or feel-good, but there is one story by Yuji Kaku featuring the most... I can't even think of a word.

Spider-Man: Reign 2 #1
Aug. 1st, 2024 11:45 amcyberghostface
"REIGN was full of tragic and dark absurdity that only a young creator could come up with. A way to challenge the idea of personal power and responsibility. But as I’ve grown older, and after sitting with this story for so long, I started to ask myself this question, 'What if there was a way to go back and change what happened? What if I could fix everything?'" -- Kaare Andrews

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #5
Mar. 12th, 2022 08:30 pmsuperboyprime
"Oh, the usual, you know. Raping your childhoods, using my position to destroy everything you love, displaying opinions you may not agree with and writing with my own voice and personality. All the things people hate in commercial comics these days. And yet, all the things I am specifically hired for. It's a funny old world." - Warren Ellis
"I try to make my art a little more mature. Not sexual but definitely more adult. I think of Spider-Man as more about innocence. There's a naivete, even if it's 'Spider-Man: Reign' where even if he's an old man, there's an innocence to him and a simplicity. With X-Men, it's just adult. It's all these adult feelings and issue like racism and fascism." - Kaare Andrews

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #3-4
Mar. 9th, 2022 06:00 pmsuperboyprime
"There's almost a case to be made that Grant dragged the franchise to the end of the 20th Century, not least by fast-forwarding through the recent history of the superhero comic. The first page of his run is Logan and Scott stabbing and obliterating giant death robots, but within the space of pages, he's reestablished the X-Men as a pacifist team. In fact, they actually fail every time they attempt to default to physical violence to resolve situations, which inverts the whole thing (Joe Casey tried something similar in his Superman run). And then, by the end, he inverts it again with the ultimate act of violence -- loving violence, mind, indulgent violence -- by essentially burning out an entire future. Resetting the X-Men as a team run by sex and violence -- Emma and Scott. And the first thing Joss does is to put them back in the fetish gear, send them out to beat up everyone they see in the name of Acceptance Into The Society -- pacifists in municipal worker's gear didn't cut it, but a crew of gimp suits smacking people around brings them the love of the culture!" - Warren Ellis

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #1-2

"198 was the number of surviving mutants post-House of M, but, really, who did that count? I'm not saying that new mutants will be popping out of the woodwork, but there's some serious geopolitical blinkers happening, still. Do you really think Nigeria or Zimbabwe are capable or willing to count mutant heads? Take Nigeria, a place we all think we know well because of their generous email invitations to enter into banking relationships. The life expectancy in Nigeria is 47 years. 3% of the population is living with HIV. Their water's nine parts poison and their soil is riddled with H5N1 and Lassa Fever. The place is rife with ethnic and religious unrest, they threw a CNN team out a few years ago for daring to report the news, and they only stopped blatantly working with narco-traffickers about a year ago. (Also, when did people start treating Africa as a single country?) You can guarantee that some things that happened in places like Nigeria never made it to the outside world. I'm not saying I want to do a run that's all about looking back, but I think it's worth making sure we can see the entire playing field." - Warren Ellis

"There were problems with GHOST BOX, and apparently the only solution was for me to write a short spin-off piece called GHOST BOXES." - Warren Ellis
