Nail on the head - "The tone of the book needed Lorna to act OOC to fit in."
The more I'm reminded of that title, the more embarrassed by it I get. I don't mean to trash the writer, I hear she has a fanbase of her own... but it really felt like she was just riding the wave into the new era with no real vision or stakes or even care. The biggest "story" in the title was regurgitated (the Morrigan) posed as "closing the door", but was really just an uninspired, low stakes fan fiction with doughnut trees and "Amazing Baby" (introduced by the author's pal, whose work I'd also often call fan fiction like)... I'm grateful Krakoan X-Factor did not have any impact on the rest of the mythos, because it just wasn't worth anything.
Loved her Eye Boy, though. However, he was close to a blank-slate, so it would've been hard to mess him up. He and maaaaybe Prodigy were the only characters who felt appropriate for the tone of the book. Daken was neutered. Northstar and Aurora were inconsistent. I have zero love for where Williams OR Howard took Rachel, and Siryn lacked even a single panel of personal agency - a devastating travesty after such amazing development for Siryn becoming the Morrigan in the first place, and then this author chose to finish the story with a total turd in the fish bowl.
It just embarrasses me. I can't believe this title was allowed to be published.
(That said, I always must address that apparently the author and artists faced some serious online harassment over this series, and that behavior is not okay. I'm sure the author is a lovely person and does not deserve personal hatred)
