XMEN BLUE #15: Mojoworld Finale! Spoilers and Discussion

[WhiteQueenEmmaFrost]

What at enormous waste of time this was.

Kitty and Rachel being the most anti-Magneto is the biggest bullshit.

She has the same attitude with Emma Frost.

Honestly she's like a lot of the fans. Holding onto grudges about one side of the story "Emma/Magneto did this and I'll never forgive them!"

Meanwhile Colossus offers up the balance of everything else Magneto has done that is good...it makes Kitty look bad and sad.

Those are two wildly different situations.

Loved this final issue to cap off the first (and hopefully not the last) crossover between X-men Blue and Gold. Any story involving Mojo can't take itself too seriously. Mojo is basically the walking embodiment of an eccentric comic relief. He's the kind of character you use to sort of take the edge off a story that gets too serious or bleak. I think this crossover arc achieved that. Mojo was unapologetically meta the whole time, poking fun at all the X-men's major moments and even making light of character deaths. In a sense, he embodies the very spirit of this message board at times.

The final conclusion in this issue brought it to a satisfying close. Love the big team reunion and Magneto's arrival at the end. It wrapped things up nicely. Sure, it wasn't the most dramatic story of all time, but it was entertaining and what more can you want from a comic these days?

Yeah, I enjoyed this crossover and the finale made for a really strong finish. Good stuff.

I will say that I'm glad it's over just because I'm really eager to get to the next Blue arc, Cross Time Capers! Ever since we learned that Magneto had a time machine, I'm been dying for the book to get back to that.

Molina is SUCH a talent. I love and admire his line work so much. Every seam on every suit has such precision and care.

Yep. That was 90% of my motivation to even read these past BLUE issues for this arc, the great art. Also it was kind of interesting what they did with Longshot re: Mojo

The angst over BLUE working with Magneto was ridiculously contrived and absurd, thankfully it ended quickly.

>Absolutely beautiful art. Pity it seemed impossible to keep a single artist on the Gold issues during this x-over.
>I have issues with the finale. I was hoping that something meta, something non-pew pew punch punch would be the way Mojo was defeated, possibly involving Longshot's pirate channel. Alas no. Mojo's devices being susceptible to an EMP somehow seems lame for a extradimensional being who uses magic to enslave an audience/empire.
>A perverse, spineless, blob of fat running a 'news' corporation with a sinister agenda? A bit too on the nose but perfect at the same time.
>Nice to see that, in an issue featuring Spineless Ones, Colossus grew a spine and stood up to Kitty's nonsense.
>Why did Nightcrawler need Kitty to help him escape Ma'gog's grip? Kurt, you know, teleports for a living. And Kitty no longer cares about causing serious damage to her enemies? Selectively phasing through a living being must cause serious and permanent damage but Ma'gog and Gog are magic-based, right? They'll be fine. I wonder how Whiplash's leg is doing...
>Teen Angel was finally partially useful.
>Iceboi was so precious with his little bulked up body.
>Jeen and Tyke. Bless it, just let it happen. Hell, let Jimmy be the one to tell them both to stop pussyfooting around and just be together, learn from the future and be better. If a Wolverine has to be involved in their relationship, let it be that way.
>Danger's assault on and comments to Mojo win this issue, though.
>I laughed when Mojo blasted Longshot's camera drone while yelling, "Don't touch that dial!"
>With omega level psionics like Jeen and Rachel, why was there need for any physical fighting at all? And why does Jeen continue to want to punch things with her psi-enhanced fists? The two of them could easily have brushed aside and put to sleep everyone in that room. Storm and Bloodstorm could have zapped everyone with lightning. Etc.

Favourite Panels...
Jean's head is turning all fiery, eh? Hi, subtle yet noticeable increasing Phoenix influence.

Beautiful Gog transformation shot. Also... Geez, Bloodstorm! This is a conversation, among many, that should have happened in the middle of the book.

Yay, Danger!!!

No they're not. There have been quite a few stories where Emma & Kitty have worked together without Kitty having a chip on her shoulder.

I don't remember Emma was in X-Men: Evolution.

[Mitteloss]

Just a... GLORIOUS... finale!

Fantastic! So great to see Lorna have this moment around the other X-Men!

[Havok83]

I don't remember Emma was in X-Men: Evolution.

She wasn't. The show was cancelled before she could make her appearance. He might be referring to Wolverine and the X-men?

[Digifiend]

Probably, Emma had a major role there.
