X-Men: Blue #18 Review & Spoilers

[Baron of Faltine]

-Warren flirting with Paige gave me nightmarish flashbacks.
-O5 winning against Gen X was PIS to the max
-Kinda salty that Hank didn't bring Ev and Angelo with him


Thank god Bunn gave us the EmmaSean we deserve.

EmmaSean <aka Screaming Diamond> Forever!

3. Sean/Emma was one of THE 90's power couples, even if it was never official. Unlike when she's with Scott, they make each other better.

Indeed, they were the best mutant couple and one of the best couple of the 90's.

I saw the flirting and got icked out, quickly moved on, and forgot blocked it out. I give Bunn credit for remembering the little touches like that but still... Ew.
Chamber and Synch and M should have easily taken out Jeen. Points again to Bunn for remembering the early psionic bio-nuclear furnace that Chamber's chamber was supposed to be. I was hoping to see Jeen use her new power to drain Jono and use him as a battery to power her blasting the others into submission.
If Bunn has any control over these things, I know he'll use the O5's time travel fun to correct mistakes like Synch and Skin's pointless deaths.
Emma/Sean was honestly the highlight of this issue for me.
It's a Bunn X-book. Of course Magneto is the key.

I wish Bun could write a dr Doom/Magneto crossover.

1. Ew.
2. Because Emma makes Tyke uncomfortable.

Sean emma? What a freaking turn off

She and Scott had one of the best relationships in comics
They are such a perfect couple because they bring out the best in each other. Emma's the pessimist that challenges Scott's morals. Scott is the optimist that gives Emma hope.

[MYCMTSC]

Can Bunn just takeover Generation X (with the originals in the front seat) please?

[Havok83]

Amazing issue. The worst thing about the arc is that its moving so fast that we dont get much from the backdrop of the time they hop to

Conversely, I think that Emma and Scott brought out some of the best AND worst in each other. Emma is directly responsible for making Scott a terrorist and vice versa.

I loved this issue so much. I would've killed for one extra issue in the Gen X time period. This story's moving so fast but it kind of feels intentional. The frenetic pace is mimicking the 05+2's sudden shifts and race to save time.

[PrezValentine]

With no one calling him out on the fact he has a girlfriend, I'm taking this as more confirmation that he and Laura split up.

I'm pretty sure their relationship is in the same situation of Sam and Misty. Aaron wants Sam with Jane and Barnes wants him with Misty, so they ignore each other. In this case, Bunn and Taylor are the ones ignoring what the other writes.

[Silver Fang]

Sorry, Bloodstorm. You'll always feel a little left out when it comes to Jean and Scott.

I loved seeing Emma and Sean this week. I also missed Bunn's Monet.

Maybe we'll see her again. His Blue team is getting new members. He didn't disclose who. But with GenX ending, Monet is free I would think. With the GenX cancellation, I am guessing Strain knew about it in advance -enough time to decently wrap up her story. Least I would think writers who get books cancelled know early enough to have time to adjust and wrap up as best they can.

Bunn also mentioned a lot of the threads he started in UXM, he did plan to address. Monet may be one of them. Of course Magneto. lol Give him Creed back too, and I'd be ecstatic.

So the O5 that replaced the time-displaced ones turned out evil? This is giving me BotA flashbacks. It's time for these kids to go.

Its reminding me of Shadow-X, the Dark X-men from New Excalibur

That’s exactly what I thought too but probably even Marvel doesn’t remember them.

[RLAAMJR.]

Would you call this... a Penance stare?!

Penance is so awesome!

Funny that evil "Cyclops" was using his 616 Phoenix Five costume, not even the Dark Phoenix one, but the regular one.
