X-Men Gold #21 - spoilers

[Del torro]

Wait, I don't understand.
First of all, I Rachel easily beats Mesmero and calls him amateur hour.
Then she gets stronger and he goes to prison
Then they have another fight and he easily wins this time.
How come
How did that happen.
Don't you usually get stronger when you... Get stronger?
Anyway, whatever, this is the same Guggynam who thinks reading all the minds in a city is amazeballs, when the character has easily read all 7 billion minds on the planet. Why am I even surprised?

spoilers:

Okay, the previews for the next chapter shows that it's a ruse, she's not out and attacks him in the next issue

Seems my complaints were for nothing

CBR posted a really awful interview with Guggs today too: https://www.cbr.com/x-men-gold-marc-...ossus-wedding/

I dropped this book long, long ago gladly. The new team is not a well oiled machine? It’s not like none of them have worked together ever. Rogues tutored almost all of the kids and worked with iceman on multiple teams... but of course he will portray them as blithering idiots. And in the end it will be Kitty Pryde against a negative zone god. Great. Totally believable. “You will need as many x-men as you can find” he forgot to end the sentence “as cannon fodder in splash pages so the threat seems really Dangerous for Kitty’s big moment”

HARD PASS

[Havok83]

this issue wasnt bad. Dare I say I liked it?

[planetxmen]

Loved OML leaving, loved Rachel getting spotlight, loved the story of new Avalance & Pyro.

HATED Storm, Colossus & Nightcrawler being knocked out OFF PANEL. AGAIN. IN LESS THAN A PAGE.
This is getting ridiculous now.

I see Guggs new character Narcolepsy has made her triumphant return.

Magik has also been on a team with Iceman.

Some writers aren't subtle about their dislike / disinterest in some characters, huh? I wonder if the book's stock will go down with Old Logan leaving, since he's apparently a big cash cow for Marvel...

spoilers:

looking at the preview for the next issue, seems them being knocked out is just a trick and probably an illusion cast by Rachel,

[Vegan Daddy]

Nothing in this issue made sense.

[Dementia5]

I’m becoming genuinely concerned for Storm’s cranial function at this point.

Which is true, but brings back another consistent problem.

spoilers:

Kitty being the best gosh dang leader the X-Men ever had with her endless amount of brilliant tactics that always work.

where did you get preview?

[True Believer Tony]

So this was good up until the end fight. Colossus, Kurt, and Storm get taken down off panel by a copycat Avalanche and Pyro??? Or was Mesmero doing the heavy lifting? Even so... yikes.

[Knives]

At least like Rachel's new uniform better than the last.

[Rosa Snarks]

I am absolutely SICK of this "storm"
