This is what happens when I sleep in haha.

It was slower but also at the same time, there was more action than there had been in the book before now - it just does less to push the narrative, which is fine. I liked Jean's tactic with the civilians and the soldiers.

You've GOT to either stop using these newfangled terms or provide a glossary. I'm a tired middle-aged lady and I can't keep up.

I'm turning 30 soon and I can't keep up.

Now that’s a real X-Men team.

Would be better suited to double shipping. Storm was basically relegated to observer this month.

It seems a good issue, much better than the bum that was Gold this week.

Jean's first major outing as a fully organized team and it's against a whole country (or at least its government/military).

Girl dreams big.

Is that a baby bump for Ororo?

This is an oasis in a sea of X-terribleness so far this week.

Jean about to drop a rap album

Jean’s dialog is embarrassing. And so is her Utopia 2 bubble, like lol what could go wrong.

Wake me when Cassie and Rachel show up to wreck some ****.

It's...upsetting that this could've been a conversation about the complexities of intersectionality and how different oppressed groups can still be disadvantageous to others while being disadvantaged themselves. Instead, it comes off as an oppressed group trying to get their oppressors out of a safe space, only to be ridiculed and framed as the antagonists of the story.

I love x-men red and I hear you but I also loved Dazzler. I hear what you're saying, but in reality, I found, that's what "I'm oppressed more and you should be spit on" actually looks like. Yours is a more intellectual, nuanced SJWish version of bullying; in reality it usually just comes across as bullying (having seen it from both sides in all my own intersections). Justified bullying to be sure, but still bullying.

I think it's a challenging topic to bring up, but if anyone in the mutant community would oppose Minority Du Jour getting Mary Sued, it's Dazzler.

But that's very relevant to Red, too. Takes everyone to turn the hate off and not just ping-pong back who's the oppressor, which is so much of what Red's about to me.
