We are MUTANT..Krakoa, FOREVER!!! “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”
It's a shame that Emma only seems to get written well in AUs. Age of Moira is no exception. Hopefully when this god awful Hickman period is gone, she'll still be written well.
I love the Dawn of X. I think Emma is going to be fantastic in Marauders.
Hickman has Emma's voice so well, I am hoping Duggan can maintain it and keep it going. The fact that Duggan loves writing her and that his wife is helping him pick outfits for Emma to be wearing in the book is a good sign since it sounds like they both love Emma as a character.
To me Emma has gotten so much closer to her Generation X portrayal and I am perfectly ok with that. I can't wait to see how she recruits Kate Pryde into the Hellfire Club as the new Red Queen.

I have to disagree completely about Dawn of X, sadly.
All of the X-Men are acting like brainwashed sycophants. The reason morally grey characters like Magneto and Emma worked is because they were juxtaposed against the black of Sinister and Apocalypse and the white of the X-Men. Now everyone is either grey or black, and the dream is dead. There's nothing to root for. Absolute best case is complete worldwide segregation. Worst case is mutants culling the humans to prevent the annihilation of mutantkind.
This is not why the X-Men fought, why the X-Men bled, why the X-Men died.
I'm enjoying Hickman's portrayal of Mama and the rest of the X-Men currently. He just needs to work on his Jean but otherwise I'm loving his work

I totally understand how you feel. All I can say is give it a chance.
To me Hickman is trying to start from a "dark point" and his run will gradually make things more light/heroic
Also, remember.... they acknowledge in dialogue they're keeping Essex/Darkholme/Exodus around "to watch them". Plus they banished Sabretooth. So there IS some moral lines drawn. And one of their laws is even "Don't kill humans."???? So I mean... yeah. Try to keep an open mind please.
Forget the old ways - Krakoa is god.
