Lorna news.... with the 20th anniversary of The Twelve Sage for her happening now and her time on Genosha next year I wanted to know if Alan Davis who wrote both had a plan in place in regards to Lorna so I asked.
He responded that he never really had a plan for Polaris. He was asked by editorial to do the Twelve Saga and did and was told to deal with a few issues with Magneto and did and he created the outline for a Magneto/Genosha arc for them to use that he didn't think he could execute in the time he had. That outline probably became Dark Seduction.
Much of her Genosha storyline it turns out was ad hoc improvising with little long term planning. We know Austen's prospective as I asked a few years back. The only person who really hasn't been talked to about the whole deal to date is Grant Morrison. He hasn't said much beyond it then this in any interview I have seen. Though if anyone knows if he has talked about Ambient Magnetic Fields as an issue feel free to post.
I think it could work in a team up mission that is a lot darker then the one she will be doing with Jean as in the sort of thing that needs to be done for Krakoa, but the council very much should not know about. High stakes political intrigue and the like.
That could actually really work. The key would be making it very different from the Jean/Emma team up.
I want their relationship when its tried again to actually work and fans to be intrigued by it. Every decade since the 60s their relationships is tried together in one or two comics. It never takes off. After over a half century of attempts I would like to see the next one succeed.Well I was thinking of them like Austein wrote them, old friends who used to hang out to have fun and go from there to a more serious relationship, similar with Lornaīs talk with Cyclops, just a little less serious and more playful. Also given Jeanīs kind of close minded perception of Magneto it would be interesting to see contrast that with Lornaīs own pov and experiences.
Austen and Morrison tried their best resurrecting it, but I would be lying if I didn't say they failed. Morrison produced easily more then a hundred times the fan interest in Jean and Emma interacting with a couple of their lines post Genosha then I have ever seen as a fan from Lorna and Jean.
Happy go lucky stuff with some Magneto issues thrown in we have seen. Jean knows Lorna is closer to Magneto then she would like and has known since 1968, but neither of them care exactly and didn't when Magneto out to rule the world. Its hard to see him working better as a conflict source when he is being ordered around by Scott.
I don't see a way to un-deep freeze their relationship in the current set up that Marvel would agree to. I did promote some ideas to Jordan White. Perhaps when relations among the factions on the island fray and schisms build there will be more opportunity though I doubt it.
