We Already Know How To Die: New X-Men Appreciation 2019

[Uncanny X-Man]

I'm speaking more so in regards to the 2003 New Mutants series that introduced many of the characters than the later Academy X. If that series had a single panel aside from covers that wasn't awful I must have missed it somehow. Academy X admittedly did seriously better in the art department, but very little of the narrative carried over into Kyle/Yost's run to the point that it's largely an unnecessary read for research purposes. Kyle/Yost is when they actually start to have some form of significant impact to the X-Men as a whole, if all you do for research is look over those issues I wouldn't blame you for not registering who Wind Dancer is.

While I do agree that New Mutants (vol. 2) and the early Academy X run are not strictly necessary to understand and enjoy Kyle & Yost's run, I think it's fun to experience the dramatic shift in tone from those early DeFilippis/Weir stories to the post-Decimation stuff. I think it all flows pretty organically and, as much as I love the original New Mutants, I think the book benefitted immensely when the focus shifted 100% of the kids.

Aw that’s actually kinda sweet. I don’t really have a problem with Glob (or any other non-New X-Men kids, there’s only three X-Men characters I hate and they’re all older).

But man, everything from Disassembled onwards has just been... oof.

Dust in Champions #5. I hate that now as soon as I see Ramirez's art, I can only think of Loa and Blindfold.




Also, it's the funeral issue for a certain lupine mutant in Uncanny X-Men #17. Does anyone think Elixir will be able to get in a word?

1) Let's please not revisit that storyline.

2. Let's definitely not wish for Rosenberg to get his hands on another NXM member.

No, why would he? Rahne is simply someone he briefly hooked up with ages ago and hasnt had anything to do with in years. Josh himself is very removed from the X-men and doesnt really associate with them. Assuming he's still on Asteroid M, likely doesnt even know about whats happened anyway

Rosenberg: For yall New X-Men fans out there, a member may be getting a special role in my story.

NXM fans: Is...is that a threat?

i know they would never do that but it would be funny to bring up at her funeral. plus all the kids she did have a connection to are either dead or in Age of X-Man

To be fair Rahne and Josh were on X-Force together, he helped save her when she was dying from her Asgardian pregnancy

I completely forgot about that

What happened to Rahne's kid?

Guido shoved a spear in him.

It's a plot point that they have no healers available. Elixir won't be showing up.

Guido shoved a spear in him.

That's pretty sad.

[Ultimate Rogue]

That's pretty sad.

It was a truly shocking moment for me when I read it, poor Rahne

and Tier (the kid) and Hrimhari (the dad), of course
