"AiPT!: MagnetoRocks (@MagnetoRocks) highlighted the fact that you’ve said Magneto is your favorite X-Character. What is it about the character that appeals to you most?
Jonathan: That with each passing day he’s, more and more, ideologically ‘of the times.’"
That might be true, but I use comics as escapism. If it completely reflects the crap I see going on in current politics, I'm not interested in wallowing in the same during my leisure time.
Jonathan: "I assume this is based on me posting on Twitter that my Top 5 X-Men are:
Magneto
White Queen
Mister Sinister
Monet
(Tie) Sunspot and Cannonball"
Not to suggest that everyone listed is in the same vein, but I'm really sick of the whole anti-hero vibe. I'm starting to lose my "excitement" for this change. I'm still trying to be optimistic, but someone who puts Emma up there at the top, unless it's to think she is a better villain than an X-Man, does not interest me. In fact, most of the characters on that list have egos the size of Texas, not surprising.
I'd like to hope that there will be a new Excalibur out of this reboot and that Storm has her own book or moves out of the X-books altogether so I can leave the antihero stuff for people who like it.
