Father Duggan, if you are out there listening, please let Kate call Rachel her ‘matey’.

aside from Coipel the art wasnt exactly stellar. boatloads of set-up for a completely unsatisfying conclusion (arkea's girls just..give up and sell her out lol. after like 6 issues spent bringing them together) . ive seen people cite forced interpersonal drama but i didnt really have a huge problem with it. It doesnt help at all that a bunch of allegations of Wood being an absolute creepazoid came out around the same time - leaves a bad taste in the mouth to see him associated w/ the series
I still have nightmares of all the catty comments Storm and Rachel threw at each other (an even more random adversarial relationship than Storm and Colossus).
the potential that that series had still brings a tear to my eye..add it to the list of things inept male writers didnt want me to have
Wood 2nd run was a nightmare. Maddie's pants alone put it in the top 5 worst runs ever.
Storm and Rachel was so random. Rachel and Sublime was so so random.
The only good thing we got out of that run was bringing Monet in the X-Men again (I was afraid she would have gotten lost in limbo after X-Factor).
I still remember reading the final showdown against the sisterhood and cringing hard when they didn't fight but just agreed to go separate ways.
Every team should have their infighting. Woods run was fine it just got boring and he should have been allowed to use Emma like he wanted to it would have resolved a lot of grievances with the Rachel vs Storm thing.
Rachel and Sublime was dumb.
Selene being higher on the food chain then Ecnhantress really showed Wood understood the character.
What tarnished the run was everything happening outside the comic
He also actually used the New X-men

Enchantress should be older than granma Selene, I think? The Asgardians were there during prehistoric times and they were already a fairly evolved civilization. Amora might be from a younger generation tho. But she's still a real goddess while Selene isn't really.
He wanted to use Emma? So many telepaths in that team lol.
