And maybe Oriental too.

Yeah maybe
although I'm preeetty sure using Oriental to describe a person is a lil gauche

That is an offensive word.

It's very much akin to calling someone "Caucasian" though. It's not a specific ethnicity but a large group.

Would AoA's Blink be older that 616 Blink? I can't remember how old she was compared to the other Gen-Xers back when she died, but she still should be around that age once she was resurrected back in Necrosha. While AoA Blink has live her life without interruption.

Yes, if you take AoA's time-travelling and 616's death into account, AoA would be older.

Yeah that's not the problem with the word "oriental"

No it is not. It is an offensive term and should only be used to describe rugs and lamps never people.

so much drama

So is she back? With krakoa I assume she’ll show up soon?

Still a shame she wasn’t used more after AOA made her massively popular.

The recent exiled book is best left forgotten during marvels dark days.

Really? I felt Saladin Ahmed’s Exiles was a really great celebration of what Exiles was in addition to the amazing art of Javier Rodriguez. Not to mention Blinks cool redesign.

But to the question of if she’s on Krakoa, we know that the 616 version is. In Cable #1, we see from the record of the Quarry that Nightcrawler and Blink fought to a standstill.

Well Im pretty sure Blink won that....but I agree I liked Ahmed's Blink, I just wish it would have been more about exploring her background/history

I loved Ahmed's Blink. She was just as lovable as ever and I liked her short hairstyle. Hell Ahmed got me to like a Wolverine who I almost didn't read the book for. lol

But again, my taste never did match up with the mainstream masses, so of course it got cancelled for low sales. I tend to overlook it due to being an AU title, but that was actually one of the last X-Books I cared about, next to Buncanny. Hopefully that'll change later this year.

Anyone Else get a Issa Rae vibe From Ahmed's Blink ??

[TraneTrax]

I was getting more Janelle Monae vibez, but that was probably because of the way her hair was styled

Personally I imagine Blink to look like Karrueche Tran.

I enjoyed Ahmed's Exiles and I thought Javier's redesign of Blink was great, introducing her 616 auntie was sweet

But it wasn't really a celebration of the Exiles, it was like a cursory five minute wiki read at best.
Nocturne and Morph were really out of character (TJ just kept wanting to quit, it was super annoying). There was no update on Thunderbird or Heather, not even a mention of Mimic or the Crystal Palace.

Also Blink kept holding her javelins between her fingers like Wolverine claws, and was trying to cut people with them? That was just weird.
