X-MEN [10] : FIRE spoilers and review ish

[Glio]

Prodigy seems to be still a teenager. And Melody Guthrier was also resurrected in a teenage body. I think they can make you younger but not older than you are. Xavier was definitely not resurrected in the body of a twenty-year-old.

Anyway, a person with a 16-year-old mind in a 25-year-old body, I don't think they should drink either.

One of the Sinister Secrets alludes to the possibility. But it also says "I could be lying."

Be cool if there was a sister or a connection to the black womb family

[jwatson]

It was simulated and fake and part of the reason why they failed so epically in their first mission. We dont know if they even still have those false memories bc they werent real but were rather deceptive


We know they at least get psychological evaluation. Synch had trouble coping and I presume thats what we are seeing with Sway and Petra

Evaluation is a good thing but not deep enough. Perhaps even doc Samson can be recruited and we can have a comic dedicated to mutants expressing how they feel post krakoa and other things. Especially with the fact that Xavier himself ponders how to help mutants that aren't born sociopaths but their powers itself make them so, like emplate.

He is busy taking care that the Hulk does not destroy Earth.

I wonder if Chance could/would come back as male.

[houndsofluv]

Possibly. And yet this issue gave me the feeling that 'Petra' and 'Sway' aren't really Petra and Sway, but are some sort of sleeper agents keeping an eye on Vulcan for the creepy alien dudes (unconsciously, at least, perhaps only being full-on Manchurian candidate when they are asleep, or blackout drunk?).

idk about sleeper agents necessarily but I think you're onto something and this panel is too deliberate for us to not draw parallels

That's not really the point though, is it? They were blank slates, and he chose to make them manipulative drunks who don't care about their friend. It's lazy writing. I'm loving what Hickman's doing with the X-men, but his ladies need a lot of work.

not necessarily lazy imo , I think it established their role in Vulcan's narrative arc pretty well , I just hope it doesn't end here

Hmm. Good point. It's almost as if they're watching Vulcan through the eyes of the ladies. Here Gabriel, keep drinking until you one day drunkenly rage out and destroy Earth.

I love his Emma, Illyana, Ororo, and of course Moira. More of his Monet would be satisfyingly delicious.

lol on what grounds?

Do we have any mutants that have acted or trained as counsellors? I know Paige was established as a counsellor in Wolverine and the X-Men but it seemed more like a guidance counsellor than a therapeutical specialist.

JONATHAN HICKMAN DOESN'T WRITE WOMEN WELL

I haven't really read enough of his work to say whether that is true or not, but from his X-work so far I have enjoyed his Moira, Mystique, Destiny, Rasputin, Karima, Alia Gregor, Monet, Magik, his Dani was pretty good when he bothered to write her, and his Rhane and Karma were at least entertaining and their opening scene together in NM #1 was pretty good. I would say that he seems to prefer to write a specific type of female character, but that's true of his male characters as well.

[The92Ghost]

I honestly liked the issue. Vulcan is not one of my favourites and he seems way too damaged, which I dislike, he is an Omega Level mutant, I am surprised that he is that broken. Some of those panels creeped me out, like the ones with the alliens when they separate his body and looked into it.
