Grant Morrison's New X-Men From The Beginning (Reboot Edition)

[General Nerditry]

Yes the art was horrible at times, and seemingly all the time under Quitely.

See? Polarizing. I think Quitely was the best for the run...

I've never read any of Grant Morrison's New x-men run before and I was considering getting the omnibus edition of it. I know it's quite a lot different from other x-books in terms of its themes but does it still have some of that classic x-men superhero action in it? Cool fight scenes, hopefully with Jean?

NXM is a MUST for any fan of Jean but is quite bittersweet!!!!

We have different opinions but I think in general we both like Morrison's New X-Men so... I can understand

Very much so, there was a lot of Jean in NXM.

That's good, I thought she had a pretty big part of it. Look forward to reading it, and I actually like Quitely's art, know a lot don't though.

I believe you will mostly enjoy it!

I believe you will mostly enjoy it!

I've seen bits and pieces and previews and I know how most of the story sorta goes towards the end. I thinks I will enjoy. I haven't read anything with classic Jean in a long while.

Some hardcore Jean fans and antiJeanites regard Morrison's Jean as best Jean ever, and she definitely gets quality paneltime.

The scene where Jean single handedly defeats an invading army coming towards the mansion is such a good moment.

This run has flaws in execution but I love how it expands and evolves the whole concept of mutants and the X-Men.

"Germ-Free Generation" Part 1 of 3

Artist: Ethan Van Sciver

1st Appearances: Angel Salvadore, No-Girl

Hank is still in a coma, protesters are still surrounding the school, Jean sits in Cerebro, Wolverine looks for a new mutant in WY, Scott and Emma investigate John Sublime and fall into a trap. Wolverine finds new mutant, Angel surrounded by armed men. Thats pretty much it for this issue. The art is tight that splash page with the title is great but this issue was alot of set-up for this arc.

Is this the 'sex' issue?

Is this the 'sex' issue?

No, thats coming up in a few issues if I remember correctly.

I loved the moments when Jean foamed at the mouth (first Nova attack and second holding Charles' consciousness inside her head).
Morrison loves putting characters through the being disabled wringer.

This run has flaws in execution but I love how it expands and evolves the whole concept of mutants and the X-Men.

The best thing I loved about it was cultural appropriation and mainstream vs underground meshed with mutantkind metaphore.
Definitely agreed about wonky execution.

Is this the 'sex' issue?

Yes, lotsa sex in it. And newscaster fantasizing about his co-worker milking a cow.

[Captain Buttocks]

No, thats coming up in a few issues if I remember correctly.

I cant remember all the pages it's hidden on, but it's deffo one of Van Sciver's.

No idea why he did it though. Artistic temperament?

No wonder his books took so long to do

"Scott...you're my favourite super-hero" (as she is a bloody dying mess during Imperial) was one of my fave Jean lines in the run.

I really really hate Grant Morrisons run, I didn't like Casey's Uncanny X-Men run either, I liked Chris Claremonts X-Treme X-Men and Ultimate X-Men though. Thank goodness New Mutants volume 2, Astonishing X-Men, and New X-Men volume 2 were spectacular.
