Angelica Jones: Firestar Appreciation 2024

[Chris0013]

She managed to squeeze one word in Fall of X #3.

Now the era is almost over, what next for the mistress of the microwaves?

Sidelined for another decade until the New Warriors get another run? Or perhaps another stint with the Avengers?

Or maybe, just maybe we'll see her on another X team? Duggan may have poorly written her, but she's been on the frontline for the last year. Hopefully another writer will want to use her

With Duggan's treatment I am afraid of how someone else may make her just window dressing.

[K7P5V]

With that vampire even coming out, Do you think any of the writers will remember that Firestar's powers scramble dark force energy?

Pretty handy for her to be involved seeing as she one of the only few people that can actually make a difference with pushing back the darkness that's covering the city (she's already done it once before).

Read New Warriors of you don't know about the first time the dark force took over New York.

Oh and that's if she's still alive and not still trapped in a basement somewhere.

I know, right?! Here's proof of how effective she can be, when given a chance...

Beautiful!

If only we had a writer that would look at all the different ways she could use her powers, rather than just use her as a pyro.

I really loved Emma's little "You're a real mutant now!" speech at the end there.

No, wait.

What's the opposite of love, that goes miles past hate?

That wasn't Emma, it was Duggan.

[The Cool Thatguy]

That wasn't Emma, it was Duggan.

Same difference.

It's loathsome, it's stupid and insulting.

Angelica gets neutralized off panel and doesn't even get a real victory. Instead she gets a patronizing Emma wiping away her tears. Jesus.

[kevlon]

To be fair it has been horrendous treatment by Duggan. I won't mince my words.

Glad my last memory of Angelica is the X-Men Unlimited where she got so shine.

Finally getting some sort of appearance soon.

Oh I just noticed that last picture of Angelica!

Let's hope she has something to do for once!

[H-E-D]

As absent from the main books as she’s been, Firestar had a great showing in Unlimited, I thought.

100% agree. It's just a shame that not many people will read it.

Most will think that she went to Orchis as a spy, got beat up by Kate, got beat up by juggernaut, got kidnapped, got rescued and then disintegrated an already dead Stasis.

I honestly didn't see it at patronizing but more as a closure between Emma and Angel after the events of Firestar Volume 1. Emma was shown to be worried about Angelica throughout the duration of her being a double agent.

I was, however, extremely disappointed that Firestar's main story was wrapped off-panel.

Curious what role she will play in the last two issues.

The only closure I will accept between Angelica and Emma is for Angie to user her powers to fill Emma with hundreds of tumors leading to her slow agonizing death.
