I just remembered Juggs was part of the Rosencanny team... it's like there's a black hole in my mind whenever I casually remember anything from that run
Especially since it’s the whole reason Cain missed out on Xavier, Moira, and Magneto changing the world.
Yeah but Piotr is a sweetheart who would eventually forgive Magik for anything. Pixie and Anole on the other hand..
I’m pretty sure Nicieza said he was addressing that status quo for Juggernaut. And we knew that HOXPOX was there as a starting point. Why hold onto every single interpersonal web of ongoing and/or dropped plot points between characters when the paradigm shift covers exactly why everyone is where they are? And interpersonal conflicts integral to the characters are addressed, see: Storm & Emma, Xavier & Mystique, Shaw & Emma, Wolverine & Omega Red, Captain Britain & Psylocke etc etc
I look forward to the longstanding bond that has developed between Juggs and Magik. After all, the stories lie in the status quos themselves, not how those statuses came to be.
And that issue where Cable and his namesake, Uncle Sinny, play X-Box is going to be great, I don't care if people say that doesn't make any sense, you just don't get that things are different because there is an island.
If they had to establish all these moments on-panel, we wouldn't even be halfway through HOXPOX by now.
The point of Dawn of X was to make a big splash with a totally revamped X-line. This gradual transition people are pining for wouldn't have been nearly as successful.
