I don't know how consistent the art will be in this arc, but at least the first issue will be very nice to look at.<br /><br />I shouldn't be excited for anything Marvel comes up with after so many disappointments, but... well, I am. I love the idea of a huge roster of characters (and this time it will probably work better than in Fraction's run, where despite of the dozens of X-Men only four of them were relevant), and while I'm not very familiar with the work from these writers, I know Kelly Thompson is a huge fan of the X-Men and all three of them sound very excited with the project in this interview, so I'm confident that they will do their best.FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-69394680003960055332018-09-14T12:53:32.845-03:002018-09-14T12:53:32.845-03:00I haven't been here in a while!

In my view, the costume looks better or worse depending on the artist, but is still a generic looking costume. With this artist, it looks better. But I really think it needs to be improved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-15364379016562779502018-09-14T12:28:12.273-03:002018-09-14T12:28:12.273-03:00@Taz, yeah.

I am optimistic that they would not have gone through all the trouble of having this big surprise to then have her fall to the wayside.<br /><br />As for Kwannon, I really think that they should do everything they can to differentiate her from Elizabeth, including changing her hair color to black, developing her empathic power versus giving her telepathy/telekinesis/precognition and possibly even have an issue where she an Bets "break up" a la Jean and the Phoenix. Otherwise, she still remains dependent on Psylocke for identity, which is whack. I still maintain that she may not even have a place with the X-Men. She kinda reminds me of Binary being with the X-Men, because of what Rogue did to her when she was Ms. Marvel. It was fine for a time, but ultimately Carol's place was not at the school. I don't feel Kwannon belongs at the school for the long haul. She needs an identity outside of Psylocke's to be completely her own character. The X-Men are Elizabeth's family. She can make her own. perhaps she can have her own exploits in Madripoor or even in Japan. The only reason she came to the school was, because she had been gaslighted into believing she was Elizabeth Braddock. I feel like with her own life to live again, she'd not want to return to the X-Men.Rahsaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253075742122081899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-38785251507083277962018-09-13T11:33:30.709-03:002018-09-13T11:33:30.709-03:00@ Chislom No worries, none taken :) I actually enj...@ Chislom No worries, none taken :) I actually enjoy these discussions. <br /><br />Kwannon is winning in a sense that the writers didn't dispose of her body. If she had a minor role in the X-universe, the writers wouldn't have added that last bit at the end of the arc, and would have left her body to rot. So, it's very likely that she will have an important role in the near future.<br /><br />While too early to really tell, what I fear is that British Betsy is going to end up in the background in the new X-titles. But, hopefully not. I guess as a reader I wasn't convinced with how Psylocke got her body back, and the writing was sloppy. So, I reckon the writers will be sloppy with how they use her.<br /><br />Anyway, it does provide space for Kwannon to develop and maybe grow as an important character.Alexisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-68227565252327871792018-09-13T09:30:21.273-03:002018-09-13T09:30:21.273-03:00@Alexis, a question.

She for the moment seems to be in editorial limbo, Meanwhile our girl, Elizabeth is featured in the newly, relaunch premiere X-Men title? That’s the opposite if being the primary beneficiary.

However, it will also be wack if Kwannon continues to live with no identity outside of Elizabeth, including wearing her hand-me-down clothing. They need to put her in title away from the X-Men, like the Exiles or something.
