X-Man said...: Very tired of Tini's obsession with magic and spells smh lol. I just don't think it fits with Betsy imho.; February 24, 2023 at 8:41 PM
Jaime Braz said...: Somewhat of a butterfly formed around Betsy's face. Can call it a silver lining. This all I can pick out.; February 25, 2023 at 1:17 PM
randybear said...: Thankfully we were able to salvage the butterfly for Betsy and it seems back and here to stay. Just used very sparingly as opposed to Kwannon who always flashes it nearly every appearance, plus the covers. So naturally people will associate it with kwannon over Betsy going forward smh; February 25, 2023 at 1:21 PM
Nate X said...: It seems that every alternate world they visit is a barren land with an orange sky. I guess they're not very creative when it comes to imagining new worlds, are they?; February 25, 2023 at 1:35 PM
PoetryInMotion said...: @Nate No comment on the landscape, but orange skies are Tini's bizarre fetish, it seems; her Catwoman often features those, too.; February 25, 2023 at 2:23 PM
THE FLYING NEGRO said...: I think Rachel looks really terrible in this. I liked her recent X-Factor look a lot better. And looks like Tini is doing to Rachel what she did to Betsy...namely, she made her powers just generic "powers". Rachel shoots fire blasts now? I know she has psi bolts, but what is she actually doing in these scenes?

When I look at the cover for issue #1, I am sympathizing with poor Brian Braddock, a character utterly destroyed by Tini Howard. He has been treated the same way as Merlin, Saturnyne, and Roma. Cast out, stripped of powers and dignity, and now relegated to obscurity most likely. Turned into a househusband and babysitter while his big sister goes out and fights. I wanted Betsy to be Captain Britain again, but not like this...; February 26, 2023 at 11:32 PM
X-Man said...: I didn't want her to be Captain Britain again, I rather she got her own unique name if she couldn't be Dissasembled Psylocke, but while I agree with most of your assessment of Tini's writing, I do believe Brian still has powers as Captain Avalon (I could be wrong on name lol). I think he got the Sword of Might now even though I think that was better suited for Betsy smh.; February 27, 2023 at 1:02 AM
Rahsaan said...: @Flying Negro, you read my mind. Also, what are those blasts coming from the hands of the various Captains? Are they firing generic psychic energy blasts? Are the blasts telepathic or telekinetic in nature? Tini’s writing is so goddamn lazy. I really cannot fathom exactly what about it her sycophants find so brilliant.

Also, will there ever be any acknowledgment from Elizabeth on her pattern of attractions to various Summers family members?

This writing is pure 🚮.; February 27, 2023 at 2:22 PM
Nate X said...: Can't expect creativity from Tini Howard. Remember Brian's Trops? All sets of strong and different personalities, different costumes, and not everyone was a Brian, which made their interactions even more interesting. Now cut to Betsy's Trrops, a bunch of generic copies of Betsy with similar costumes and the same bland personality or lack thereof, not to mention those stupid-looking animal versions that aren't remotely funny or amusing if you're over 10 years old.; February 27, 2023 at 8:56 PM
Rahsaan said...: @Nate, yup. Heaven help us. Her favorite is the swan, an ill-tempered bird. Her writing is so sophomoric and completely uninteresting.; February 28, 2023 at 9:05 AM
