This might be a controversial take but i will always defend decimation era x-books. I feel like it was one of the last times we saw the x-men’s situation be SO gritty and dire. Even the characters who were meant to be fun and cute (pixie, anole, elixir, etc.) were so serious because the stakes were so high and it was such a dark time. Like everyone was truly trauma bonded and they really felt like a dysfunctional family😭. I also love how cruel scott gets in this era. It’s also the era i started reading comics so it may just be nostalgia but idc i love these books especially the stuff by kyle and yost.

MY FAVORITE COMIC BOOK RUNS OF ALL TIME.....that I physically own every original floppy issue of

I've recently been narrowing down my collection into a few longboxes I keep calling "fire boxes" with my boy Kyle, due to the fact if my house was on fire I would grab those boxes of comics gold and run for my life. During that process I realized how hard it is to not just own a complete run of those special comics and noticed how many floppies of those certain runs I already owned. So, I decided to hunt down what I was missing and own, complete from start to finish, my favorite comic runs of all time that call out to be owned in that crisp original floppy format. Naturally I decided to rank them too.

I can’t even begin to imagine just how annoying it would be to have to live with a telepathic roommate! Lol!

Still though, the bond between Kaine and his surrogate-daughter figure/superhero sidekick, Hummingbird (aka, Aracely), was so funny & heartwarming!

From Scarlet Spider (2012) #7 by Chris Yost & Khoi Pham.

Thinking about Chris Yost's Scarlet Spider run and the relationship between Kaine and Aracely again and the thing that strikes me is that Kaine is defined by one major thing: his self-loathing.

Kaine Parker legitimately believes that he's a monster, that the fact that he's a flawed clone, his past as a killer, and the Other inside of him make him someone unworthy of love. He pushes others away because he legitimately believes that they would be safer if he wasn't in their lives and that he doesn't have anything beneficial to offer anyone.

And yet Aracely, this amnesiac girl possessed by an Aztec god (at least in part), chooses him. Again and again. She calls him her champion. She returns to his orbit even when he pushes everyone around him away.

Why? Because Aracely, for all her quirks, unconditionally loves Kaine. She thinks he's amazing when he doesn't think that about himself. Over and over, she's there for him even when he doesn't want her to be. She can't help but care about him - literally, she's a telepath and his thoughts are loud. No matter what he does, her mercy for him is new every morning.

And isn't that just the picture of God's love for us?
