This week's newsletter. The Power Fantasy #16 out. A Fox, smiling. Links and stuff. Chewing over the Generation Hope playlist and what Playlists are for anyway. Pixies!
Could I request some lesbian!Idie edits of her in her original UXM appearances, Generation Hope #10/11 and or X-Men: Schism + her new design when the comics come out? 👉👈
yup!!! (it'll be a few months until Unbreakable X-Men is out but trust I'll make edits then)

Generation Hope #13
A training exercise between Scott's X-Men and Hope Summer's squad of new mutants and friends gets a little out of hand, but then the playing field was pretty uneven. Almost as if Scott was trying to teach a lesson.
In Generation Hope, the titular character turned 'The Lights' (New Mutants after M-Day that she rescued and stabilised) into a team of X-Men. Idie left in Schism and Pixie joined as transportation.
Good to see Emma hating on a teenager
Hope Summers drilled and trained them hard, and once they'd been around the block awhile asked to spar with the Extinction Team + Boom Boom (AKA the most powerful X-Men team ever.)
One down, with Pixie teleporting Colossus elsewhere. Megan has gotten so much mileage out of that one spell over the years.
Everyone else is brawling and Namor is tilted about being dosed with pixie dust.
I have to think the older team aren't taking this very seriously, or perhaps there's something to be said for Hope using dedicated small unit tactics. There's something funny about her just shooting Namor.
Magneto is definitely holding back, preoccupied with watching and orating. His reward is AKIRA-style body horror at the hands/parts of Kenji/Zero.
After his disappointment in Magneto's performance, Kenji gets what he was after (I think) and gets torn apart. Mags seems quite calm when chastened, suggesting it was a cold blooded response, though it's hard to tell with the combination eye gouge and psychic attack.
We don't get the terms of this engagement other than 'training exercise' and I can't read Japanese, so we're missing a little context. Hope was shooting Namor with an automatic rifle after Pixie drugged him, though he barely retaliated. The only measure we have of the Zero/Magneto fight is how people react to it. Hope and Scott both act like he went too far, but Zero and Magneto don't seem to think so. Anyone read Japanese? I'd ask Kieron Gillen on his Tumblr but he's a busy guy.
What do you think? 'That boy started it' isn't a good look for an old man who's supremely powerful.
