Lenore you need to do that WAY more often, that's badass. DP7 20
So if you haven't noticed, I'm in an Exiles mood and I discovered this AMAZING fanfic called 'The New Exiles' online. There are SO many cool characters and I decided to make them in AI so I can envision the story in my head. So here are some female characters from the fanfic!
From 1st pic: Blink, aka Clarice Ferguson (Exiles leader), Nocturne, aka Talia Josephine Wagner (possessing Jennifer Kale), Phoenix aka Jean Howlett, Cyclops aka Julia Carpenter, Krystalin (daughter of Nick Fury and the Skrull known as Lyja), Khaos aka Petra Maximoff, Twilight aka Lenore Fenzl, Chameleon aka Mary Jane Parker, Viva aka Stephanie Harrington and LaDonna, guardian of the Crystal Palace.
The fanfic can be found on fanfiction.net if you want to check it out and I will post more pictures soon.
Hmm. Hmm.
When we began. I had never read a New Universe book in my life, not the reboot, not any of the modern books where Marvel reincorporated the characters. Nothing. I knew it only by the broadest outline of its reputation. It was a poor idea, implemented haphazardly, mostly rejected, that fizzled sharply and decisively. I expected something that...wasn't bad, per se. But I expected something that would be self evident in its failure from the word go. That is not at all what I got.
There's this...tangle in my chest that I've been sitting with for an hour trying to write this. The idea I keep coming back to is a sentiment I've seen repeated again and again. In relation to fanfiction specifically "God this would have been so good if it was good."
For the first dozen issues I was electrified by this series. An ensemble cast in a setting that was refreshing for its simplicity, getting back to the core element of a superhero team: make them bounce off each other and see what sparks fly. I got attached, my heart and my mind clutched this new corner of comicdom close. JUST in time for the fanbelt to fly off.
After the end of that first arc the series...didn't dip, it wasn't one solid downward spike. It just started a hard wobble, an unsteady grip on itself that left fascinating ideas tangled up in the weeds of everything coming unglued. It made me disappointed, it made me anxious, at least once it made me honestly furious.
And yet these characters were so well etched. Their personal drama so richly defined. Their relationships so fascinating in their construction that I never wavered in my conviction that I had to see it to the bitter end.
This was a comic on the positive side of mid. It was full of bad choices, lead off on dead end sidetracks and spent its limited time at best, unwisely. The ending was sudden, leaving an even deeper pang in my heart of potential unfulfilled.
I am simply not ready to accept that this series has evaporated in my hands. So? So what? Well, I'm going to fucking write an ending is so what.
For those of you who feel the same way that I do, can feel the ideas in this comic itching just an inch beneath its skin. Follow me.
... ...I'm not having fun anymore :( Dp7 26
...I'm ready for this comic to end now. See this? THIS is what fucking happens. I bet when they wrote it it was all "Oh she's just the lame old lady, nobody cares, let's drum up some drama." Well *I* fucking cared. She was my favorite character and they've just kneecapped all of my fucking enthusiasm for a comic that was on shaky ass ground as it is. Here am I, standing, living proof on why the shock death of C list characters is fucking BULLSHIT. God DAMMIT. DP7 26
Ok, not much commentary on this save for saying Lenore might be my favorite so far. She's just so gentle and worldly and we so rarely get to see older women as superheroines like her. But on that note. LOOK AT HER IN HER LITTLE READING GLASSES AHHHH. SHES SO CUUUUTE. DP7 6
Despite Lenore's timid nature, she can never keep herself from doing everything in her power to help the helpless. It's the teacher in her. DP7 23
Who. Wrote. That. On. Lenore's. Door. And how quickly can I start jumping on their head in the parking lot. DP7 17
