#x-tremists

[pseudol]

I was re-reading Age of Man: X-tremists and loved Bobby and JP interactions there. Funny how I have been shipping these two for almost 20 years and it is the first time I drew them. It is a quick thing based on a base of Mellon Soup on Instagram. 15 year old me would be happy to see I finally drew them. And I have some more fanart planned

The good thing about the chances of it being canon in 616 being 0 is that they cannot disappoint me.

A reference to X-Tremists?!

Say what you will about Age of X-Man, Betsy/Fred was cute. Also Department X had really great outfits.

[hank-mccoyed]

Can you believe Marvel actually gave us an entire issue with soft moments between three canonically gay characters?

the moment we’ve all been waiting for.

You know, gotta love when a website in the middle of an interview with Marvel editor shows off a panel from an upcoming book they’re allowed to show and FORGET TO SAY WHICH ONE IT IS! Surge and a character who I think is supposed to be Hellion (his telekinesis is usually green so this green glow could be what and in a book that doesn’t look to be NextGen (thankfully) and the site didn’t even say what book it is. Considering the two blonde girls look quite similar I SUSPECT they might be Stepford Cuckoos, which would suggest Amazing Nightcrawler where we know Stepfords will be showing up (these posters might be an additional clue) but I don’t know because WHAT A WEBSITE SHOWS A NEW STUFF TO PROMOTE UPCOMING BOOKS WITHOUT SAYING WHAT BOOKS IT IS FROM WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE THIS ISN”T ROCKET SCIENCE HOW BACKWARDS IS THIS ENTIRE INDUSTRY THAT IT CANNOT EVEN DO BASIC PROMOTION LIKE THIS RIGHT?!

 Then again that website’s name is Adventures In Poor Taste, they sat down with Jordan White and made him answer questions from their twitter followers. Some things he said:

So, Perilous Siege‏ (@perilous_siege) is loving “Age of X-Man” so far and asked if this event is a sign that X-Men stories are headed in a more subversive and perhaps envelope-pushing direction moving forward.

Jordan: I think the X-Men titles are always trying to push the envelope… but, yes, we have very big plans to push things in a way no one is expecting. Subversive is definitely a good word for it, although it’s funny, because I think it’s kind of double-subversive, in that it’s going to be subversive in a way you don’t expect?

Last time I saw someone describing a superhero story as aiming to be envelope-pushing we got this trailer

And seeing how shitty Uncanny X-Men is I suspect we shouldn’t ask if Cyclops is gonna say “FUCK XAVIER!” but when.

Speaking of school, Rafael Martins‏ (@rafaradar) wondered if there are upcoming plans for the Academy X kids like Surge, Hellion, Mercury and Dust.

Jordan: Three of those characters appear in a book we’re sending to press last week. The fourth is in a script I read recently, and I think her fans will be very happy with that appearance.

@newx-menfan  

How long it takes for a book to go from print to store? If one week then the only book that would make sense is X-Tremists #1. If two then it will be one of the next week books and then we have Prisoner X #1, Champions #3 or the one book I hope none of them shows up in considering its abysmal track record in the last two issues, fucking Uncanny X-Men #13.

Also, while linking this on twitter White was sure to mention Surge by name as only one out of these four.

And now for the absolute pure unrefined GOLD of this interview:

Oh, and speaking of X-Men Twitter, Zack Jenkins over at Xavier Files (@XavierFiles) had concerns. He said, and I quote: “Y’all ever gonna let Colossus and Wolverine’s Savage Land kids hang out and be friends?” Think of the children, Jordan!

Jordan: NOPE! Never.

In all seriousness, there are no plans. Giving super heroes kids is one of those things that seems awesome in the moment, but always ends up very awkwardly because GENERALLY SPEAKING the audience does not want to read a book about their favorite hero getting bogged down in the real-life responsibility of having a child. There’s a reason the stories almost always end up bending over backwards to get rid of the child one way or another. >cough<Cable>cough<

I will now try to form a response to this that doesn’t devolve into an incoherent rage again. I should manage, I mean HOLY FUCK EVEN DC ISN’T THAT OUT OF TOUCH MY GODS WHAT IN THE FUCK’S NAME
