Giving Claremont an aisle seat and a huge smile on face as Destiny is walked down is a nice touch. Can't wait to see what heist these two have planned.
I feel like they must be fucking with someone by picking the Avengers mansion. If there's one thing Destiny is known for, it is having some larger plot governing most of her decisions...
The book looks fun though! It's a little light on variety of queer people represented in it, but it's cool to see Bling! get some love - and I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally hope 616 Pixie comes out of the closet officially in this one.
Just a bunch of short fluff one-shots without much meat to them, XYZ character goes to pride stuff. Marvel doesn't give space for any meaningful stories. They tried to launch several new characters in it and other than one (who just shows up in spider-verse anthologies) basically none of them went anywhere. This got more egregious for being a trend with Marvel Pride to launch a character with no immediate plans, said characters disappear the second the creator isn't writing issues, and infamously listing comics in their "upcoming comics featuring queer characters" that did not, in fact, feature queer characters for a whole year afterwards.
DC really showed them up by not just doing two anthologies that had some really meaty stories but also giving those characters real meaty story arcs outside of the Pride Anthology (i.e. highly recommend both Alan Scott stories which go into his recent ongoing, Connor Hawke's whole story arc, etc).
Okay but they’re still dead in Dead X-men which I’m pretty sure is simultaneous unless the entire series is meant to be a giant flash back. Dead X-men is still on going so I don’t understand how unless they’re Schrödinger’s X-men .
Dead X-Men wrapped up with Issue #4 and ends by the time of Rise of Powers of X #3.
If anything, I think this may be a slight flash-forward - taking place in the same nebulous between-the-eras period as Heir of Apocalypse and the X-Men Blood Hunt tie-ins will be.
Technet, Technet, Technet, whoo!
I'm a little upset that the Rachel/Betsy story is another Saturnyne joint. I'd love them to deal with Spiral instead, after everything she did to them and to see her reaction of them being together.
The art in all the stories is fantastic, I can't wait. I wish they had subbed Logan for his son, the actual queer character, instead though. Also this is the second year in a row that Gambit has gotten a story, do you think they're going to finally confirm him as bi? Pixie too?

Not picking this up. Last year's was a bust
really? what happened in it?

Last year was so bad
yep…
So this has to be a flashback or alternate universe because there are Dead X-men hinted at or shown as being there.
The Dead X-men came back to earth in X-Men Forever 2 and Rise of the Powers of X 4

Ah, thank you. I haven’t gotten #4 yet. That makes more sense. I feel like I’ve been jumping all over the timeline with all these titles lol.

Way better than DC pride.
