Thanks for the assumption, but my guts are fine, thanks. I just feel that any kind of level-headed assessment of Grant’s last 12 or so issues of New X-Men has rather been lost under the wave of plugging-the-gaps speculation and the like, which is a bit of a pity.
Maybe it’s because it’s the X-Men, who many people here clearly have a great knowledge of and affection for, that people are willing to accept some questionable storytelling (like, who DID shoot Emma ? Is there more than one person called Sublime ? How DID Magneto engineer the whole Xorn thing? Who’s making Kick? None of those are answered on the page, as far as I can recall, though I’m happy to be pointed to the appropriate issues) and some very questionable dialogue and pacing.
For my part, because it’s being written by Grant Morrison, I expect the opposite, and I certainly don’t expect to have to rely on internet postings to tell me what’s happening in the story. That’s technically referred to as ‘bad writing’, and having followed Grant’s writing since the days of Ulysses Sweet, I expect better.
Just cos it’s the X-Men doesn’t make it acceptable.
Or, if you prefer, Bizarro DBC : Me LIKE New X-Men ! Beak is Best-developed character of all time, and Quire second better ! Not shallow teen-angst version of Magneto at all ! Me hope it am Apocalypse or some-other hardly-referred to badgoodguy behind it all, that GOOD writing ! Take my money. Me not got better things to do with.
Maybe it am the Vanisher or Batroc. That be good twist ! |
