[net.comics] What's Happening in X-MEN???

horton@nmtvax.UUCP (09/14/84)

Could someone please tell me what's happening in X-MEN??? I've
heard talk of anti-mutant sympathy, but none of that is
happening in ALPHA FLIGHT. Also, I've seen these adds for DAZZLER
with the word "mutie" scrawled over her face. What is happening?

Forgive my ignorance, please.

The anti-mutant storyline has been shown in Alpha Flight as well,
Tracy.  In #17 Aurora (SPOILER WARNING) has her powers changed by
Dr. Langkowski so she doesn't show up as a mutant anymore.  A lot
of good that'll do her when they start using "hounds" (see X-Men
#189)...

With any luck at all, Dazzler is going to be found dead in a 
garbage can (along with a big stack of her graphic novels). :-)

An excellent history of the New X-Men can be found in the most
recent issue of Amazing Heroes (#55).  The Old X-Men were covered
in the previous issue.  The author, R. A. Jones, makes a few
slips, but gets most of it (i.e. don't rely on it for a trivia
contest, but it's usually right).  Ignore the last half page,
where Jones goes off into his own little world and suggests
Storm's love for Kitty is homosexual.

There's also an interview with Bill S-word, where he generally
expresses contempt for drawing the new mutants in a recognizable
fashion.  I'm being a little harsh, but I wish he'd go back to
Moon Knight and leave the Newts in peace.

He does mention Ralph Steadman, and any fan of Steadman can't be
all bad.

Which is a shame, as it would be more fitting if a certain editor-in-chief
was in there with her...
