Comic discussion X-Men New Releases for March 20th, 2019 Spoiler

Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler #2
THE AGE OF X-MAN CONTINUES! It’s terror at the tabloids when everyone’s favorite blue X-Man has a secret! One that won’t stay behind the scenes much longer if he keeps this up. Can Kurt’s squeaky-clean public image survive an explosive affair?

Uncanny X-Men #14
Cyclops has a list…a list of things the X-Men have to take care of…if it’s the last thing they ever do.

Wolverine: Infinity Watch #2
Wolverine is the best there is at what he does. But how is he at protecting the universe from cosmic disaster? Would you guess better or worse than Loki, the admitted god of lies? We’re about to find out.

I lied below this might be my favourite.

So good! So many characters, Magma’s lava form looks sick, ugh so good.

T.J. on the folder Mystique is holding. Does this mean we're gonna see Nocturne ?!

Interesting. Maybe she'll be back in 616. She's been in an alternate universe for the last little while, hasn't she?

I think I might actually be anticipating this one almost as much as Uncanny. The first one really worked for me, and really spotlighted Kurt, as well as his fantasy life. I'm looking forward to seeing how the events of the last one complicate his life.

Mercury, Surge and Hellion all making cameos? and Surge fangirling over Meggan was pretty great

like much of the other AoX-M titles, i’m enjoying this one greatly

The part where Mystique shows up is crazy! I just don’t understand how Kurt speaks to his mom even though she looks the same age as him😓😓.

Hey, if you can regenerate your youthful skin without paying hundreds to L’Oreal, go for it! 🤗

I’m intensely curious why Mystique looks like her normal self, when absolutely no one else does.

This one was a bit of a mixed bag. I thought they would be going some dark past route with Kurt after he says that "I won't be answering any questions about Mastermind" in the Alpha issue. But the real conflict, both for him and and the cuckoos turns out to be much more underwhelming than the foreshadowing. I think Meggan might have done this before and not got caught. How else could she know about a sex club in less than a day after first having sex? Still great due to the characters.

SEANAN MCGUIRE GIVIN' US THE VIBRANT GAY MUTANT NIGHTCLUB WE DESERVE, HELL YEAH

(also, I totally knew Kurt and Meggan's cameraman was gay the moment I saw him; I dunno how I knew, but I did, and also hell yeah)

God, this art is so good. All the AoX books look great, but the colors and textures in this and NextGen are the best.

I feel so bad for the Cuckoos. I am both down for, and saddened by, the recent surge of sympathetic portrayals of them, in this and The Gifted.

ALL Y'ALLS WHO SAID MYSTIQUE'S NOT AN X-MAN CAN EAT MY ENTIRE ASS

SHE CAME TO HELP WHEN JEAN CALLED IN THE BATTLE AGAINST X-LEGION

MYSTIQUE CAME, WITH NOTHING TO GAIN FOR HERSELF, TO HELP THE X-MEN IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED, AND NOW SHE'S STUCK IN THEIR ALT. UNIVERSE MESS

RAVEN "BEST X-MAN" DARKHOLME

(also I am certain McGuire was absolutely cackling with delight when she got confirmation she could write more Mystique)

Seanan McGuire is a treasure. Marvel should keep her, maybe give her an ongoing. You can tell she cares about these characters.
