X-Men 185: PUBIC ENEMA!

What we learn this issue besides that the tug boat Longshot Annie is just chilling in the middle of the Mississippi river.

HENRY GYRICH DEMANDS ROGUE BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. HE MAKES A COMPELLING ARGUMENT THAT SHE IS A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, BUT HE IS STILL A SLIMY GINGER BITCH.

MYSTIQUE AND VAL COOPER CONFRONT GYRICH AND DEMAND SWEET SWEET LOVING.

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID RACHEL SUMMERS CRIES ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME?

HOORAY FOR SILLY SCI-FI JARGON: “ROGUE’S PHYSIOLOGY IS A SYNTHESIS OF HUMAN AND ALIEN. HER HYBRID METABOLISM GENERATES A UNIQUE ENERGY AURA.” WOW, THAT IS INTERESTING!!!

FORGE BUILT A GUN FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND HIS LIVID WHEN MYSTIQUE TELLS HIM THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO USE THE GUN HE BUILT FOR THEM. FORGE IS NOT TOO BRIGHT FOR A GENIUS.

EVIL PINK ANTEATER ALIENS ARE COMING TO FUCK EARTH UP!


We continue to explore the new characters of Forge and Rachel fuggin Summers in this issue, as well as building the intrigue around Val Cooper, Henry Gyrich and the rest of the government spooks and their reaction to the dreaded mutant menace. Obviously Rachel Summers blows. She doesn’t take long to establish her credentials as the worst X-Man (unlike Cyclops, the best X-Man). Forge is still mostly an enigma. Basically he’s a sell out, working for the government, which of course will end up haunting him later.

There are also quite a few pages devoted to Rogue and Storm, cooling out on the banks of the Might Missisip. Rogue feels bad because she fucking ruined the life of Carol Danvers, the original Ms Marvel. Storm snaps her out of her funk by letting her absorb her powers and memories. I guess because Storm is so fucking sweet. Well lad di dah your majesty. Everyone would be just peachy fuckin keen if only they could see the world through your perfect eyes.

Bitch.

Then Gyrich and his flunkies show up and fuck everything up. He tries to neutralize Rogue with Forge’s neutralizer gun, but instead misses and hits Storm. Now Storm is depowered and TOTALLY FUCKED.

And the Dire Wraiths, from some shit called ROM (ROM is a robot space knight, based on a toy. Yea comics!) find out that the neutralizer was actually invented to neutralize them. So THEY decide they need to neutralize Forge first. So we’re all pretty fucked now!
