What we learned this issue besides San Francisco is an ideal setting for the gay adventures of the X-Mensth
STORM HAS NO POWERS BUT STILL MANAGES TO FUCK UP A GAGGLE OF YOUNG TOUGHS.
THEN SHE GIVES SAN FRAN POLICE LIEUTENANT BREE MORREL THE STINK FINGER.
THEN SHE TUT-TUTS KITTY PRYDE SEXY OUTFIT AND SLEAZY DATE. WHAT A SQUARE.
STORM IS A STUPID BITCH.
RACHEL SUMMERS HAS A CREW CUT, RATAIL AND PARACHUTE PANTS ON, THIS TIME WITH SUSPENDERS! GOD SHE BLOWS.
SPIDER-WOMAN, WHO I GUESS IS A BAD GUY, CREATED A PSYCHIC NET TO ENSNARE COLOSSUS AND ROGUE. COLOSSUS AND ROGUE ARE HAVING NONE OF IT AND FUCK SPIDER-WOMAN'S PSYCHIC NET RIGHT UP. CLASSIC CLAREMONT DIALOG ENSUES!
"THE WEB SHE CASTS IS PSIONIC, A CREATION OF HER THOUGHTS-- AND ITS SUDDEN, VIOLENT DISCORPORATION STRIKES HER LIKE A PHYSICAL BLOW. THERE'S A FLASH OF LIGHT-- ON THE PORCH AND IN HER MIND-- AND THEN BLESSED OBLIVION."
THANK GOODNESS FOR THE BLESSED OBLIVION THAT FOLLOWS THE PAINFUL BLOW OF HAVING ONE'S PSIONIC NET RIPPED APART. SWEET SWEET BLESSED OBLIVION.
EVERYONE CELEBRATES THE END OF THE FIGHT BY ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF STUPID JAGOVS.
NIGHTCRAWLER IS RIDIN DIRTY.
Yeah! Now this is what I'm talking about. Wall to wall, balls to balls, four on the floor big beat action. The last two thirds of the book is all X-Men fighting Freedom Force, formally the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who were so evil they finagled a pardon out of the government and pretend to be good guys when really they just want to fuck up the X-Men and shit. And they pretty much beat the hell out of the X-Men here.
My only gripe about the fight is Claremont uses the whole, can't move the Blob but you can move the ground underneath him bullshit tactic again. Whatever.
And Jessica Drew is in the issue for some reason. Jessica Drew I think was the original Spider-Woman but now shes a depowered human who gets mad at this bad guy Spider-Woman who's on Freedom Force and I know nothing about. Jessica Drew has been kicked around several corners of the Marvel Universe and now I hear she's getting a live action TV Show on a network.
Well GOOOOOOoood for YOOOOOuuuu.
More hilarious 80's fashion from mediocre John Romita Jr. Some other subplots inch forward. But mostly it's fighting. POW! BAM! BIFF! Take that bad guys!
Now to order dominoes and watch Breaking Bad. Yes I lead an enviable life. Try not to hate.
ANYWAY, THAT'S THE END OF THE X-MEN IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR LIKE TWENTY YEARS. SEE YOU IN HELL SAN FRAN!
