In reality it’s characters like Northstar’s daughter that bring more story potential but I get them going for iconography over emotion for the first.
If you allow yourself to forget Petra and Sway this becomes a bigger deal and I understand the use of Thunderbird as the iconic death pre-Shi’ar. You do begin to believe that “Head of X” is code for “Don’t you dare edit me!” I also wonder why I am learning important story information in an interview and not in the book where almost nothing happened for a couple of years. Particularly on something as pivotal to the set-up as the resurrection protocols. Of course my first thought was what about the Editors? Surely their primary purpose is to notice when the writers/artists are breaking their own story.
His original intention was that those two should be figments of Vulcan’s imagination and not actually resurrected because they couldn’t be as they were pre-Shi’ar. I don’t know if you are aware but Jonathan Hickman was interviewed on the Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men podcast as a kind of exit interview and he revealed that his biggest mistake in his time on the X-Men was one line of dialogue where a character other than Vulcan referenced Petra and Sway. Even Wanda’s suicide/spell would have been less annoying if it wasn’t in an overhyped series.Īs you say there has been confusion over how the resurrection protocols work and why getting Thunderbird back is such a big deal. Make it 2 or 3 issues, remove the Avengers and the Kaiju and we could have a Lorna-focussed story where she is torn between her step sister and her father while X-Factor investigate.
The worst thing about this series is you can see glimmers of how good it could have been as an X-Factor story. How many times can they try to redeem her without it sticking? I imagine there is a sign up in the Marvel offices saying “It has been 20 days since we F’d up Wanda Maximoff” and they keep having to reset it to zero. I come away from this series thinking it would be easier to just say that from West Coast Avengers 50 until yesterday Wanda has been a Skrull.
