So the New Mutants (actually I guess it’s X-Force now even though the X-Force comic hasn’t started yet) and the New Warriors travel to Muir Island to investigate the power nexuses they’ve been detecting, and of course there’s no welcoming reception here because everyone on the island is possessed by the Shadow King who’s still forcing them to dress sexily (and has been for like a year and a half at this point). That makes sense, and I’m thinking, ok how is this going to play out?? How are our heroes going to interact with a whole bunch of corrupted X-Men side characters? And they even acknowledge this state of affairs by having the Shadow King’s disembodied corpse face floating above everyone, but then, for the sake of, I don’t know, plot I guess, the Shadow King just fucks off out of this comic for the next 30 pages?? Seriously? Like, he just stops possessing everyone for a few hours so we can do this story?? And when he . . . “loosens his hold,” Moira and Lorna don’t kind of shake the cobwebs loose and wonder why they’ve been dressing like they’ve been sleeping over in Lady Gaga’s basement for the last 18 months? Ya gotta be shitting me with this shit. And then, because this is a Marvel comic, a fight still happens, because it has to, FOR NO GOD DAMNED REASON, causing hundreds of thousands if not MILLIONS of dollars of damage to Moira’s scientific research facility.

Namorita gets slugged in the face by someone with super strength for the second time in two issues, and eventually everyone stops fighting and we continue on with the story like nothing happened.

What was the point of that! There have been a lot of pointless battles in these X-Men comics where all the good guys just start fighting each other for no good god damn reason instead of having a normal conversation, but this was one of the most pointless. It would have made sense if the Shadow King was still possessing everyone, but he’s in the bathroom for this entire comic! Yes, I know we can see him in Moira’s eyes, but that makes even less sense! Why did they stop fighting then! What’s he doing in there! Why do these characters act like this??? (X-Men Annual #15 – 1991)

Nothing to do on a Friday night? There's always the History channel which has Goldberg on 'Knife or Death' and right afterwards some crazy guys testing their pain threshold with various creatures on 'Kings of Pain'. #yyj #Victoria #knifeordeath #kingsofpain (at Dragon Impact : Martial Art Equipment and Supplies) https://www.instagram.com/p/B46bmo5Fyr1/?igshid=c2swtfrdi6ts

Scotland blew up in the last issue when Proteus was resurrected, and out of the all the superheroes on Earth, they send in X-Factor to investigate. Not the Avengers, not local superhero team Excalibur, not even the People’s Protectorate (who in the fuck are the People’s Protectorate??). No, we send in X-Factor, a the bunch of entitled, elitist, New York snobs who I’m sure would rather be at some expensive restaurant pretentiously talking about how much better they are than everyone else. I’m sure they’re going to take their time and find a real compassionate solution to this humanitarian issue. (Yeah right). Anyway, as they get closer to Edinburgh, we find that Proteus has transformed the entire geographic area into something that looks like a computer program, and the rest of this comic basically looks like it takes place in Tron. Which is not nearly as awesome as it sounds. 

Unfortunately, this really isn’t the bloodthirsty, sociopathic Proteus that the X-Men tangled with all those years ago. He’s not turning everyone inside out and melting the skin of helpless bystanders and plucking everyone’s eyeballs out of their heads. If the original Proteus was a horror movie, this one isn’t even PG-13. He’s just very conveniently hanging out and holding everyone prisoner in his computer jail, and it’s not long before all the superheroes find each other and are conveniently given enough time to hatch a plan.

Well why are you just sitting around! What have you been doing! What a bunch of complete boners. I can’t wait to see what these assholes come up with. (X-Factor Annual #6 – 1991)

あっという間に終わってしまう… 明日で #giroditalia が終わってしまう。と同時に #cyclingbookfair も終わります。#代官山蔦屋書店 ほど自転車文化を紹介している書籍を揃えている書店はないんではなかろうか？ （それでも自転車はマイナーなポジションにあることには変わりはないのだが） なんでもインターネットで情報を得られる時代に、本の存在意義はどういったモノなのか？ 実際に手に取って見れば解ると思います。 オンラインでは不可能な、紛れもない体験がそこにあります。 #daikanyama #tsutayashoten #tsutayabooks #daikanyamatsite #cyclingbooks #rapha #raphajapan #mondial #kingsofpain #ridewithus #poc https://www.instagram.com/p/ByK85OdF2W6/?igshid=1w4m275omy5j9

Oof look at that gutter loss. Feral looks like Mecha-Neck with his neck retracted. Anyway, I don’t know how much of this fap fight between the New Mutants / X-Force and the New Warriors I want to show. Its another one of those fights where everyone is on the same side but they start trying to fry each others’ faces off before even attempting to have a conversation about what’s going on. Anyway, here’s Warpath punching a petite blonde in the face.

Here’s a guy busting Shatterstar’s teeth out of his mouth with a couple of police batons.

Yeah speak English, pretty boy! Gotta like that. Here’s a whole bunch more garbage going on that my brain can’t be bothered to process.

X-Force is still kind of the New Mutants here . . . maybe these guys are fighting over which team is newer? I dunno. Eventually everybody gets winded so they stop fighting for about five seconds and then Speedball of all people (fucking Speedball!) becomes the voice of reason.

Seriously this is every Marvel crossover written in 1980s and 1990s. Everyone starts fighting before they realize they are on the same time. They are lucky no one got their brains blown out by Cable’s gigantic rifle. (New Warriors Annual #1 – 1991)
