Text: I am so fucking angry that Marvel’s first ever all-female X-book turned out to be such a godawful steaming pile of horseshit. FUCK YOU, BRIAN WOOD. FUCK YOU VERY MUCH.

Adjectiveless X- Men, how do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways: shitty writning, bland and unrealistic sounding dialogue, everyone is OOC, boring fight scenes, excessive melodrama (even by X-Men standards!), Kitty and Rogue have major sameface going on (seriously, I could only tell them apart by looking at their hair) … the list goes on. Also, I keep hearing about how the Marvel NOW! Books are such great jumping-off points for new readers, and this really, really isn’t. The last X-Men comic I read before this was from the early 1990s, and when I started the series I had no idea what the fuck was going on half the time BECAUSE NOTHING IS FUCKING EXPLAINED. IT’S JUST ASSUMED THAT YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE BACKSTORIES OF A BUNCH OF OBSCURE CHARACTERS. Who the fuck is John Sublime, and what makes him so ~dangerous~? Who the fuck is Karima, and how did she become a brain-damaged cyborg locked up in Hank McCoy’s Lab? Why the fuck is Jubilee a vmpire now, and why didn’t I know this until I looked at the wiki AFTER I finished reading the first TPB? You can’t just throw in a cryptic reference to her not being able to enjoy sun on the beach anymore and expect new readers (or lapsed readers, like me) to understand that SHE’S A VAMPIRE NOW LOL. AT LEAST SHOW HER DRINKING BLOOD OR SOME SHIT. Also, what’s with this bullshit about Ororo and Rachel having spats over the leadership of the team? THEY ARE NOT SCOTT AND LOGAN, FOR FUCKS SAKE, THAT DYNAMIC DOESN’T HAVE TO BE IN EVERY FUCKING TEAM BOOK.

Fuck this, I’m not even gonna bother reading the second TPB to see if it gets better. This guy clearly has no grasp of these characters.
