X-Thoughts

[alixtii]

So I've just read Messiah CompleX. My main thought?

Just this: "Why are the Cuckoos wearing suspenders?" Which, I recognize, isn't a new outfit--it's the variant cover to the first issue of Phoenix: Warsong, which I'm pretty sure I have iconned at some point--but it's the first I really noticed the suspenders.

Although, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen the Cuckoos since Warsong? So having a data-point as to what their characterization is like after those events is actually really, really useful. (Apparently they still talk a lot about boys, and now also about how girls are better--which warms any femslasher's heart.) But really--suspenders?

Oh and Layla Miller (Madrox): still awesome.

I'm far behind in X-Factor, since I've just been stealing borrowing my fiance's trade paperbacks. Sigh. But, I hear rumors of much Layla Miller excitement in recent issues.

I'm probably just as far back as you--just the first two (or possibly three? I think two) trades.
