Two female characters are fighting and it’s a) not about a guy, b) not about material positions, or c) not just because no reason (looking at you Remender).
The whole fight between Ororo and Rachel was much like the rest of this series, very organic. The team was put together at last minute. Ororo just kinda took charge because she’s a strong alpha-type personality. But she made a decision that didn’t set well with Rachel in the last issue, it was a disagreement not based on men or pettiness. Considering how much pettiness we’ve gotten in a few other titles at the moment, it’s a breath of fresh air.
And can we talk about the cuteness of Jubilee and son? I really wasn’t sure what they were going to do with this plot line, I wondered it was going to just be another trope, Instead we get a nice, very real, moment between Jubilee, adopted son, and father-figure. The whole ‘you can’t go home’ vibe was perfect, take it from someone who knows.
Lastly, loving Rogue in this, she’s perhaps a little too ‘immature’ and hot-dogging it, but she’s a sassy Southern Redneck so what can you do? Kitty and Psylocke are also having some fun, and I love that Psylocke is expanding on her powers the way she is.
Overall, I’m very pleased with this title so far.
