That moment when the comic specifically mentions Dr Who… then proceeds to steal directly from it. Well, at least they’re somewhat honest.
The whole ‘drum beat’ thing, totally taken from The Master in Dr Who. I was thinking it even before the parting shot at the end with the Uncanny X-Men. And yeah, looks like David is going to go after a little revenge. All because he lost his mother…
Speaking of which, what the heck? I knew, from spoilers, that she was going to die, but the shear amount of rushing through the story was annoying. David gives his big long speech about how his mother was never there for him. She throws a few words back. They prove the Xavier in his head isn’t really Xavier. Then boom, they suddenly are hugging and they’ve made up. It’s all to neat and easy. I mean, really, David with his emotional issues… it was all too easy. Then she dies, lets herself die cause apparently she’s adverse to going against the natural order. But… mutants are natural, what is this ‘different worlds’ crap?
It kinda makes her out to be a bit of a bigot. Our World. Mutant’s World. Never Shall They Cross. That’s segregation which has always been a tool of racism. Just throwing that out there…
p.s. why did the artist draw gabrielle like ruth? that’s just creepier than usual…
