X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Is Spurrier channeling Rick Remender?

This title has always been a little wordy, but this entire arc has really hit the word count limit where dialogue and expansion turns into rambling and mindless filler. It’s like this arc is being deliberately stretched out so it could fill more issues or something. Especially since we’re apparently getting to the actual World Worm just a hop skip after we just went through the fake World Worm.

Then you top this with an insane yet somewhat ignored battle where everyone seems to be fighting for their lives, some people even randomly getting killed in it, and we’re supposed to care? There is no set up, no push, just ‘hey look what’s happening now as I monologue about stuff’. This is very much something Remender would do (has done) and I don’t mean this in a flattering way.

But maybe we’ll see some real movement though now that Ruth has leveled up and David has lost it.

This’ll be great…
