Idk...can never get behind these books ruining my childhood heroes but cool art?

Adam Kubert and Sara Pichelli make Giant-Size X-Men 1 look good, but make no mistake: this issue continues the ongoing desecration of the corpse that once was one of the most beloved, inspiring and exciting comic franchises of our times.

In part 1 we learn why Kamala Khan - a character nobody asked to be turned into a mutant in the first place - is the best, most intelligent and most important mutant of them all. In part 2 we learn that Prof. Xavier, a white cis male, has always been scum - by adding a new character and origin to the story of the original Giant-Size X-Men.

I doubt that any of this is what X-Men fans wanted.

The fact that Marvel is going for that crap is interesting though. I can't help but wonder what they are trying to achieve with all these retcons and subversions. Do they want to change X-Men continuity for good by inserting Ms.Marvel into everything? Or is this just a self-contained story and everything will be as it always was after it's wrapped up? In which case I'd ask myself why I should care about these one-shots at all?

Whether it's one or the other, Giant-Size X-Men 1 (2025) is disrespectful to the original and tries to further shove a character down our throat that has failed to stand on her own and that for some reason has now become the vehicle for Marvel's political agenda. And this, perhaps, is the answer to the mystery why we get comics like "Giant-Turd X-Men". more
