WEDDING EXTRAVAGANZA Mystique and Destiny are one of the most beloved and longest running gay couples in history Somewhere in their 100 years together the pair married but we ve never seen the event on the page This year Marvel s Pride makes history with Marvel s first woman to woman wedding And with a couple as complex as these two you know there s a lot to the story We promise party crashing Villainy Romance In the classic tradition of Fantastic Four Annual 3 and X Men 30 this anthology will be a must read for every comics fan Featuring the Marvel debuts of award winning writers Yoon Ha Lee Ninefox Gambit Machineries of Empire and M Louis Agents of the Realm and much talent to be announced X Men The Wedding Special 2024 1Uneven mainly due to the multiple stories within it It s an anthology The stories that focus on Mystique and Destiny are stellar and I recommend those I d give four stars and higher But I skimmed over the Logan Captain Britain and Remy stories for the most part Losing interest quickly and being a little annoyed by the uneven artwork Read it for Mystique and Destiney s wedding which doesn t quite go down as expected Their couple counseling byEmma which also contains an entertaining surprise And X Factor 9 Annual included at the very end where Mystique mourns Destiny s death Destiny was resurrected on Krakoa against Moira McTaggert s wishes Added bonus Chris Claremount s interview and the history of Mystique and Destiny s romance among the first LGBT romances in comics and how they jumped around the pesky 20th Century Comics Code to tell it Now it s not an issue since the Comics Code has long since been disbanded Skip the bit on Logan Betsy and Remyor skim it You won t miss much I m not sure I understand why they included the Logan storyline unless it was a shout out to good LGBTA teachers But Logan doesn t come to mind as a teacher of well anything Kitty yes Even Xavier Or maybe Emma But not Logan It felt off and out of character Iceman s romance is included for the male gay audience but I m not sure it was absolutely necessary And it s a reprint Also everyone looks like they are twelve Remy and Rogue Equally unnecessary and the art was not the best. X-men onslaught So an uneven read as is true with most anthologies It is however worth a look for Destiny and Mystique among the best romances in comics a romance between two female rogues Comics Graphic Novels I feel like this was a bit of a bait and switch It s billed as the never before told wedding of Mystique and Destiny but it s really just a renewal of their vows I wanted to see this be all about their original wedding This is all just a bunch of fluff padded out with two reprint stories to drive up the cover price The best parts about it are the 4 pages of prose covering their history and an interview with Chris Claremont about the intended nature of their relationship when he wrote them off and on in Uncanny X Men for the better part of 17 years Comics Graphic Novels Part grab during Pride MonthPart break from the Fall of X garbage flooding the newsstandsIt s an anthology of stories about the Destiny Mystique renewal of vows and other LGBTQ and some other letters I m sure I missed stories in the MU. X-Men kindle unlimited Best parts Rictor Northstar and Iceman talking about their first relationships That Iceman Romeo relationship is all kinds of time travel messed up The interview with Chris Claremont and how the Mystique Destiny relationship evolved Bonus Claremont s behind the scenes of dodging the Comics Code same sex ban in the 80 sBonus Bonus Did you know Marvel didn t break from the Comics Code until 2001 Comics Graphic Novels More of an anthology issue featuring some side characters than a main event special but I did enjoy the Logan story The art varied depending on the story the Emma Frost story likely had the best art but at the end of the day they could have trimmed 75% of the content and achieved a similar result Comics Graphic Novels Great final panel Obviously if you are reading X Men you ll read this It is a celebration of villainy and romance and the fall of censorship and the rise of pride Some of the tales required some backstory that I have not gotten to yet and at least one story took an abrupt turn that mandated a re read to figure out But the classics did that too Good stuff Comics Graphic Novels This was pretty cute and a nice palate cleanser after slogging through the godawful Fall of the House of X Rise of the Powers X event Comics Graphic Novels I kind of agree with one of the characters in this comic why are we celebrating the terrorist mass murder couple They re gay and that makes all their crimes okay But I do know these two have done a lot of heavy lifting for the Krakoan Age and have done a lot of redeeming but it does feel weird to highlight these two when there are so many other phenomenal Queer characters Also so weird to do this Pride month special in May Like literally drop this next week and it s in June Anyway had a fun time with it it s cute and gay or whatever so of course I ll like it Love being cute and gay Comics Graphic Novels A collection of shorts focusing on various X Members reactions to being invited to a wedding vow renewal As with most anthologies it s born through several creators making a tone and flow hard to establish when viewed as a collection Pretty obviously padded to justify the price tag it isn t exactly a daylight robbery experience but it is leaning towards it actual rating 2. X-men los 4 fantasticos 5 stars Comics Graphic Novels Typical no surprise event I hear the LGBTQIA message clear and loud but that doesn t make the book interesting Fluff all over the place choking cutesies unfunny jokes and not so good art to boot For true completists only Comics Graphic Novels I thought this would be a tribute a reflection of Destiny and Mystique over the years and what it has resulted in I thought this special was going to be a story that encapsulated all the trials and morally gray choices the two have made for each other and how love is still at the center of it all Instead what I got was a poorly structured story focused on queer Gen Z humor and stereotypes. X-men 2000 A wedding extravaganza is hardly the premise of this issue the anthology choppily centering on a vow renewal Not bad in theory but not what was advertised and certainly not what I think most were expecting The separate stories were okay but they felt random at times only being part of the special because of the queer characters They also felt very gimmicky and cringey pandering to a younger audience with way too much confidence Specifically the GenZ isms were not working for me Usually I can handle actual Gen Z characters saying things like Sapphic Sapphire and Bisexual Menace to refer to Mystique Even Anole s protest of Mystique as their queer rep which was actually so true and hilarious was fine But most of it felt so heavy handed like Marvel was trying to prove just how iconic Destiny and Mystique are Yet that falls through because they use other characters rather than the titular couple themselves to make the point Now this issue is not without a few positives some moments actually being really funny and the art being lovely which is not surprising Also I ll always love the Mystique and Destiny family thing they ve got going on so I enjoyed seeing it However I expected than a tongue in cheek take on Mystique and Destiny s relationship They really should ve just given Mystique and Destiny a story separate from Marvel Voices C est la vie I suppose Overall a poorly executed good idea. Comics graphic novels x-men 2 Also the we spit on the law is really cute in theory but felt so cheesy and out of character It s like the writers forgot that being queer doesn t magically transform personalities They re out here telling us Mystique is just a silly goofy girl when she actually isn t and I cringed reading this Comics Graphic Novels
