We can get THIS… but not a NXM with actual NXM?!

I got it from Julia Olimpia Piccinno after seeing her X-23 commission with the Sideshow statue pose! (It’s also amazing if you haven’t seen it!)

I will say it’s more affordable than most commission artists I have looked at and she offers both painted and digital! (I especially love the telekinetic kiss!)

They had the prime opportunity to have Melee, Axio, Bronze, the Outliers, and the newly created mutants be brand new students; possibly even bring back the abandoned squad idea from Academy and to offer new readers an easy vantage point into the X-Men…

And instead these writers are making the same error Anka’s “the Five Lights”…Aaron’s “WatXM”…Bendis “ANXM” and Strain’s creations all made…

Treating them like veterans and seasoned X-Men, who are somehow more trained than characters like “Wolf Cub” orSophie Cuckoo”. 🙄😒

We COULD have had Hellion running the “Hellions” squad with Scout, Axio, Calico and others…

Maybe a plotline on Axio choosing to hang around his “team” instead of Melee and Bronze and the difficulty of people making “new friends”/growing apart. Maybe Gabby freaking out about being “on the villain team”.

There’s frankly a lot of storylines they could have done.

Emma: "Hello, darling. Would you like to help your fellow mutants AND aggravate Cyclops at the same time?"

Hellion: "What's the plan?"

Emma: "So we have this Sinister tech-"
