#sabertooth war

It's interesting in retrospect. Quentin says here, nobody cares about him... It is a bunch of self-loathing crap because he has been dumped by Phoebe Cuckoo for showing he feels too many things for her at the moment.

But Idie Okonkwo, his ex-girlfriend, connects with his last memories, the memories of how he dies, and her first instict is to put her life in jeopardy to avenge him...

Their angst is so delicious, I wonder how Marvel just forgot about it like that...

In conclusion: He couldn't be more wrong. Even if it's one person, or two, maybe even three... he has people that care about him, Idie and Logan (maybe) the firsts in line.

Him feeling too much and being too much was never the problem for Idie either, it was his secretive nature.

That bleeding into the actual run is also fascinating, she feels petty, that he didn't try and save her from being exiled, but he didn't even know like that... it was made in private by Xavier and Magneto.

I wonder if they're going to address that she knows and SAW throu his memories what happened to him by the hands of Sabertooth | Victor Creed and how that bonds them, even stronger than when they were children.

They really care for eachother deeply, it's really wholesome. The love and appreciation for eachother, their understanding of eachother has everything to do with them trying to evolve, always.

Their characters evolve and get better, always, when they are around eachother. Everything you love about them is when they're together, they are better.

Something weird is up with Quintavius Quirinus Quire, he seems depressed, he is traumatized, surely but.... How did he come back to life? I want to see it being addressed.

Quentin was crashing out over Idie... Sophie dying and him leaving Idie when he left the school at real impact on his life. He told Benjamin all about it.

He has a soft-spot for her specially; he is so scared and so is she, she does not want to be hurt by him having whims again... Why even after all this time, even dead... why did his brain send Idie those visions? Felt so cruel by writers.

Quentin wasn't just any friend to Idie either. The first boy she had kissed, the first person she was ever in love with.

Their connection even in the afterlife and her anger for him, her knowing him better, is what keeps me going.

She knows Quentin fought Sabertooth, blasting Logan to not hurt him. She knows how much Quentin loved Logan.

I wonder how they're going to show their relationship now in comics, they're teaming up up together and they're bickering. The trauma, the unresolved things between them.

She saw him die... for God's sake. She deserves to be petty but also... what about what made them great?

I wrote some reviews! I'm gonna try something new and collect them in this little post here with links to both of them. Let's start with Wolverine #41.

Loved this issue, I thought the "The most violent Wolverine story ever told" thing was a little silly, but they are really taking a go at it and honestly? It works. Percy has a great voice for Logan and Victor LaValle has done some exquisite Sabertooth stories, so putting them together is going to be a real treat.

Moving onto the next title, Rise Of The Powers Of X #1!

I also loved this issue. Gillen has been consistently one of my favorite writers working at Marvel, he and R. B. Silva really delivered on the promise of this book and make a effort worthy of the name Powers Of X. There are many appropriately epic moments, everything feels as climactic as you would expect and hope for it to be.
