Magik's been working with Wanda for like ages. It's one of those things they never address. Probably falls under "Eh, I've almost caused the end of the known universe twice, it happens."I'm honestly surprised Magik has time to pursue a teaching career what with all the other x-men things going on.
And Wanda is working there too. That must be awkward...
I haven't seen them interact in Strange Academy yet. But I am only on issue 2.Magik's been working with Wanda for like ages. It's one of those things they never address. Probably falls under "Eh, I've almost caused the end of the known universe twice, it happens."
Don't think about KrakoaI'm honestly surprised Magik has time to pursue a teaching career what with all the other x-men things going on.

Xavier or at least Krakoa is using her as a boogeyman but it's only on one info page and the book never talks about her or quicksilver
they've interacted elsewhere, albeit before Hickman's run. But yeah Wanda and magik being around each other isn't odd.I haven't seen them interact in Strange Academy yet. But I am only on issue 2.
I mean, now that it's a thing that happened, it's kind of hard to fault characters for having an issue with Wanda? It was literal genocide. Unless they completely retcon it as a thing that happens, then yeah...
Y'all... look how they massacred InStockTrades. We were expecting an update, but not this. Not this.
Why'd you lie to her, though?A woman just knocked on my door asking for a cigarette and to come in. When I told her no and that I didn't smoke, she called me a lying cunt.
Just saying so long in case I die today 😂
Oh! Haha. That's interesting. I'm still not caught up, but I got cmx credit for my birthday, so I'll be buying more x-men comics soon.Nah, It's from the Cable XoS issue
there's some evil alien horde that invaded the SWORD space station and they came in through a portal that looks really similar to a Minecraft Nether Portal but is made out of dead bodies. At the end of the issue Cyclops seems to imply he plans on teleporting those aliens to Otherworld if things go south
Lol oh wow.A woman just knocked on my door asking for a cigarette and to come in. When I told her no and that I didn't smoke, she called me a lying cunt.

Why'd they make it look like a website for an iPad? It was said they would destroy digital, not join them!Y'all... look how they massacred InStockTrades. We were expecting an update, but not this. Not this.
This?
What is it with websites and dogshit redesigns?IST's new wishlist is annoying and it's hard to see what's in stock or isn't now. It was super clear before, also, my entire wishlist was on one page and now it's across 3 different pages.
It's the best.Hold up, Man-Thing is a teacher at the Strange Academy?
I love that guy.
Good educators are under-appreciatedHold up, Man-Thing is a teacher at the Strange Academy?

The problem is that it was a bad story where Wanda was a plot device, where the veil between fiction and reader was punctured and everyone came away understanding that nothing Wanda did was actually her fault. It's hard to build organic and satisfying conflict from that (see: over a decade of godawful X-Men stories about mutant genocide and literally nothing else) when the character we're meant to hold in contempt is as much a victim as those she wronged.
Remember post-AvX where Cyclops was a pariah? Same deets. We didn't resent Cyclops, we resented the writers for dragging him through the mud.
I love the idea of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as Magneto kids as a piece of connected world building, but Wanda was never popular enough to overcome what Bendis inflicted on her and it's for the best that the twins are now totally divorced from the X-brand.
IST was already barebones as hell but now they actually made it less readable. lol
Oh no, not that Azreal suit.Underhanded omnibus confirmation... the Batman: Road to No Man's Land Omnibus is getting into people's hands today and there's a teaser image at the very back. It reads "Continued in Batman: No Man's Land Omnibus Vol. 1..." In other words, at least two volumes of Batman: No Man's Land omnibuses in the works. Nothing too surprising, but good to have official.
Right, right, but Cyclops didn't commit genocide. Like, this is the problem. Wolverine kills a few folks, we let that slide. The issue isn't Wanda went bad for a bit, it's Wanda committed full genocide, and they haven't 100% divorced her from it. The Inhumans actually sort of have the same problem now.
yayyOh! Haha. That's interesting. I'm still not caught up, but I got cmx credit for my birthday, so I'll be buying more x-men comics soon.
Very true on both parts.I get that, but I'm saying nobody who actually cares about Scarlet Witch as a character is interested in holding her to task for it, because it's been 15 years and House of M is still the story that rendered her completely radioactive.
It is hella weird that it hasn't been explicitly undone, but all the damage has. Everyone's alive again. It's time to just forget it ever happened.
I also think the Inhumans, at the hands of writers who did not give a fuck about how those characters ticked, are now stuck in the same boat thanks to the Terrigen Mists storyline and how that affected the X-books, explicitly being positioned as replacements and antagonists to the X-Men (who, you know, have a lot more fans who are willing to spend money on X-Men comics).
You letting Sean Spicer go for being the President's mouthpiece for lies? No? Like, mutants died en masse when their powers shut off. The surviving ones got re-powered, but again... horror. So it probably makes sense in universe that folks ain't happy with it. Like, again... I get the thrust, rehab Scarlet Witch firmly, but also, logically mutants hating her and note, just hating her, not actually doing anything else... makes sense.I honestly thought the whole point of AvX was redemption for scarlet witch. She combined her powers with Hope and straight up reversed House of Ms effect. Like what the hell else do ya want?
Very true on both parts.
Yeah, Inhumans also need a reset, or to foist off the blame to mind control or something. And Beast continues to suffer for working with them.

theoretically all the people that died when their powers got turned off can be revived so it's like it never happened!
I say theoretically because we all know the revival system will be broken before too long
Then it got followed up by Uncanny "Scarlet Witch says Mutants have no culture" Avengers which tore the bandaid right off.

They uhh... really should do that. Now, while Hickman revival still works.
We don't talk about that. Though it did hurt Havok.
Six if anybody ever gets around to remembering that Beats and Angel helped LITERALLY destroy Hala.
