  6. 116- X-Force Part 3

    Brereton seems to have lost count of the characters, putting 2 each on the first two cards then cramming four onto the last card. 😆

  9. A Look Back at X-Men 2099 #11 (1994)

    Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research.

    Welcome back, superhero enthusiasts, 1990s culture enthusiasts, X-Men fans and comic book collectors! Today we revisit the Marvel Comics shared universe to examine one of the many tales of the X-Men 2099 monthly series.  

    If there is anything notable about the futuristic X-Men, it is the separation of the team members that started really early in the monthly series. Meanstreak left the team to pursue something personal. A few members of the team – including Meanstreak – got involved in the Fall of the Hammer crossover storyline (click here, here and here), Metalhead got infected and decides to leave the team to stay with another group, and their leader Xi’an lost his way.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at X-Men 2099 #11, published by Marvel Comics in 1994 with a story written by John Francis Moore and drawn by Ron Lim.

    The cover.

    Early story

    The story begins with Tim Fitzgerald/Skullfire and Luna enjoying their time together outdoors. Tim, whose personality has changed into becoming radical and wild, tells her that he has not forgotten the anguish she put him in through the darkroom which made him relive the death of his beloved Reiko from some time ago.

    As the tension between Tim and Luna intensifies, Xi’an tells him that they have to go to El Paso in Texas. It was Luna’s first time to meet Xi’an. The former leader of the X-Men states that they are closing in on the Driver…

    Quality

    Skullfire blasts Junkpile, the one responsible for the death of Sepertina (see X-Men 2099 #3).

    Given the way the members of the X-Men got separated, the Moore-Lim duo succeeded in telling an intriguing story without even having a clear enemy for them to encounter. This is a tale about a drastically changed Xi’an (now arrogant and with an agenda of his own) develops into someone becoming more undesirable and dangerous with the passage of time. Similarly, Tim here is turning more unhinged and dangerous as he gradually turns into Skullfire (personally and visually) and Luna here is ironically the one keeping him stable.

    On the other side, the remaining X-Men are still together but with a huge cloud of doubt over them. At this stage, Shakti/Cerebra – who was the faithful second-in-command when Xi’an still led the team – is taking more responsibilities as she gradually becomes the team leader. The writing done by John Francis Moore is rich when Shakti sticks strongly to principles during her interaction with Meanstreak who himself has turned uncertain about their status as a team. That said, there are certain traits of Xi’an visible in Shakti. Along the way, a few friends of the X-Men went away which added to the uncertainty that hounded them.

    With regards to the reveal of the Driver on the cover of this comic book, the tale indeed reveals him and a new story thread about him was gradually built up. The Driver is Xi’an’s target and his act of helping one of the X-Men’s friends added to the suspense over what could happen next.

    Conclusion

    As the new leader of the X-Men, Shakti remains very principled. Her talk with Meanstreak in this scene is meaningful.

    X-Men 2099 #11 (1994) is a very character-driven story from start to finish and the good news is that it is engaging and entertaining to read. The lack of a good-versus-evil conflict never hurt the story at all as Moore and Lim went deep to develop Tim, Xi’an and others while building up the pending encounter with the Driver. Not only that, having Tim and Xi’an more radicalized reflect the atmosphere of uncertainty and danger in the region (with lots of wilderness throughout and far away from the metropolis dominated by Alchemax) within America of 2099. It is a good read and I enjoyed the character development done by the creative duo.

    Overall, X-Men 2099 #11 (1994) is recommended.

    Still appreciate that Marvel resisted the urge to introduce this revamp of the series via a new #1 issue.

  12. 116- X-Force Part 2

    This cardback is Magik erasure!

    Also, why did all the pre-X-Force departures involve characters with codenames which start with "M"?
