  11. X-Men ’97 – Season 2 | TV Review

    It’s always easy to remember how much the X-Men rule whenever you’re watching X-Men ’97. Season 2 has come and gone, and I can’t wait for season 3. What a fantastic show.

    I know a lot of people are down on season two for whatever reason, and I of course agree that it didn’t have the same that moments in season one had. But, you should always expect the first season to be better than the second season of shows.

    I really liked the stuff of Apocalypse, and I’m interested to see where he pops up next now that he’s essentially trapped. He is and always will be the ultimate villain after humanity.

    Magneto’s death scene was wild. I wasn’t expecting it at all and just assumed that they would be rescued at the last possible second. My assumption will be that he will make his return in season three (similar to Gambit this season)

    One of the great things about this show is how they made Polaris a big deal. She feels like a main member of the X-Men now, and they worked hard to get that across. It wasn’t just a “Well, she’s here now.” It was well earned.

    My big complaint is going to be a big one for everyone in that it sure felt like Gambit’s return was rushed. It didn’t feel like they let you sit with it at all.

    I don’t think this season had the highs of Season 1, but it certainly didn’t have the lows for me. Yes, I’m looking at you Mojo. I never need to see you again.

    Bring on season three!

  31. A Look Back at X-Men 2099 #12 (1994)

    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.  

    Looking back at the X-Men 2099 series of the 1990s, so much has developed during the first eleven issues released from 1993 to 1994. When I first read issue #1 in 1993, I found the futuristic X-Men really intriguing to follow and there was the expectation that the team led by Xi’an would somehow grow and make breakthroughs happen in 2099’s America. Surprisingly, members of the team got separated from each other – such as losing Metalhead to the Freakshow – and Xi’an himself changed for the worse and eventually left the team. Tim Fitzgerald/Skullfire (the weak and unsure newcomer who joined the futuristic X-Men) himself changed radically becoming unhinged and he has gotten really close with Luna (the one who messed with his mind and triggered his emotions).

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at X-Men 2099 #12, 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 in the black market mall with Luna struggling to separate Skullfire and Junkpile from each other. Skullfire hates Junkpile whom he holds responsible for killing his friend Serpentina (the one X-Men member who welcomed him at their sanctuary). Junkpile blames Skullfire and his teammates for causing him some serious grief in Las Vegas. Luna tells them both to shut up or she would do something on both of them.

    Moments later, the three of them are accused by the mall security for violating the market regulations. An armed mall security officer points his weapon at them accusing them of willful destruction of market property. The looks of Junkpile, Luna and Skullfire, however, scared him and convinced him to move away. Luna then reveals to Skullfire that she encountered Junkpile outside of Las Vegas shortly after the violent encounter with the X-Men. The three of them proceeded to a café to have a civil talk. Skullfire asks Luna about the Theater of Pain…

    Quality

    Former X-Men member Metalhead with the group of degenerates called the Freakshow. One of their members clearly rejects him given his status as a mutant.

    Wow! The Moore-Lim team loaded this comic book with immense details that established the true force of opposition that awaits the X-Men. The story reveals to readers the Theater of Pain, its demonic leader Brimstone Love and what the theater’s purpose truly is. Brimstone Love and the theater were first revealed at the very end of issue #3 and this comic book offers readers a close look at them complete with very intriguing details that turned out to be worth discovering. That said, it was clear that John Francis Moore designed the Theater of Pain to be not just a planned force of evil the X-Men must face but also an actual threat to many living in 2099’s America. The Theater of Pain has a very sinister agenda and its operations involves the accumulating human misery which is a frightening concept on its own.

    While Luna’s history and connection with the Theater of Pain is emphasized, Xi’an’s search for the Driver makes a lot more sense here as the former X-Men leader (now sinister and spiritually lost) communicates again with someone from his past. That said, the plot really thickened a lot in this comic book and that alone makes it engaging to follow.

    As this issue follows Skullfire, Luna, Junkpile and Xi’an – plus a quick look at former X-Men member Metalhead now spending time with the Freakshow – the tone of the tale turned dark and gritty which I think was intentionally done by the creators as the Theater of Pain was strongly emphasized. That said, this is indeed inspired work.

    Conclusion

    Skullfire, Junkpile and Luna look so intimidating and creepy, the mall security guy got scared and abandoned his duty.

    With a dark tale and an established force of evil rising in the horizon, X-Men 2099 #12 (1994) can be described as an inspired turn of events for the monthly series as a whole. At this stage, the direction of the series really started to take shape. It is also a lively reminder that the mutants struggling in 2099 have the wilderness and its violent elements as the least of their worries. The Theater of Pain itself is a reminder about sinister yet unseen forces that are operating while lots of people remain unaware of them (note: think about the World Economic Forum and what its core organization really do behind closed doors as time passes). Lastly, the twisted developments of Skullfire and Xi’an’s respective personalities will keep you in suspense as to how the futuristic X-Men can survive without them.

    Overall, X-Men 2099 #12 (1994) is recommended.
