I’ll admit I’ve been feeling less and less enamored with comics in general as time has gone by. One moment is taking the opportunity to look at that one page or panel or scene that reminds me why we love comics. I mentioned this one on Comics Radar Issue 88.
I wasn’t really a fan of Quentin Quire in Grant Morrison’s X-men. He seemed to be a poor mix of the maniacal aspects of Magneto and the super clique that exists in mass media interpretation of high school. He was a dick for the sake of being a dick with very little depth.
Then he appeared in a few other things, that I hadn’t read where he apparently cast off his physical form, brought back the phoenix to resurrect his crush who hated him and then tried to destroy the X-men’s mutant haven, Utopia.
Wolverine and the X-Men brings him back, but grounds him a bit more. Now he’s surrounded by others who are just as, or maybe more powerful than him. So he’s trying to reestablish himself as the bad ass, while trying to fit in with this new peer group.
This panel kind of exemplifies that new status quo, while at the same time showing the simple fun aspect of this X-book that I think has been missing from the X-universe.
If you have a moment that you just loved, or that reminded you why comics are awesome, feel free to email it to me at: john@comicsradar.com. New comics or classic moments, both are loved.
