It still pushes the Love triangle that was always bullshit. Wolverine was creeping on Jean that's about it.
They seemed to right it a bit with xmen red or the return of Jean I forget which.
When old man Logan introduced himself as Logan but not your Logan.
Jean said no flat out I've never been your Jean.
Then again the xmen are acting pretty strange in general so it could be hand waved even the shoe drops.

Black Cat Annual#1 was great. A perfect middle finger from Marvel to DC for fowling up the Bat/Cat Wedding with a fun Peter and Felicia caper {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}It's perfect in how ambiguous the wedding is so both sets of 'shippers 'win'...they didn't use their real names in the ceremony, but they are legally hitched now..and that won't affect Peter and MJ, as Felicia reminds Peter he's got her waiting at home and she won't stand in the way of that. She calls him her favourite superhero and kisses him goodnight on the cheek. It's probably the cosiest Spidey book of the year, in a year that's been littered with them. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} How does that not affect Peter and Mary Jane? Married under a different name/identity or not, he’s now legally married to another woman. Don’t see how Mary Jane could possibly handle that well and not make Peter guilty of bigamy if he tries to marry Mary Jane. {Spoiler}I should have made it clearer that It's only legal under Maggia rules, not state law, which requires you to marry under your real names, Peter probably got the inspiration to want to propose to MJ again after this little adventure (once Aunt May nudged him of course) Nebula getting a mini-series from Vita Ayala www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/11/8790243/nebula-marvel-comic-book-release-date-details

I mean nothing ties their secret identity or real identity to the wedding

I’m still skeptical on the idea but it’s tons better than it being an actual state marriage. Take this and MJ unflinchingly lying to Peter about the movie director in her book and it leaves me wondering what the writers are doing.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Yeah, I'd be a bit worried, but I think it's their way of copying with what DC are doing with Lois and Clark "Hey, we've had a long-distance relationship for months and are withholding secrets from each other, but no worries we are totally in love and do everything together"

I hope Luthor's reaction is that he doesn't believe it. That there's no way Clark and Superman can be the same guy, as a callback to this story from the 80s:

{Spoiler}Interesting way to spoil that Lex is just going back to normal soon.
(I mean, not a shock, but still a flat out spoiler for those who are truly invested...)

DC February solicitations www.newsarama.com/47882-dc-comics-february-2020-solicitations.htmlStill no sign of Batman/Catwoman, but it appears Tynion is picking up on things from her title in the pages of Batman with The Penguin's return...funny, one issue's solicitation lists four suspects in the mystery of who hired the hit on the mayor, but the cover shows five..Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Harley and Selina, unless Selina isn't a suspect but is being paired with the villains because reasons(?) Steve Trevor returns to Wonder Woman...but now he's on a quest to avenge the loss of A.R.G.U.S and Diana has to save him from himself!

What better way to show how mutants are different from humans than have the X-Men engage in open, polyamorous relationships when humans are too tied to sequential monogamy. We already have Krakoan as a mutant language. Back in the Morrison days, I liked the idea of mutant art and culture that emerged independent of human art and culture. If Hickman eventually wants to make the X in X-Men stand for "experimentation," then he should go all the way with it: Logan and Jean, Logan and Emma, Jean and Emma, and Scott and Logan hooking up, for example, would probably resolve a lot of the personal problems between those characters.

Here are some comments Alan Moore made a couple of years ago that have finally been released in English. Interestingly, despite saying these things at the end of 2016, his remarks are echoes of some of the more timely discussions about the successes of superhero popular culture (and the broader social and political implications of those successes). Of course, how much of this is simply Moore snark or a genuine opinion is up for debate. alanmooreworld.blogspot.com/2019/11/moore-on-jerusalem-eternalism-anarchy.html

While the vast majority of superheroes are still white, I do believe the recent push for more diverse characters is a good start. Something I hope continues to march forward tbh. The white supremacist line is a bit over the top though, I guess that makes sense though to get the point across.

Here are some comments Alan Moore made a couple of years ago Primarily, mass-market superhero movies seem to be abetting an audience who do not wish to relinquish their grip on (a) their relatively reassuring childhoods, or (b) the relatively reassuring 20th century. The continuing popularity of these movies to me suggests some kind of deliberate, self-imposed state of emotional arrest, combined with an numbing condition of cultural stasis that can be witnessed in comics, movies, popular music and, indeed, right across the cultural spectrum. Hey Alan, you remember all that great, award-winning stuff you wrote in a very short amount of time? Watchmen? Marvelman? V For Vendetta? Killing Joke? All that "suggested for mature readers" stuff you did that revolutionized the comic industry, gave a hefty legitimacy to the existence of the "graphic novel" and told people it was okay to be an adult comic reader? You're kinda Ground Zero for all this, buddy.

Bendis shoots down speculation that he is giving Lois and Clark a second child, claiming it would be more of a "dick move" than ageing up Jon, and the reason Lois is still working in Chicago is because he wants to respect the months-long process it takes to write a book twitter.com/BRIANMBENDIS/status/1196667779157413889

If the X-Men comics want to portray a unique mutant culture, that's great. If they want polyamory to be apart of that culture, that's fine. But if they're gonna do that they need to demonstrate some kinda of societal reason for why they would adopt that cultural trait. Without it it's not about culture, it's just the book humoring the authors kink and his piss-poor interpretation of the characters histories with each other.
