I loved X-Men Red from beginning to end, and I had to celebrate Storm continuing to be amazing.

SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEKS X-MEN RED ISSUE:
I just have a lot of thoughts about this weeks issue of Xmen red….. Hmn I’m not overly happy if I’m being honest here. First of all I think it’s good that Charles has finally decided he needs to talk about Erik, he’s clearly not been okay ever since he died. But I really don’t like some of the dialogue here, I don’t like the insinuation that Mr Charles and Erik, aka “we are one and the same”, “we know eachother better than we know ourselves”, THAT Charles and Erik, you’re telling me that Erik never opened up about his true self to Charles, like come on now, what kind of absolute bullshit writing is that??? Sometimes I feel like the writers have NO real understanding of the characters they are dealing with and the backstory of said character’s. If anything, CHARLES was the ONLY ONE Erik could be his true self with, and that has been expressed a multitude of times throughout comics. I just find it weird that they’ve flipped it so that we’re supposed to think Ororo somehow knew him better? Just because they got closer before he died, there’s no way.
I think it’s sweet that Ororo confirmed to Charles that Erik was thinking of him as he died, and that he was worried about Charles because he cared so much for Charles. But I honestly just think it’s all watered down compared to what could have been if they treated Charles and Erik like who they are, and who they’ve always been to eachother. Their worlds have always revolved around eachother and their shared dream, and somehow despite many obstacles they always end up back together, if only for a little while before the world rips them apart again. So in conclusion I just think this doesn’t seem right, this doesn’t fit. I think Charles anger and his desperate fear is really good, and quite realistic, he misses Erik, he’s not over his death and it’s taking a deep toll on him. But marvel needs to stop downplaying their relationship.
If you’re not going to give us the non platonic relationship between them that we deserve, then for fucks sake don’t also downplay and water down their general relationship.

the foreshadowing in xmen red #1 where max says he no longer has a heart and then him dying because his heart was literally ripped out later in the run is so genius

"There are no thrones on Arakko, emperor. Pass it on."
Man you have no idea how much I wanted to do a Storm piece, especially in the X-Men Red outfit; it took me a while to figure out what kind of pose I wanted to do, but also to gain the confidence in my ability to draw it to pull it off for multiple elements.
There's a few things I want to go back and, I feel like iron out is a poor choice of words, but touching up is also not a good one; that implies there's something wrong, when I just like tinkering and I also realize that endlessly chasing perfection is somewhat pointless in art; but overall and aside from nitpicks I'm very happy in what I ended up putting out there.
Let this be a lesson in self-esteem, I guess?
