not happeningさんのイラストまとめ

Nate seemingly dies in the process, not to return for many years.
It feels like a metaphor. An analog for the 1st/most well-known superhero has infected everyone, and only by exposing them to something new can the infection be broken.

I still wonder if there's an Ellis influence on the final issue of X-Man.
It features a Superman parody, teased a few issues earlier, but in this version, the alien infects the minds of everyone on Earth, and Nate Grey has to spread his consciousness across everyone to remove it.

Ellis leaves and Steven Grant handles the last few issues as sole writer and immediately does an Authority pastiche and idk if it was supposed to be a tribute or a joke or was always part of the plan but it's pretty funny

only late 90s comics fans will understand the pain of running head first into this fuckin war on drugs propaganda in the middle of your comic

Mysterio shows up in X-Man around the same time he's messing with Matt Murdock over in Daredevil. It can kind of line up as happening months before that though, if you ignore publication dates and just look at how he's trying to find Spidey's secret ID.

Cyclops gives Nate his old X-Factor uniform and it's kind of a cool moment but also kinda makes it seem like they don't get how the look was part of the appeal of the character. It's like a step down from dressing Gambit in this.

This is a pretty good look for Maddie Pryor.

betting a psychologist would have a field day with whoever's idea this was

remember when it used to be a big deal if a gwen stacy showed up? now it's just like "which gwen stacy is it tho?"
