![]() ![]() Don’t get me wrong- I wasn’t expecting Elma to suddenly forget all her ingrained prejudices, Miltown to solve all her anxiety problems, etc. ![]() The dialogue delivered, the actions taken, the entire chapter just immediately took me out of the sweep-you-away narrative I was expecting. There is an odd scene at the beginning of The Fated Sky that felt VERY forced to me. It was all done naturally and woven into the story in a way that felt effortless. Women fighting for equality in the workplace, Elma’s battle with anxiety, etc. One of the things I loved about The Calculating Stars, was how authentic it all felt to the time period. (I mean there is, but not one that’s preventing her from getting on the Mars ship.) There wasn’t any kind of intense battle for women’s equality. Having already read The Lady Astronaut of Mars, the ending was kind of a foregone conclusion. ![]() This was a large part of the problem for me. I was a little disappointed with this after The Calculating Stars, and at the time I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it might be.įirst things first- plot summary: Elma goes to Mars. I actually finished this a few days ago, but wanted to reflect on it a bit before writing this review. ![]()

They stripped down the core team to the bare bones of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Emma Frost, and Beast – all also acting as the staff at the Xavier school. Morrison created the first truly definitive period in X-Men history since Chris Claremont’s departure. X-Men (1991) was rechristened New X-Men in 2001 when Grant Morrison took the helm with issue #114, indicating their radical (and sometime controversial) departure from X-Men status quo. ![]() Last updated March 2023 with titles scheduled for release through August 2023.
