Claremont writing Avengers! First appearance of rogue! Spider-woman glides through the air carrying Carol Danvers between her fucking spider-thighs, holy god damn shit!
For all intents and purposes this is a pretty standard super hero romp, there's a new villain in town, this villain is in league with older villains, that villain gets the drop on the heroes, the heroes make new allies and stop a prisonbreak, resetting things to the status quo.
We get another Mystique and Destiny appearance, which is always so incredible. I can't believe that no one at Marvel realized they were gay when Mystique is calling her shit like Irenie.
Speaking of gay, Jessica and Carol Danvers are having incredibly gay thoughts about eachother for this entire issue and there's nothing you can tell me that will convince me otherwise. Knowing Claremont, I'm fairly certain that was intentional as well
The art in this is sort of hit or miss, and more often miss than not. There's a couple close up panel are just creepy (Demon baby xavier isn’t real and he can't hurt you)
The epilogue of this is pretty nuts.I haven't read any other avengers comics so I don't know the full context, but it really loved when Carol was like "Hey guys? Remeber when I got pregnant and carried it to term in a single day? Remember how rather than helping me you all made jokes? Remember how you trivialized any potential danger to me and instead were only concerned about the baby? And remember when the baby grew into a grownass man overnight? Remember how that man told you he had subtly fucking altered my thoughts to make me fall in love with him? Remember how that didn't raise any flags for you at all? And remember how you were more than happy to say goodbye to me forever so that he could take me to his private hell dimension where literally everything was under his control? Remember all that? Yeah, fuck you guys." And then the way home Wanda was like "OMG that was so scary! I mean, imagine if that happened to meee". Such a Claremont way to write superhero stories, I absolutely love itt
But don't let any if that distract you from the fact that Spider-woman glided over the San Fancisco Bay holding on to Carol Danvers with her fucking thighs
