It's rather condescending, given how "meta" Morrison's work can be ("Oh, we white people have evolved beyond bright spandex costumes and are now fabulous and sexy, but those brown people in Asia, bless their hearts, still go for that silly stuff").GenoaCityGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-53020144794254905732010-10-05T22:35:52.578-04:002010-10-05T22:35:52.578-04:00No bad issues is a statistical impossibility. The...No bad issues is a statistical impossibility. There has never been a "run" without a single "bad issue." Yet, there have been great runs. Runs that truly redefined the way a comic was viewed, read, interpreted, and remembered. I'm not saying New X-Men was a great run, mind you, and not entirely disagreeing with the faults found therein, but it was unquestionably a very good run with only a handful of "bad issues."<br /><br />-- mortsleamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-39512601747376900372010-04-10T13:32:20.657-04:002010-04-10T13:32:20.657-04:00Actually, Dust was from Afghanistan, she wasn'...Actually, Dust was from Afghanistan, she wasn't Arab. Unless you're making a point I just didn't get? Sorry, I'm Arab, and these things kind of bug me. <br /><br />I was pissed off at one bit of dialogue, where Morrison comments about someone speaking Pakistani.

She couldn't find an underling to send? Maybe with a more high-tech manner of death? Just silly.Matt Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780688232878059439noreply@blogger.com
