This is a huge story in X-Men canon, y’all! It’s Chris Claremont’s ‘God Loves, Man Kills’! This story was part of the basis of the second X-Men movie, in which Stryker was reimagined as a general instead of a televangelist. But as we’ll soon see, this story’s controversial for one very important scene. Let’s dive in!
Well. Kitty really dropped a bomb on her dance teacher in the last episode. I’m still reeling from it, decades later. How does Claremont follow this up? Let’s see.
Things are rapidly falling apart for the X-Men. Gotta say, a group of humans with guns taking down my favorite mutants seems pretty far-fetched. But it’s in the service of Claremont’s theme, so… let’s get to it!
The nightmare continues as the X-Men are stalked by an enemy that really shouldn’t have been able to get as far as they have. Let’s see the ruckus!
Did Kitty really get blowed up good? Let’s find out!
Man, I’d held this story in such high esteem, and revisiting it makes me think I was just young and non-discerning in my taste back when it came out. Regardless, let’s finish this thing off!
