Save Emma Frost: That’s Just What Morrison Did.

My favorite thing about Morrison’s New X-Men. The opening dialogue, wherein Professor X’s understated yet obvious vanity has him telling Jean Grey, (despite her bad planet-gobbling habit) the nicest girl on Earth, that she’s his natural replacement (since she’s so good and all). Then comes this little minx. She’s got X’s vanity, passion for teaching the young, and powers set. She makes them both obsolete, showing that her shades of grey and bad childhood give her more insight and experience in dealing with the youth. She’s a more logical fit for the adult and complex Scott, winds up replacing them both as a result, and does it with unparalleled panache.
