Free Comic Book Day X-Men #1 STARRING PIXIE!!!!
THANKS MARVEL COMICS FOR A GREAT FREEBIE!!!
OK, I loved “New X-Men” once it became the students book, despite the semi- cute mangish style of the artwork which for me somewhat disconnects from the seriousness of the events. I found Pixie interesting even BEFORE soulless Illyanna made her a soul knife and taught her some spells (she seems to know enough magic to teleport the whole team without warning).
I’ve scanned a few pages from the story that show off Pixie’s strength of character. Pixie kinda reminds me of a combination of Kitty Pryde and Illyanna Rasputin. The X-Men have a history of spunky young female sidekickesque characters (Shadowcat, Jubilee) and I think pixie should be next. She proves this issue that she has X-Men potential, and I for one can’t wait to see her grow into it.

Discussion after the jump…
I think the anime style of New X-Men and the innate cuteness of how Pixie was depicted there made me less interested in the character. Now the adventure in Limbo has given her an edge and I’ve seen her drawn in a more realistic fashion, I’m REALLy excited to see more. I hope she doesn’t get the Blink treatment. Blink was just starting to look promising when they killed her off. Happy as I was to see her show up in AoA and crossover during Exiles, i think if the regular Marvel U Blink had lived, she could have been quite an X-Man.
