6/17/2023 0 Comments Domino x men![]() ![]() Her solo series had Dom finding friends outside the X-line, while in books like Jim Zub and Thony Silas’ “Mystery in Madripoor,” she gets shade from Storm, Psylocke and the rest of the traditional X-Women who just want her to shut up and fly the plane. In other ways, it’s another example of how Domino has always been othered from the X-women. (P.S.: Isn’t it weird that two issues of X-Force have ended with mutants being killed in a paradigm where they’ll just get resurrected anyway?) She has to live scarred by what’s been done to her, physically and emotionally at least for a while. ![]() In some ways, Neena gets it worse than characters who have been killed in the book, like Xavier and Quentin Quire, because what’s been done to her doesn’t trigger the magic reset that is the resurrection protocols. While X-women like Betsy Braddock, Kate Pryde, Emma Frost and even Kwannon have reached new heights of agency under the current status quo, Domino, prior to this issue, had felt like she’d taken a step backward, a victim of the book’s plot. Naturally, this keeps her sidelined for a few issues.įinally, in last week’s “X-Force” #5 – after some biotech assistance from Forge, who’s been reveling in his role as ‘80s action movie Q as of late – Domino gets her revenge, and gets to return the favor by saving a sliced-in-half Wolverine from their opponents. Domino’s last major pre-Krakoa outing, the five-issue “Domino: Hotshots” series by Gail Simone, David Baldeon and Michael Shelfer, sees Neena Thurman expanding her all-woman hit squad internationally, getting validated by A-list characters like Black Widow and Iron Man as she and friends Outlaw and Diamondback fight scientists who are overtaken by Celestial technology.įlash forward a few months later to Dom’s “Dawn of X” debut, in Benjamin Percy and Joshua Cassara’s “X-Force” #1, and we find our hero infiltrating a new post-human cabal, only to be quickly found out and bereft of half her skin. ![]()
