It\u2019s a savage garden of multitudinous masculinities in which we\u2019re compelled to contend with a colossal party crasher with a figurative colossal chip on his shoulder and a literal colossal chip in his spine, and everyone takes a crack at a PSA about toxic traits. Helping us map the monstrous in our heroes is <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/mississippi-scholarship-online\/book\/37727\">Dr. Daniel J. Connell<\/a>, co-editor (with past guest Dr. Esther De Dauw!), of a spiffy book on the subject! We also get back to our roots with lots of Nightcrawler talk, and Anna complains about the devil\u2019s muscles.<\/p><p>\u201cI was attracted by the multiplicity of comics\u2026 the way that the ownership of interpretation is passed on to the audience.\u201d -Dan<\/p><p>\u201cThis is where I decided Ellis has something to offer the book.\u201d -Mav<\/p><p>\u201cI like the way this issue immediately pays off the melodramatic promise of the end of the last issue, by opening with the big fight. But then the rest of the issue is just talking, mostly about toxic masculinity.\u201d -Anna<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re all impacted by toxic masculinity. So for me, what\u2019s valuable about a story that contends with that, is that it gives us an opportunity to reappraise our values.\u201d Dan<\/p><p>\u201cNightcrawler is often a \u2018moral compass\u2019 character within the X-Men. So if you want to say the moral of the story, you have Kurt say it, because he\u2019s perceived as a reliable narrator.\u201d -Anna<\/p><p>\u201cIf you cut out the last page (where Kurt covers up Colossus\u2019 attempted murder), I like what this speech says about toxic masculinity, and the way Kurt\u2019s masculinity is being framed as an alternative.\u201d -Andrew<\/p><p>\u201cThere\u2019s an implication here that Piotr Rasputin is not able to express his emotions through anything other than anger and violence. And there are consequences to that.\u201d -Dan<\/p><p>\u201cKitty stepping through the bars is her making it very clear that Colossus can\u2019t hurt her.
