Hey Internet, this is bothering me:
Rictor and Shatterstar are not gay. They are bisexual. Girls AND boys. This isn’t a difficult concept to grasp.
In related news, another month, another awesome issue of X-Factor, the comic that no one ever talks about unless they’re talking about Rictor/Shatterstar and/or Rob Liefeld being pissed. And let me be the first to say, “Go eat a bag of hell, Liefeld.” There’s no reason why comic characters should stay forever exactly as originally envisioned. If they did, the genre would have died out in 1958 and none of us would be at this website today. And, if through some twist of fate comics were still around, Wolverine’s claws would be part of his gloves and Wonder Woman wouldn’t be able to fly. Unthinkable!
Whether Liefeld approves or not, X-Factor vol. 3 is far and away the best X-comic out there–it has been consistently well-written, interesting, dryly humorous and wonderfully illustrated. Peter David just writes a mean comic, seriously. I mean, how can you not get behind this? (Former and Current) Mutant Detective Agency! Inexplicable Time Travel! Pervasive Undercurrent of Weird Sexual Politics! Dude, Cyborg Cyclops! LONGSHOT!
