“In a sense it was delightful, because I was thrilled with Joe Kelly’s scripts, but in other aspects it was horrible. The stress surrounding these series is unbearable, and it was even worse for me, because I had just entered Marvel, wasn’t still sure how I wanted to draw, and was given the issue after Carlos Pacheco, for what the reader were going to be ready to hate on me”

Germán García on working on Marvel’s merry mutants

 ASTONISHINGBRETTWHITE ANSWERED: CANNONBALL STANDING UP TO STORM OVER THE WAY SHE WAS TREATING MARROW, AND REALIZING HE MAY NOT WANT TO BE AN X-MAN.

Why I think Joe Kelly’s (and Steven Seagle’s) run on X-Men (1991) is the most underrated run by any author on that title is easily explained just by numbering some of his (or their) greatest moments:

1. Cecilia Reyes stops whining about everything and starts being the BAMF we all know and appreciate
2. The Marrow vs. Wolverine issue (#72) was beautifully done with nods to the old BWS Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike issue, and set the stage for the amazingness that is X-Men (1991) #74
3. Storms reclaims her tiara (although this was a suggestion from artists Carlos Pacheco (#71)
4. Psi-War was the kind of event that Marvel wish they could do now, a two-part story that put Psylocke on the map again and had ripples through all the MU. Obviously if Marvel did this story now it would be in the form of a seven parts mini-series with tons of tie-ins.
5. Amazing artists almost every issue; Carlos Pacheco, German García, Adam Kubert, …
6. Kitty, Peter and Kurt rejoin the X-Men

These to name just a few, which was yours? Tell me and I’ll make a post with it, deal?
