X-men Supreme Issue 147: Vengeful Anarchy is LIVE!


When it comes to the X-men’s many enemies, they tend to bring out the best and the worst in them. A big part of the X-men’s mythos is built around how Magneto and Charles Xavier complement one another as adversaries and friends. You could say the same about Wolverine and Sabretooth. When the X-men clash with their enemies, it leaves a mark, for better and for worse.

There have been many of these clashes throughout the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Clashes like Uprising, Overlord, the Phoenix Saga, and Outer Limits each gave the X-men a chance to be the best they can be. These stories gave characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Charles Xavier, Storm, and Wolverine a chance to be great. They made for some of the most powerful moments in the history of X-men Supreme. Well, I can now say that the end of X-men Supreme Volume 6: Liberation Decimation will create a very different kind of moment for the X-men.

Since the beginning of X-men Supreme Volume 6, which marked the rise of the Mutant Liberation Front and the beginning of a major transition for Charles Xavier, the X-men have struggled to adapt to changing conflicts. The Mutant Liberation Front really changed the nature of the human/mutant struggle. They made it so that being heroes just wasn’t enough. The X-men couldn’t just save the day and expect that to set an example for mutants everywhere. The Mutant Liberation Front left scars on everyone, from the X-men to Genosha to President Kelly, that are just starting to fester.

I’ve been guiding X-men Supreme towards a very pivotal moment, one that I’ve been setting up since I introduced General Grimshaw and Captain Freeman back in X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear. Since they’re OCs, I’ve been hesitant to put them in more prominent roles. I know people read X-men Supreme for the X-men and not characters they’ve never seen before. Well, they’ve had a while to establish themselves in this fanfiction series. Now, they’re about to play a much larger role in the future of X-men Supreme.

That role will emerge as the X-men face the final conflict in X-men Supreme Volume 6: Liberation Decimation. It began with the Mutant Liberation Front. It’s only fitting that it ends with the Mutant Liberation Front. Stryfe, the last one standing, is about to strike the X-men where it hurts most. This time, there’s no way around it. The result of this battle will change the X-men and the course of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Hearts will be broken. Spirits will be crushed. This will be a defining issue for multiple characters, albeit for very solemn reasons. Expect this to be an issue that will reverberate throughout the X-men Supreme fanfiction series for a long time to come.

X-men Supreme Issue 147: Vengeful Anarchy

Big moments like this don’t come along often in this fanfiction series. I always try to build towards them, making sure they unfold in way that makes X-men Supreme more awesome. I have a feeling the conclusion of X-men Supreme Volume 6: Liberation Decimation will leave many X-men fans very worried, but I also hope they’ll be intrigued. The damage done at the conclusion of this stage of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series will run deep, but it’ll do so in a way that will bring out the best in these characters. I hope X-men fans will appreciate the sentiment.

During such tenuous times, both within X-men Supreme and the X-men comics, it’s very important that I continue to get feedback. I expect I’ll get plenty of anxious comments from X-men fans of all types, especially after this and the next issue play out. I want to hear those comments. I want to respond to them and I want to get people excited about the future of X-men Supreme. I can’t do that unless people take the time to review. Either contact me directly or post your comments directly in the issue. Either way is fine and I’m always happy to chat. Until next time, take care and best wishes. Xcelsior!
