For the first time in the franchise’s 50-plus years of existence, the latest edition of the X-Men team doesn’t have any actual men in it. Not only that, but the likes of Storm, Rogue and Jubilee aren’t the faces of a spin-off faction of the X-Men; they are the X-Men. If that doesn’t make a statement about gender roles in comics, I don’t know what will.
From a distance, this may appear to simply be a gimmick. One that allows them to either go overboard with the sex appeal or preach the gospel of girl power. However, if Vol.1: Primer is an indication of things to come, then this iteration of the X-Men simply wants to win you over with a quality superhero story for anyone to enjoy.
