"Thank you, Mr. Narrator!"
Jun. 28th, 2024 06:44 pmI haven't followed current X-Men comics continuity for years, but when one of my oldest friends messaged me on Tumblr with news of this upcoming story, I screamed internally.
I've enjoyed most appearances of the Sentinels across a variety of media, no matter who was controlling them, but, for those who don't know, Larry Trask in particular is one of my favorite obscure X-Men villains ever, and there was a time when I chased down every single one of his appearances in either comics or fanfic, even if I thought the stories were terrible. (And then sometimes the aforementioned friend and I would stay up way too late on AIM talking about why they were terrible.) I'm planning a Throwback Thursday post about my guy for later in the summer, so I won't talk too much about my Big Feelings at the moment, but apparently my yearning for more stories about him - like most of my great fannish loves - never really went away entirely.
