Looking at how powerful Diana was when she removed her bracelets, is that something carried over into the rest of the New 52 series? The powers, the Gods' family squabbles and the whole structure of the series makes it seem like a non-cape book.

I don't believe this is ever really touched on again.

I feel like lettering is one those really unsung aspects, I think a lot of thought goes into their placement, their look, what words gets dat bold emphasis. All that shit really affects the reading experience. I've seen some gorgeous comics fucked up by wack lettering, like all that cursive shit that looks damn near unreadable in early 90s Batman comics that was hot for a minute post-Year One.

Dustin Harbin's lettering on Casanova is superb (don't open the second image in sensitive environments):

That whole plot point is why I can't stand young Jean. I don't know why It hasn't been raked over the coals like Remender's m word speech. It's so awkwardly done, so invasive and cruel what Jean/Bendis did. Then of course people are confused with current bobby and Bendis shuffles his feet and goes...uh resolved soon! And flees.

I have no problem if they want to make bobby gay, but you don't have Jean once again violate his thoughts, then out him in public, then use stupid terms like full gay, like she would know. It wasn't positive, or progressive it was ham fisted and done for shock value with no thought of the ripple effects.

You could have easily had the same story beat where Jean picks up on some things, and just starts to talk to bobby one on one. And over time Bobby starts to resolve his feelings and behaviors. And then him on his own terms tells people and it was with his friends help realized it. And finally Jean could have done something nice and positive for her friends for a change.

The way it reads it could easily be interpreted that Jean is disgusted by Bobbys behavior and uses her powers to convince him he's gay. And hell in not convinced Bendis Jean wouldn't do that.

Remember true believers, bisexual men don't exist!

At this point I wouldn't put it past Jean to mindfuck Bobby into being gay because she wanted to be right.

I think a hidden talent of good comics artists is to anticipate word balloon integration so it flows nicely. I've read some complaints from letterers about the way that artists arrange their characters that gives me pause when I draw.

Fine. But it never comes back to bite her. Everyone goes "oh Jean" shakes their head and moves on. And then treat her as the most important xmen in the history of ever at every moment. And Bendis makes every story primarily about her

Ive only read up to the end of trial of Jean Grey, so with that in mind, while I dont think you're wrong about her not facing many of the consequences she should due to her actions, I think the cast in the book tend to contextualize her as a kid making shitty decisions. She gets called out on it and some of her relationships deteriorate because of it. Young Cyclops finds out he's gonna marry her and then decides he better bail to hang with his pops.

As for the series being Jean centric, Im totally cool with that. we've had far more X-Men comics revolving around Cyke, Wolverine and Prof X.

Young Jean is constantly invading people's minds and reading their thoughts. So it's not exactly outside of her characters comfort zone to do that.

Ugh I just blew my comic budget for the month on an arcade stick. Good thing I have a realitively large backlog to go through.
