Here be page 1 everyone.  I take the attitude that if my writing of this is trash, hey, it's still more than Marvel's going to do with her. I also took the approach of my headcanon that Lorna's had her powers since birth is a fact, because Marvel's never put out anything that legit says otherwise, and I know they're not going to anytime soon. So right now my claiming it has more authority. The family panel is meant to suggest how Lorna struggled as a teen without knowing and being connected to her Magnus family. |

Why is it important that Polaris has powers as an infant?

Why is it important that Polaris has powers as an infant? It's not "important" per se. She doesn't "have" to have been born with her powers. It's not like with other things about her (e.g. surviving Genosha) where it's an essential character element. But there's also nothing that says it can't be true, and I've grown fond of the idea as I've thought of baby Lorna using her powers and all. So I went with it, cause a) it's my commission, and b) it's not like Marvel cares about her enough to ever say or show otherwise. |

The color changing with persons is awesome. I cannot praise it enough! But pray tell me, is Lorna supposed to be second figure after Pietro? |

I LOVE THE FAMILY PANEL! The color changing with persons is awesome. I cannot praise it enough! But pray tell me, is Lorna supposed to be second figure after Pietro? Thank you! I'll share the enthusiastic response with Mlad next time I talk to him by E-mail.  The colors changing with person element was all his idea, and it's one of the things I love most from this page too. The woman next to Pietro is supposed to be Suzanna. The original idea was to have Crystal, Luna, Wiccan and Speed included too, but really I think this worked out much better. Baby Lorna was also a great touch on his part. My script for that panel was basically "We see the crib from afar, there's a glow coming from it and the mobile's spinning." Coming pages will start to get tougher for Lorna. Page 1 was setup + getting at the innocence of youth, before delving into the suffering she's gone through since she first joined the X-Men. |

It worked out super duper better! I love that writer/artist synergy that you two have. Pretty swell collaboration. But who is Suzanna, salarta?

Suzanna is Lorna's mother, as told in X-Factor #243. The name comes from Civil War: House of M, where the mother's name was Susanna. A lot else was different though (e.g. Susanna was blonde). |

Here be page 2.  I wrote up all my stuff on it on CBR. I know a few people on other sites that are gonna be pissed about me acknowledging and using pretty much all the moments on this page except the bottom one. I realize the whole "take/break/remake" thing is kinda cheesy and bad, but I'm a sucker for that kind of rhyming and it works for condensing all of this into one page. I didn't have the money for a deeper dive on these things. |

Page 3's arrived.  Two pages left. I'm thinking that perhaps there should be one more between this page and the next one I had planned, but if I did that, it would completely ruin the intended transition between pages. So more than likely I'll keep things as they are. |

Oh look, Marvel's at it again with excluding Lorna from things involving her family. Can't say it's cause of the retcon because Magneto's there, and can't say it's cause she's "too small/distant" because even Crystal and Luna are there.

Since this board is obscure for most people, I'm cool with posting this here now instead of waiting until St. Patrick's Day like I'm gonna do everywhere else. Commission with j-likes-to-draw!  Masks are there because I think the average person won't be able to tell that's Jean without the mask. I asked the artist to try the masks on their heads, but it looked weird when they added the masks, so this was the "compromise." |
