Back when we blogged...ugh...the Draco, we were introduced to Kurt's half-brothers, Nils "Abyss" Styger and Kiwi Black; and I don't think that was all of them, Azazel maybe had a lot of kids. Many of whom he probably ate or something, but still. And, we've also seen Kurt's half-brother on his mom Mystique's side, mutant-hater Greydon Creed. But, with the recent retcon of Kurt's parentage, he's not related to Azazel anymore, so he's not really related to Abyss or Kiwi anymore; which doesn't really matter story-wise since they aren't seen much (Abyss maybe got killed again recently) but Kurt had several adopted siblings and probably would keep in touch as much as possible. (Kurt's Christmas cards are probably a blast! "Oh, look, he went to the Savage Land and Genosha this year.")

Oooh, AOA Kurt!!!! KEEN!!!!
Well this should be a fun & interesting plot to take us into summer.
Speaking of interesting, your take on them as being essentially superpowered homeschooled kids who never outgrew their sheltered upbringing despite roaming the plant like Kane from the original Kung Fu series, feels pretty accurate. Probably not what Kirby originally intended when he created them, but I like this take much better even though they seem pretty insufferable.
I’ve actually been reading a bunch of Chuck Austen lately, and most of it’s pretty good. It seems like it was just his big name stuff like X-Men and Action Comics that was bad. US War Machine was pretty good and so were most of the Call of Duty miniseries. I also liked the Jimmy Olsen miniseries he did and even his JLA storyline, but the independent stuff is probably where he’s strongest.
Someone actually & unironically praising Chuck Austin!?!? In the year of our lord 2025!? We really ARE living in dark times….
Well yeah- good comics are good comics, no matter who wrote them or what else they wrote. It’s not as if I’m a big X-Men reader anyway- I have very few Marvel comics that I’ve read more than 2 issues of, and X-books seem to be the most ‘you have to buy everything to get what’s going on’ of the bunch. Most of this stuff I was going into blind, no expectations, and he was better than his reputation made him seem.
