It's Me, Esme

I love when comics do silly little connections that make little continuity nods, and maybe answer questions that aren't that big of stakes.

In NYX a few weeks ago, my namesake's sister, Sophie Cuckoo, got called out for playing video games a lot to take her mind off her ongoing plot, and she got overly defensive, in the "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" sense.



I never really gave it much thought, but did briefly go, "Oh, I wonder who that is? Ah well!" But in this week's issue of Exceptional X-Men, the charactrer Axo gets a few texts and le gasp!



Just a fun little way to answer that, and a tease for things to come? Although, Axo was just grousing about how he's not sure if people really like him, or trust him, and all that fun stuff, because of his empathic control powers. Makes sense why he's in a potential relationship with someone he only knows on the phone. But, hooboy, for someone worried if he's using his powers on people unintentionally, being involved with a Stepford Cuckoo is either the best thing, or the worst.

My money is on worst. 😄

Also, I really like Sophie's screenname being "Just_Sophie". It pairs well with my "It's me, Esme".
