Who MADE Pixie

[darknessatnoon]

Among Pixie Scholars there seems to be an emerging debate as to who "made" the character "great." Who gave her the scooter? Who gave her that extra bit of spice?

Nominees are

Kathryn Immonen - who gave Pixie quite the soft focus in Pixie Strikes Back.

Kyle/Yost - who ripped Pixie's soul apart and had her dump the New X-Men like trash all across the Eastern seaboard.

Scottie Young - who gave her a "look," that je ne sais quoi that made her stand out.

Whedon/Cassaday - Responsible for Charlie Brown looking Pixie but exposed her to the mass public in a best-selling comic.

Carey - (my personal preference) who made Pixie the international focus of Free Comic Book Day with the story of how she - alone out of all the New X-Men - was recruited into the Real X-Men. He also had her defeat the Marauders. Bonus consideration for turning her into the wisacre known as Nightmare.

Fraction - Gave her a real-life, realistic, trauma. Linked her to Oakland or something. Made her a Wolverine side-kick.

Gillen - Made her HATE Dazzler.

Much better!

Carey is a good choice also.

Til. It was Til who chose Fraction.

Is it Skottie Young or Scottie Young? I'm not remaking the thread a third time.

I stand by what I said in the first thread.

I...don't know. I seem to remember a K. Could be wrong though.

[jstar!!]

If it weren't for Fraction I wouldn't even know who Pixie was.

Mike Carey put Pixie on the road.

Matt Fraction gave her the Vespa to better travel that road and the motivation to stay on it.

Kathryn Immonen showed her some neat things you can do while on the road.

I have to give it to Fraction.

Skottie, but I really don't think it's a big deal. If people get confused cause you put a c shame on them.

This is difficult cause Skottie Young is one of my favorite artist, but Kyle/Yost made me like the character.

[Deus ex Chris]

Kyle and Yost made her interesting. In fact, they're the only writers to really make her work for me.

[darknessatnoon]

Matt Fraction is underneath OTHER. You are CLEARLY being discouraged to vote for him.

[Talisman]

Skottie Young is who made Pixie for me.

I didn't vote in the beta-version of the thread. That Fraction vote was someone else.

[Filthy Mutie]

I have to go with Carey. When he gave her a nice, normal origin in that Free Comic Book Day issue, it made me not totally hate the character. Of course, that's been muddied-up since then, but he gave it the best try.

I also enjoyed Nightmare, who probably had the best back-story of the Age of X characters.

Oh ok. Here is Carey's Pixie telling someone to use his brain!



Here Carey gives her local flava

[Pixie_Solanas]

Shades of 1bulma1 and "get a brain and fast!"

I really need to see Carey take on Pixie again. He's gotten into a rut with Rogue and <anonymous c-list errata> characters.
