Glad you liked them! As Darren pointed out, there's hints of Tony being bi in canon and Switch was hinted at being bi back in 2x03 of Rebirth during a conversation with Colossus.

Just read both stories (Switch / Emma Frost) and both wonderful early stories of the younger life of both characters and how they developed to present X-Men: Rebirth storylines.
I'm a bit unsure of the Tony Stark bisexual part of the story, but it was minor overall and I guess adds a new dimension to the characer we know. Switch's storyline is quite dark, and offers that early view to his later years and character we know of him - the death of his parents obviously an influence to his darkness he possesses, and enjoyed the link to Stark and a look of revenge which I hope is developed somewhere further down the line.
Frost as said before in other is a wonderful character, and this storyline adds much more depth to her overall. It shows her manipulative ways, and especially her own discovery of using men to her own advantage. The introduction of Shaw and Trask lead us to her arrival and position seen in X-Men: Rebirth.
Overall, enjoyed both stories - Frost stuck out more for me as a favourite, but really enjoyed the darker edge of Switch's storyline. Looking forward to see the rest and develop more backgrounds of the other characters.

Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed them! I can't talk for the Emma Frost series as that was all of Alden's doing but I agree he did a terrific job!
The choice to make Tony Stark bisexual came pretty early on, just to add another dimension to the story. There's been arguments that he's bisexual in the comics and there's an awful lot of focus on his relationship with Captain America but personally, I don't buy into that. The relationship that developed between Tony and Switch though was fun to write and I'm sure that we'll revisit that at some point. You will definitely see more of Switch and I'm sure Stark will appear again, somewhere down the line.
Thanks for reading!

So pleased you enjoyed the Emma Frost Origins mini, Steve! I loved getting to dig into her psyche and figure out why she does what she does.

Anyone who read V3 without digging into the Emma Frost mini might want to give it a read. I think it will really shed a light on her actions in X-Men Rebirth 3x06: Lose the Position.

Well first of all you can't watch it! As the writer of one of the volumes, I of course say that you should read it!

Also, I've gotten used to saying watch because my brother hates it when I say that!
