What an insane, hyperactive comic.

Redraw of my pfp!! :3 #nightcrawler #xmen

For no particular reason, this is a Kevin Wada #comicskycoverartists appreciation post…

We meant to question why Jessica was hanging around a brothel?

Home again! Playing more Lego Batman.

Peter David's first foray into not just Wolverine but anything X-Men related (unless you count that issue of Hulk Logan was in). Over time he'll make an impact in the pages of X-Factor. It was grim! Preeeeetty brutal. And this series has been dark but the tone was never this dingy.

MADELYNE IS SO FUCKING COOL.

So fun fact, Madelyne Pryor was named after Maddy Prior, the lead singer of Steeleye Span. I wonder if this is implying that she named herself after her, or Sinister named her after her IN UNIVERSE, if this song is special to her.

Charles definitely had to be in space for this mission. Fuck him.

What a brilliant gif to use to represent him, I haven't thought of this shot in years.

Whole reason I just spent wayyy too much money on deluxe editions on Long Halloween and Dark Victory was because I was playing Lego Batman, saw Harvey, and went "oh yeah, I love that dude."

Suppose I could pick someone obscure like the Balloon Man from Gotham but like... who am I trying to impress? It's Two-Face.

Now THAT'S a good question, cuz honestly I couldn't finish most of the games I loved as a kid. Maybe Spider-Man (2002) for the PC.

August?! We colonizing the other months now? All for it.

Rogue, in her lowest moment, making peace with her Carol psyche, hits.

"Genosha is a free country!" Yeah you can tell by all the abductions and eugenics and segregation.

Funny story with this comic, I went to my local comic book store to pre-order it, but was too late. Comic shop owner encouraged me to keep my eye out at other comic stores but I'm a quitter so I found an online seller who overcharged me for a copy, whatever.

Y'know if you think about it it's pretty biphobic that the ice cream vendor at pridefest only has vanilla OR chocolate but no swirl.

What a strange post for pornbots to latch onto.

#TransRights

I listed these because I got a kick out of how silly the Lego game was and wanted to put it in perspective. But on the subject I want to glaze Young Justice's version of it, because of them all this is my favorite.

"Rogue One"? THERE IS NO ROGUE ONE!

I don't have any tattoos but I think if I did I'd get Marceline's ax bass and Illyana's soul sword on my shoulder blades.

Look, I'll admit at least part of the blame, because that's what I get for buying on ebay rather than combing comic book stores, but am I dumb for assuming this collection would include both Long Halloween AND Dark Victory? Just based on the title?

Reason Robin became Nightwing in the comics: originally it was just because Dick felt he outgrew being Robin, later retconned that Batman essentially fired him after he was shot by the Joker.

Wow. An exchange both really out of date and, unfortunately for a lot of trans folks, pretty timely.

Happy pride month to them.

Funnily enough, there's one character in this story who stands up to the High Evolutionsry because, "I'm Israeli, I can't stand by and let a genocide happen!" Obviously glazing up Israel's values as basically being the anti-Nazis.

"I'm not okay (I Promise)" ~MCR

Super cool conclusion, RIP herc, though I maintain it definitely didn't warrant the company-wide crossover status beyond company-wide crossovers being all the rage.

Bizarro World let's goooo. Last we'd seen of Bizarro World at this point was it was destroyed shortly before the crisis. Naturally, Bizarro no. 1 and Bizarro Lois fired their only son in a rocket into the planet's core so he would be the first to perish as it exploded.

Gays on June 1st.

Not huge on Herc's new look but I admire the midriff. Very Bow. Also what a ride or die. "Yeah I committed treason against my father to come here, but the Avengers called!"

Apart from the retcon that seems to just serve to flatten the emotional stakes of the original clone saga, the comic also features these Forever People sans hippie influence types. They argue, they pass through the plot fighting each other, and then leave.

Dude you built a whole space program and animal mutation lab in a mountain with mole people in the 1930s don't start with the impossibilities of comic book super science. Fuck it, a college professor cloned a woman, I'll buy it.

Welcome to Pride Month!

New PFP for pride month!

One of the funniest covers of all time.

With literally two chapters left we have finally got some semblance of an overarching plot. The high evolutionary intends to set off a gene bomb that will cause all of humanity to evolve.

I'm sure part of it is, at the point Magda abandoning the twins for their own safety was established, all we knew was, "well he's Magneto. For how powerful and evil he's been in the past it's understandable to go to these lengths to escape him and ensure their safety."

They should just rename Wundagore "Mount Child Abandonment"

SURPRISE! MAN-THING!

So was "too predictable" poking fun at how female-centric the series already was? Or were all female reboots a thing even in the 80s?

Storm in her punk outfit commission. This time I used a harder lead to have more loose pencils. If it´s gonna be inked,what´s the point of doing tight pencils,right? #storm #xmen

Sun and rainbows all week until Pride what the FUCK.

I like that the High Evolutionary is getting in on the banter.

June 1st

Mad that the last collection of Amethyst is over a decade out of print and in black and white.

If you wanted to explain away this without Piotr being that dumb I think I have an idea. In the issue I'm reading, Longshot is sensing the history of a bone fragment from Nereel's village.
