Yup, that's how you draw a leg bent backwards. Plus she has thick thighs.
Fuck yes! I kind of gave up hope for a volume 3 at this point.
I'm Really glad I picked up giant size x-men but I'm out of the loop. How was storm hurt?
that art. The whole throwback to New X-Men. Emma Emma Emma. Jean. Storm.
they should have left Wilbur and Scott out completely. Just gave the news to someone off screen.
EDIT: haha, Wilbur. I'm so dumb. But I love it and I'm not editing it

I wanna say it's X-Men #5, where she's acting as the big dumb distraction so X-23, Synch and someone I am completely forgetting about get in the vault of the Children of the Vault
wilbur is wolvernie's new cult name. it's who he is when he's in his happy place.

I knew we'd get it at some point when she said on a podcast she had it written but just needed to find the time to draw it. This was when she said she was gonna alternate arcs on Catwoman. That's obviously over now so she's going back to Lady Killer. I'm very happy.
Think it was X-Men 5? The issue where they sent X-23 and her team into the World. Storm was hit while trying to keep the defenses distracted iirc.
X-Men is definitely my favorite book of the bunch. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

You know, the Dark Multiverse stuff that got brought up earlier made me think more about them, and Infinite Crisis was actually really fucking good. Yeah, in order for it to work Max pretty much just has to believe that Ted will submit to him no question. That kinda is the genius of it though. The entire genius of it is that Ted gets away with it because he's underestimated, he's underestimated because no one believes he's actually that much of a threat as he doesn't excel in any areas as much as any other hero and is usually the "jokester" and "fun" hero, which breeds and inferiority complex and self-doubt and lack of self-confidence. This allows Brother Eye to attempt to take control of him, but because Ted is smarter than Brother Eye realizes because he is underestimated, he actually turns the tables and pulls the unexpected move and becomes OMAC. It's genius that it's a such self-perpetuating cycle right up until that moment at the end.
Why Death of Superman and Judas Contract are so bad, however, are because they fundamentally don't make sense. In fitting with the theme of "Power corrupting," Knightfall, Blackest Night, and Infinite Crisis all have a simple moment where the offer of power, that big moment that tilts the whole thing and causes a domino effect, is really simple but really massive and makes complete sense within the context of the event: Azrael chooses to not give up the mantle, Sinestro does not share the power of the White Lantern, and Ted takes Maxwell's offer instead of rejecting it. Death of Superman and Judas Contract don't really have a moment where "The Offer" makes a lot of sense. In DoS, it's Lois taking on The Eradicator's role, but it feels forced because it doesn't feel like it was ever a turning point or offer to begin with. Especially given that Clark comes back anyways which makes her role feel pointless as is. Judas Contract is even worse because it doesn't really change anything about Terra. The other events are transformative to the characters that they revolve around, which is why it's "the worst possible scenario." "Truly the darkest timeline," as the meme would have it. And while this is a scenario where Terra literally ruins the entire fucking Earth and murders everyone, she also doesn't really change. She was lying about being a Titan and a friend, and then she still is just a villain. This isn't to mention "The Offer" as I've mentioned, which again isn't an offer at all, but in fact an opportunity that she just happens upon and takes. While I suppose these don't need to mean they have to be bad, and there are other reasons, they certainly don't help.

FUCK ME THAT'S GREAT

I'll second the compendiums if you just wanna read it and be done with them. But if you're looking for something collectible that will look nice on the shelf, I would suggest the hardcover volumes. There are 16 in total, and each one includes the content of two of the regular paperback volumes.
Also, Y: The Last Man just came out recently in omnibus format, so you can get the whole series in one book. MSRP is $150 but Instocktrades has it for $87.

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to see how much I'll need to spend to collect 'em all now.

Amethyst is alright for now.
Yeah... Billy screwed up big time in Shazam.

😍Make no mistake Jen's perfect for Storm. Its redicilous.
The black and gold ink version of that last one is on her site as a print. I seen it at NYCC and it was stunning in person.
The Thruple in X-men is making me live. I need Sejic to do a short of their sex lives. Pls.
i dunno if it's explicitly an x-men panel, but it's a panel where they will be announcing the x-men thing in july

Yes they are revealing the first big X-Men event/thing as Hickman implied we'll see how it's not really an event
Silk gets a new solo
The pitch is that she's working for JJJ the podcast host at whatever media company Norah has (I forgot the name). I'm totally on board for it. And with the reveal in #40 things could get interesting.
Little late on Immortal Hulk

That actually makes me want to read it. I like the podcast stuff so far
Well, they aren't fan edits.
edit: That Thor one is a planet that gets eaten by Galactus, though.

I tried taking my time to finish Harleen but I started the third issue last night and wrapped it up. What an incredible series. I don't think I can go back to normal Harley now. I need the sequel, in hardcover because even though I've transcended physical comics, that was a beautiful book.
If Sejic has done nothing else, he has proved he can do both at the same time. Pervy slice of life, thanks!!!!
