[ChaoticPsylocke]

did anyone else notice that SNIKT wasnt used, but something else?

also Wolverine looks a little funny....

and lastly, has anyone else noticed how often Warpath shows up??? he is in everything! i mean he is never important, but he's always there! lol

 

[iamlegend]

I am sure Remy would agree.

Gambit's got a bit of a new look too. The hair's different, especially.

I'm not a fan of the art in general though. I can't quite place it yet, but it reminds me of something. Don't like it.

I love it when Scott where's his New X-men costume.

With Emplate back, I wonder why they never did a team up with him and Selene given the nature of their powers. I hope he shows up in Necrosha as well bc he'd seem like a likely villian for that

 

[UraniaChang]

I don't know how I feel about the jacket, sometimes I think it's catchy, but other times I think it paints a big target for the wearer with the bright yellow X.

 

[Manic]

I'm surprised to see Rogue still wearing gloves. Then again, she probably still feels naked without them.

 

[UraniaChang]

With a large part of her breats almost falling out, I'm surprised she'd even notice her gloves.

But, then, she has a scarf with her as well, sometimes, sense of fashion is one huge mystery.

 

[Manic]

lol, I forgot about the scarf. It's like she's dressed for cold weather (though that's appropriate if they're hanging out in the middle of the SF Bay), but still has her boobs hanging out.

 

[UraniaChang]

Scott dressed for the weather, high collar and a jacket.

Last time I went to SF, it was chilly for me.

 

[Generation Lee]

Why oh why are there workmen building something on Xavier's private land???

 

[UraniaChang]

Because Xavier might need some decent place to sit down for a while now that he doesn't have the wheelchair anymore?

 

[Manic]

He probably sold his land for money.

Well that, and essentially every Marvel hero wears some variation of gloves nowadays. Gotta conform to the trend, and all...t:

 

[Manic]

Yeah, but you'd think someone with touch-based powers who went her entire teenage and adult life without touching anyone wouldn't be quick to put gloves back on.

 

[UraniaChang]

She is more interested in showing other parts...?

 

[iamlegend]

She is more interested in showing other parts...?

Ha. I'm sure Carey will have her showing someone a lot of stuff soon enough... You know he's just sitting on some male character that he's secretly in love with, just waiting to hook him up with Rogue.

 

[iamlegend]

Yeah, but you'd think someone with touch-based powers who went her entire teenage and adult life without touching anyone wouldn't be quick to put gloves back on.

Eh, why draw a character with a practical costume when you can draw one that you find "cool" and aesthetically pleasing?

I hate artists sometimes.

 

[Havok83]

I dont mind the gloves. Its the scarf that begs for someone to grab, choke and slam her around that bothers me

 

[Manic]

I'm just going to put the scarf in the "Things Superheroes Shouldn't Have in a Fight but Have Anyway" category, along with capes and long hair.

 

[UraniaChang]

Well, Batman has an useful cape, everyone should learn a trick or two from that guy.

LOL, true dat. Like long trench coats that can get caught in doors. Not very practical in the real world.

 

[cardslinger]

A trench is better than a scarf though. IMO. Gambit's gotten his coat caught on stuff before. He just slips out of it when that happens. You're not gonna slip out of a piece of material tied around your neck.

The writers have done a solid job of giving Gambit's trench coat some kind of practical use over the years... While we all know it was originally drawn on him to look "cool," they've tried to integrate it into his character and make it seem valuable.

And they've done well with it, which is why he's still, and always will be, wearing it. It's part of Gambit the same way the visor is a part of Cyke. Without their accessories... they're just not... them.

 

[Havok83]

Gambit looks odd without his trenchcoat. Its best that he keeps some version of it with every costume he gets. Although I have to say he did look good in his AOA costume but he had a long cape which pretty much took the place of the trenchcoat

 

[UraniaChang]

A trenchcoat is more useful than a cape, that guy needs his hidden pockets.
