X-Men - Part 4

[Donnie Darko]

what was it even about?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I don't remember but nothing in it made me think it was worth $5.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ha, only Claremont

 

[runawayboulder]

Oh god that reminds me of this

That thing is rated T+??? LMFAO

 

[OutcryX]

Oh god that reminds me of this

...wait...wha?...wait...this was a real thing?? But. what about all those porn faces and inappropriate poses?? how did this pass the censors (do they even exist anymore?)??

 

[BoredGuy]

somewhere, Greg Land is like "HOW DID I NOT DRAW THAT COMIC?!"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because Milo Manara is about a billion times better at drawing porn, even though Land traces it exclusively. Originality still trumps copying, even for wank material.

 

[Hawkingbird]

This is why I love artists such as David Aja. This derogatory sexist man poo is completely unacceptable.

 

[Manic]

"sexist man poo" is a new one.

 

[Number 6]

The orgy will happen in the 4th arc

Urgh, that's what I was afraid of. Long, drawn out, without getting to the action. Like the worst of por...I mean, comics.

Oh god that reminds me of this

Haha, I think I remember this. The random skull on a stick is icing on the cake.

 

[runawayboulder]

I don't remember this book, did it come with a free box of kleenex?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So apparently Wood himself addressed the title on CBR's forums:

More art:

 

[Number 6]

Saving the world and looking great doing it and not covering a bit of butt cheek while doing either. That's what Xavier was fighting for.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow, not a single one of the X-Ladies prefers anything other than stringy bikinis with thongs, huh?

 

[Manic]

and it was written by Claremont, so I expect there was plenty of implied lesbian love in the air.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

That art is horrid

 

[Havok83]

More of that

Spoiler

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow. Note to self: spideyboy's eyes are broken.

 

[Manic]

I've seen far worse art, especially in regard to how the female body is shaped. But those porn-tastic facial expressions are... porn-tastic.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

and it was written by Claremont, so I expect there was plenty of implied lesbian love in the air.

And people explaining how their powers work for a whole panel. "My teke can shatter mountains!"

Milo Manara's pretty renowned for his erotic comics. He specializes in porn-tastic expressions. He's kind of like Greg Land if Greg Land 1) didn't trace and 2) were actually trying to give everyone O-faces.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Wow. Note to self: spideyboy's eyes are broken.

Nope. Its horrid. I cant stand it when comics look like that...

Not a fan of how any of them look.

Lands work is at least crisp and vibrant for story telling. This just looks like bathroom fodder. Not to mention it takes some of the strongest women in comics and makes them look like Paris Hilton trash. I actually had high hopes for this book....
