All this Scott/Emma/Jean talk reminded me of my favorite Scott Summers moment, from the beginning of New X-Men 142.

Hee Hee.

BONUS ROUND: So Liefeld's new series touches down soon, complete with preview art. Thoughts? It's not the worst Liefeld ever, and I gotta say that computer coloring can cover up all kinds of over-detailing pencil lines.

	Morrison, Bachalo, and Townsend did a pretty good job on this. Methinks (Reply to this)

	Yeah, this issue wasn't bad. I think it's because Scott only seemed in character when he was unhappy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wow, I was thinking the art was okay until Scott showed up, yokes. (Reply to this)

	When he presses my art buttons, he presses them HARD. When he doesn't I'm all, "Bzuh?" He presses them hard here. Liefeld still gets work? Why? (Reply to this)

	I can't imagine it helps him that she dresses like his the insane ex-wife that tried to sacrifice his son to demons. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She's Black Queen Jean Grey, not Goblyn Queen Madelyne Pryor, no? (She doesen't have the entire Underboob thingie) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's actually just a red-headed stripper, who is latter described as looking like a peeled prawn, but with the power to look however she chooses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, obviously, my point is that she doesen't look like Madelyn, she looks like Jean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're right, it's Black Queen Jean. This scene takes place at the Hellfire Club and Scott had previously mentioned how he missed this "look" of Jean's. rassm frassm (Reply to this) (Parent)

Even though it is kind of refreshing to have someone admit that that brand of "sexy" really isn't all that sexy, he still kind of comes off as condescending and rude.

I mean, I haven't a clue what the etiquette is in that kind of situation, but sheesh, can you imagine being in the middle of working and someone telling you that everything you doing isn't good or having the effect it's supposed to? Can't be a lot of fun.

	It's also just a wee bit hypocritical of the creators: pressing all the traditional fanservice buttons while giving the hero a completely different opinion, so the viewer can at least pretend to be in both camps at once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then why did he go to a stripclub? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sadly that's supposed to be the Hellfire Club. Sigh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That makes even less sense! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you, Scott. You vocalized a really huge part of the reason I really hate strippers. (Reply to this)

	I liked Morrison's run a great deal. This was one of my oddly favorite scenes. Thoughts on Liefeld: Great, my least favorite religion AND least favorite artist! Together at last! You got gravel in my marmite! You got marmite in my gravel! Two great tastes that make me want to not eat for the rest of my life! (Reply to this)

	I really do not like that coloring style. Now, as well as looking jut weird and horrible, Liefeld's art looks neutered to boot! Also, the last panel there has really uneven eyes. (Reply to this)
