	Oh god poor Luna. That must be traumatizing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Now I'm wondering if a blue Kree/Inhuman hybrid would be mauve. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I like how even Lockjaw looks weirded out in the, "We do not share a bed" panel. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Okay, maybe I'm just the romantic type, but Crystal and Ronan are my newest OTP. Anyways, what is it about Crystal being attracted to assholes? First Johnny, then Pietro, and now Ronan. Hell she'd probably boink Guy Gardener if they shared the same continuity. Crystal, get thee to a therapist, stat. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I like them together, too. It's really weird because I have never really liked Crystal's character and I don't really know anything about Ronan, but the recent minis have made me like Crystal a lot more and the little touches like Ronan trying to bring Crystal flowers have made me all, "Awwwww".

	I personally just think I like to see strange characters in relationships. Some of my favorite ships are Kigo, Zutara, and Danny Phantom/Violet from the incredibles. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Facial expressions in this are love. I straight up LOL'd at Crystal's O_O face. (Reply to this)

	Since when did Crystal wear a domino mask? I do enjoy her interactions with Polaris in this event. (Reply to this) (Thread)

The masks are probably customary for the Inhuman royal family. Weren't the rest of them wearing black masks like them in their first appearances?

Well except Triton.

Crystal interacting with Lorna is interesting. I don't believe they ever really interacted while Crystal was still married to Pietro, and it's not like any of them even knew that those two were siblings back then.

	How awesome would it be if Triton did wear a domino mask, though? You know, to protect his secret identity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, you made me ROFL! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	devastron 2009-09-13 05:24 am UTC (link)
	I got the impression the mask was on for a period of mourning type of thing. You'll notice they're both wearing black too. I also believe they are about to go to the funeral of Lilandra. Its probably customary funeral wear for Inhumans or something. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love how Lockjaw is running around just bashing crap over and Lorna is using her powers to catch the stuff without batting an eye, like this goes on all the time. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	While on the subject, has Lockjaw inexplicably become hydrocephalic recently? I mean he was always kind of ungainly but his head looks like its about to explode in this one. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Also, if there's one thing that the taggings system we use for InsaneJournal has encouraged, it's getting to know characters' "real names" - I bring this up, because in the process of doing Crystal's tag, I was reminded once again that whoever decided that the Inhumans' superheroish names needed to be 'explained' by giving them more elaborate ones that just happened to correspond with the originals needs to be slapped about the head. Just accepting that Medusa is "Medusa" is a lot easier than saying her real name is "Medusalith" and the that Crystal is "Crystalia", though that's nothing compared to the holy grail of head-bangers, "Blackagar Boltagon". Yeesh.

	"Blackagar Boltagon" Wait, that's seriously his name? That wasn't a joke? Bwahahahahaha, I am never going to be able to see him on panel again without laughing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would it be better if it was an alias he used in the human world? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	IT IS A PERFECTLY RESPECTABLE INHUMAN NAME!!!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crinosg 2009-09-13 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	It sounds like the stage name of the head singer of a Swedish death metal band. Or a Wraethu character. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very Alan Davis-y looking art. I like. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	suzene 2009-09-13 08:59 am UTC (link)
	I was thinking the same thing, though with maybe a bit less in the way of like -- this reminds me less of Alan Davis than when Hitch was still tracing Davis. Still not at all hard on the eyes, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	aaron_bourque 2009-09-14 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Kind of Alan Davis, kind of Mike Wieringo. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bazor 2009-09-13 07:29 am UTC (link)
	This is pretty great. I just had a little mental flashback seventeen years ago when Paul Pellitier was the artist on Ex-Mutants. He's certainly come a long way. (Reply to this)

	What the hell Lorna? Bad enough the being awful to Crystal, but having that conversation in front of Luna? Really? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	colonel_green 2009-09-13 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	Luna's not supposed to be in earshot of their tone until Crystal yells, is what I gather from that. As to the subject, Polaris is just going by what Crystal herself previously told her, that the marriage is just a political thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Crystal/Ronan are adorable! They are one of my favorite things to come out of War of Kings. Crystal, get to a salon! Your dye-job circle thingy is fading! (Reply to this)
