While finding pictures for my post on the incredibly fucked-up love life of Scott Summers, I came across these scans that were not Scott-Summers-fucked-upness-centric. Enjoy.

Bears. Why'd it have to be bears?





I SEE WHAT U DID THAR, MARVEL! Using a comic book superheroine to sell us on a book without ridiculous cleavage.. so metafictional.

In addition, Peter, she's bringing you a Star Wars comic. MARRY HER. NOW. (Or, umm, when she reaches the age of consent and/or when an aged-up doppelganger from the future comes back in time. So, Saturday.)

It's really hard to tell how "smart" Lockheed is. Claremont made it a big deal that Kitty sees Lockheed as a friend instead of a pet. Scott Lobdell did a story where Lockheed is put on trial by his race.

Warren Ellis and Joss Whedon greatly enhanced Lockheed's role, with the odd idea that he was asked to spy on the X-Men.

Kinda makes you wonder how "jealous" he is of Colossus. Stranger danger! Stranger danger!
