In which Betsy Braddock (no co.) spills the beans to her brother about how she killed a child...

Hello fellow S_D'ers! How are thee today? ~~It is I, Lucrezia Borgia.~~ I give you a few scans from Uncanny X-Force #6

I love Brian's o_0 face in the last panel. Also, what the heck is with the character designs in the second panel? Her nose, good god, the nose.

Oh my god, these facial expressions are priceless. I'm betting someone is going to icon them, lol.

DUN DUN DUN! It was all a not-technically-fake Danger Room setup! What do you guys think about Betsy and Warren rekindling their relationship? I suppose it's okay, if anything to erase what was left of the godawful Neal Shaara relationship...

I didn't like this idea when Jem used a holographic simulation to see how her boyfriend Rio (Who she knew had issues with being lied to) would react to her telling him she'd been playing him for a fool as two different people for months, and then (when the simulation told her to bog off) continuing the charade.

I didn't like it when Gwen Cooper used a mindwiping drug on her fiance (a decent, honest man) when she admitted to having had an affair with a co-worker in Torchwood, so she could console herself that she HAD told him, even if he would never remember his vehemently negative reaction to it.

I still don't like it here.

GAH! TORCHWOOD. Ugh...
I wish Torchwood was on Showtime or HBO or something...that way, the gay sex scenes would be more graphic and hot.
Am I the only one that wants another female on the X-Force team? Betsy is of course, my favorite comic book character ever, but as the lone female...it's not...really...uh....well...I mean, I know Logan had to go all WTFISWRONGWITHYOUGUESWHATYOUARENOTONTHETEAMANYMORE with Laura during Second Coming....but...would it kill them to get some more female members? Where is Domino?

	I never got past the very first episode of Torchwood, with one main character being introduced as he's using "alien pheromones." So skeevy. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	And yet, I could still care less about her. She's like the female Gambit. I'm not sure someone understanding your motivation is impressive if they still thinks it's horrible. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

	Huh, I saw this exact setup in an anime recently, actually. (a crappy anime, but still) Did they ever do the "play out confessions in the holodeck" thing in Star Trek? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Did they ever actually end the Warren/Paige relationship? In my head, I kinda see him getting back together with Betsy without even thinking, and rembering about two months later that he actually had a girlfriend already. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 9 comments) (Show 9 comments)

	"Where has Xavier's lofty ideology brought us?" I'm a very casual X-Men reader, who hasn't been following this series, doesn't know the details, and knows almost nothing about Betsy or Brian as characters... ...

	And here I was thinking 'why is Brian in his old uniform?'. The Danger Room thing is a bit of a cliché, but I like Betsy, I like Brian and I like Warren (and I especially like Betsy and Warren together). Her dismissal of Fantomex is nice as well, considering his actions, but still not very team player-y. (Reply to this)

	Talking to a hologram means she'll only get whatever response she programmed in. So this conversation is frankly invalid- esp as any kind of support! (Reply to this)
