X-Men: Schism #2

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are some pages and panels from X-Men: Schism #2 that I enjoyed.

I consider this mini-event to be fair so far.

Enjoy!



The X-Men are dealing with the world-wide activiation of Sentinels.

I like this page because it makes sense for the X-Men to work this way and the part about Fantomex made me laugh.



It turns out that 75% of the sentinels are defective or malfunctioning. The new Hellfire Club saw to that.

Kitty and Rogue are in Iran to deal with a rampaging Sentinel.



Ha. You tell'em Kitty.

And Scott's ongoing bro-fist with Logan continues when Quentin Quire surrenders to the X-Men. Scott lies to Steve Rogers about having him. Insisting that Quire must be tried by a jury of his peers. Logan disagrees with the decision.



Emma slaps Quire's wrist, so to speak.



There is a Museum of Mutant History is opening in SF and Scott sends a delegation. Scott calls it a peace delegation, Logan, watching from a bar calls it something different.



Look at Emma's costume from the second to last panel and this one. Looks like Emma decided to have a "show of force" of her own. :D

I thought that Colossus and Namor were holding hands for a second there.

And now I'm disappointed. ):

[lucky_gamble]

You're not alone. I did a double take then got sadz

[newnumber6]

I'm sure it could be fixed with Photoshop?

[cypherfdp]

Isn't Colossus the Juggernaut now or something?

[paultmd]

Not really and not yet. He apparently makes some kind of deal with Cyttorak in Uncanny but that that hasn't happened yet, is tied to Fear Itself, and I haven't seen anything to indicate that it continues beyond the end of Fear Itself.

Not to mention that we'll probably have to wait until the end of Fear Itself to figure out where Juggernaut's story fits in, since he's been seen in three different places in a single week's worth of comics.

[lucky_gamble]

Two questions....what power is Rogue using? Wasn't Kitty in perma-phase? The things one misses when they swear off comics for two months.

[shadowpsykie]

Wasn't Kitty in perma-phase?
they fixed her ;D

oooh sexy jason..... *drools*

having inappropriate Jason/Prison Fantasies....

[proteus_lives]

Flying and super-strength?

The real question is who she brushed up against to get them.

[starwolf_oakley]

I wonder if Kitty and Not!Ahmadinejad will have a discussion about White Privilege.

[proteus_lives]

I'd say it would be a discussion between a superhero and a piece of crap.

[salinea]

Heh.

[darkknightjrk]

I'm not sure if I like the way Cho draws Cyclops (I know he's "Slim," but dude looks like a walking skeleton).

Everything else is awesome, though. I especially love Kitty pwn'ing Ahmadinejad, Cyclops standing up for Wolverine, and Emma making Quentin soil himself. XD

[20thcenturyvole]

For serious, I did a double-take at the first panel of that third page. He looks like a matchstick!

Love the inking and colouring, though. It's very pretty.

[drmcninja]

I saw that too. Hes a skeleton with a six pack right there. I chalk it up to a mistake, which they kept going to just to keep it consistent for the scene. Next time he shows hell be back to normal.

[cherrybomb]

Rogue really needs a visit to Edna Mode. Either her scarf is going to catch on something or her breasts are going to pop out of her top because her zipper unzips.

[darkknightjrk]

"I said no capes!"

"But it's a scarf--"

"It could have fooled me, darling."

[biod]

There should be an entire one shot or mini series where Edna criticizes every major hero's costume.
"My GOD, you are wearing Purple Sticky Tape!"
"My people-"
"I do not care about YOUR people, we are on Earth! We have modesty! We have FASHION!"

[mullon]

Next Kitty should phase her hands through his body so he'll feel all dirty inside.

Also, I'm not sure it's the best writing to have Scott and Logan suddenly all super chummy right before they break up. Makes it less believable, given their history.

[rainspirit]

Considering their long history of enmity, I'd agree, but I think it's too much fun to see them actually existing in a mutually cooperative friendship of sorts. Cyclops has Logan's respect despite being a gruff codger and Scott appreciates Logan despite being a bit of a straight edge stick-in-the-mud. It's nice to see heroes just... acknowledging each other's strengths, if only for a little while before a bad writer comes along.

[sherkahn]

While most of the art looks good, Cyclops is starting to LOOK like an old man now.

[equinox216]

"Show of force"

Adhesion is a type of force now?

[akodo_rokku]

Breasts straining against that top is certainly force.

[greenmask]

Darn. That ain't Quentin Quire.

I really like the art, but that is some other kid in Quentin's place.

[brooms]

I thought these would be the pretty kitty! pages.

That Idie girl is a mess.

[crinos]

How did they get Kitty back? Last I heard she was stuck in some sort of space bullet or something.

[salinea]

they killed her and resurrected her. It did the trick.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Man, I'd like this better if I could take the Hellfire Club seriously. They're worse than the Upstarts!

[proteus_lives]

The Upstarts!

Late '80s/early '90s flashback!

[darrylayo]

I cannot believe they'd allow MAGNETO, a world known terrorist to accompany them on their PR outing, in full Magneto-garb.

That is the silliest thing.

[salinea]

His cred is higher since he saved SF from an earthquake.
