Avengers Academy #23 preview

[sherkahn]

Newsarama has the wordless preview.

And we make get the next Sabretooth/Wolverine like rivalry. Or maybe the pic behind the cut could qualify for "context is for the weak."

I can't tell.



Isn't this part of the Klingon mating ritual?



So it's not "scissoring" because claws are involved... but then again because claws are involved then it's truer to the definition of the idea.

Traditionally, the Klingon mating ritual supposedly involves the woman throwing things, while the man recites love poetry and ducks a lot. Now, obviously, that's not very inclusive of same-sex relationships. In lesbian cases, do the women trade off on reciting love poetry/throwing stuff? Or is it like a giant snowball fight with razor sharp blades instead of snowballs, and poetry spoken throughout by both parties? I find myself hoping it's the latter.

[newnumber6]

I just realized that nothing in my description depends on them being women, the same question applies with two males, just the picture was of two women fighting so my mind was on that track. Apologies for leaving anybody out.

After the episodes of TNG that dealt with Klingon mating, I started thinking that ALL violence is some sort of mating ritual/flirtation to a Klingon.

Yes, I know that actually isn't the case, but watching Star Trek with that in mind was entertaining to me.

A camper bunch than the "Oh so butch" TNG/DS9 Klingons would be hard to imagine. Talk about leatherboys... (I'm not sure if there's an equivlaent "leathergirls" group for comparison purposes, but if there is, assume I'm being inclusive here)

[nezchan]

What about the Klingons?
Remembering a day
When they looked like Puerto Ricans
And they dressed in gold lame

[sherkahn]

At scans_daily, it's never just you.

[valtyr]

So the entire Federation/Klingon war was just them hitting on us?

[sherkahn]

Blame it on Kirk.

[master_nate]

And to think, the crew of the Enterprise could have saved untold lives by sexing up the Klingon Empire.

[master_nate]

YES.

[icon_uk]

You invite them over to dinner, you quote Shakespeare in the "original Klingon"... that counts as reciting poetry doesn't it?

[valtyr]

So really, when accused of going over and murdering all the Klingons, the best defense would have been that the flirting got out of hand?

[icon_uk]

"He didn't duck hard enough"

[sherkahn]

Also counts as foreplay.

[nezchan]

Puts a whole new spin on the one that tried to headbutt Data.

[master_nate]

I'd say we're giving slash fiction writers new ideas, but let's face it, at this point I'm know this ground has been covered.

[liara_shadowsong]

Oh, my... That certainly puts a new spin on things.

[bestiasono]

I imagine you're just supposed to fight it out, so the wooer proves his/her love by reciting poetry and ducking, while the wooee attacks them appropriately. The sex of the individual participants is hardly relevant. Maybe sometimes it gets confused and both people want to hook equally, so they just both throw stuff while yelling poetry.

[shanejayell]

Wow, it really DOES kind of look like... *lol*

[halloweenjack]

can't unsee

don't want to unsee

[pyrotwilight]

Mettle: Shouldn't we be stopping them?
Striker and Lightspeed: Too busy committing to memory.

[lieut_kettch]

A winner is u! Have a Heath! Joker slow clap:

[eyz]

Why am I finding this so alluring???
*saves picture*
:P

[icon_uk]

A little too much blood flying for me to see it as alluring, it just looks... painful.

[cainofdreaming]

I think they're just having an argument about Laura painting the Academy walls with her claws. Since neither of them is sporting a scratch, much less an actual wound.

[halloweenjack]

They'll lick each other's wounds afterward. If we're lucky.

[blackruzsa]

1) LAURA YAYYYY
2) Maybe they got to the part AFTER the throwing things and poetry?
3) CLINT IS WEARING A VARIATION OF KATE'S OUTFIT WITH THE GOGGLES. OH CLINT. It's... so weird :)

[lieut_kettch]

I think they've redesigned him to make him look more like Renner! Clint from the movie. Because a purple leather skirt doesn't translate well on screen.

[liara_shadowsong]

And, yet, I would love to see a purple leather skirt on screen. If only to say that such a thing once actually existed.

[amancalledblaze]

..I'll be in my bunk...

[nezchan]

I gotta say, the artist did a good job making Tigra non-exploitative there. Avoid the crotch shot, well muscled & fierce, non-pneumatic, very nicely done.

She looks like she's reaching for the cookies, and dammit, Laura was saving those for after Big Bang Theory!

[donnblake]

Well, I mean, they're blocking Tigra's crotch with Laura's ass...

[bariman]

They could go with the one-piece Marvel Adventures Tigra sported.

[nezchan]

Has she ever been covered up like that in the mainstream book? Of course, given that she's got fur she really only needs to cover the essentials to still be "fully covered".

[baihu]

There's also no coloring to suggest Tigra is wearing anything down south though sooooo...

[nezchan]

You can see the string strap of her bikini bottoms (and a ring holding the pieces together) on the left side, at her hip.
