Avert Not Ye Eyes Fellow Mortals Tis Understandable that One Would Stare

[pyrotwilight]

While issue 25 of Avengers Academy only just came out here's a tidbits that I'm sure SD will appreciate as the Lion of Olympus that's coming up in issue 29.

Slight warning for a unclothed former God under the cut. Courtesy of the Avengers Academy thread over at comicbookresources.

One penciled page.



It's really the ladies responses that amuse me here.

Lightspeed: WHY DID I AGREE TO COME HERE AGAIN?
X-23: I was misinformed...
Finesse: An interesting occurrence.

Comments

I do love the terribly unimpressed reaction from X-23.

[crinos]

I love Finesse, that is the same exact response I'd expect from Spock in that situation.

"Fascinating Captain."

[ghosty732]

This page would be perfect if Striker had a more excited look on his face.

[icon_uk]

Personally, I think his more "Well, this is awkward.... Do I look? Don't I look?" look is much better for someone just coming to terms with who he is.

[darkknightjrk]

Maybe he's not into the big, hairy types?

[shadowpsykie]

BLASPHEMY!!!!

[zechs80]

Heh Mettle covering Hazmat's visor so she can't see is hilarious.

[darkknightjrk]

Considering the two's relationship, I think he doesn't want her to compare. :O

[nezchan]

Heh, someone's studied Bridgeman I see.

Pretty sure the artists in the crowd will get what I mean.

[darkknightjrk]

I just looked it up and found, like, four different types of Bridgemans.

[long_silence]

I don't think its possible to pose like that and not show your whole ass.

Where did his right asscheek go?

[icon_uk]

Agreed, his left asscheek is smaller than I would have expected, and his right one appears nonexistant.

[spacebetween]

Herc has fine tuned muscle control of his muscles. It's why the women love him

[shadowpsykie]

and MEN :D

[pallas_athena]

He is half-immortal. His right asscheek is in Olympus with THE GODS. The mortal world would burn like Semele ere it could comprehend the glory of the entire ass of Hercules.

[biod]

I'm going to use this as the explenation for all anatomy issues from now on.

[crabby_lioness]

Now really, if you're going to show it go all the way:





What did Laura say that had Herc whipping off his kit?

[greenmask]

Ooooh pretty pencils!

[pyrotwilight]

Ahh, I COULD have but I thought page 1 spoke for itself enough. XD

[crabby_lioness]

True, but why leave out the lovely closeups on his front?

[spacebetween]

Maybe made a comment about wanting to see the pillars of Olympus and good old Herc assumed it out of context?

[kenn_el]

It seems odd tat Tgra, of al people, should be concerned bout nudity.

[crabby_lioness]

There were minors present. Nudity in an all adult setting or an all minor setting would be a different story.

[pyrotwilight]

Is it? I mean it's one thing to wear skimpy clothing, which in her case is essentially a bikini, it's a whole other thing to be just plain nude.

[shadowpsykie]

is herc going towards striker? is it wrong i am kinda shipping them now?

all taht aside, it would be interesting if the writers play up Herc's bisexuality (omni sexuality)

[crabby_lioness]

I think he's just posing. He may be talking about how both of them have done modeling before, but Herc's perfectly capable of being overwhelming without being overtly suggestive.

[mullon]

That's the face I make when I expose myself to underage teenagers too.

[bruinsfan]

Of course, Herc's birth culture and ours had very different ideas about both age of maturity and the appropriateness of public nudity.

[blackruzsa]

White Tiger's weak in the knees. You can tell her reaction even without looking at her face XD
