The origins of this posting came about when I saw this image on e-bay

I thought that this was a lovely sketch-card of Aurora and Northstar by an artist named Sara Richard.



and wanted to see more of her work...

When I saw THESE images I knew I had a new artist to keep an eye on )

New Rules for a New Life
[personal profile] stubbleupdate
This morning, when I was out in town, the thought popped into my head that somewhere on my bookcase was the Q Magazine special on R.E.M. circa Reveal that included a picture of Michael Stipe as Blackagar Boltagon )
But I can't just post that on its own, so I'll need a few other things to bulk it up. Like Phil Noto's photo-essay on live in the 60s Marvel Universe. )

And while I went through his tumblr to find the pictures, I found bundles of other cool stuff there too.  )

Okay this is seven pages from Ironman Alpha and 14(this sucker is giant sized)from Iron Age one so this will be a good one.
I am mainly posting the first part to give some context to the 14 pages of Iron Age 1 though you get to see luke cage and danny rand, but both books are great reads. Tony goes back in time and in ironage one he goes to classic bronze age avengers where he meets his younger self, almost beats the crap out of his own friends, sees the wasp alive again, nearly gets raped(mentally) by Eros of Titan, battles ultron, and more importantly givess hope to a friend who needs it the most.

I really enjoyed this story when it came out(4.99 I better enjoy it),but my store never got any copies of the second issue. This book has felt like a dream come true for us ironman fans who you know miss seeing ironman in the spotlight dealing with grand scale stuff(not that I have not been enjoying Fractions run, but its good to get shellhead in the obscure adventure where he kicks ass now and again).

This one was a long one and the art by Weeks makes it even more awesome. Also seriously who thought Eros of titan was a good idea.

By request from [personal profile] auggie18, I present this rather awesome fight between Jean Grey and Sabretooth from (Adjectiveless) X-Men #28.

Some context. In order to stave off his bloodlust and maintain some semblance of humanity, Sabretooth has been using a telepath named Birdy to give him "the glow", a mental blast which functions basically as mutant prozac. When she's killed he decides the only logical conclusion is to go let Wolverine "do what needs to be done". Problem is, just a few issues ago Magneto went and ripped out all of Wolverine's adamantium and Logan's not in much of a position to do anything to anybody.

With Sabretooth on his doorstep, Xavier enters Creed's mind and discovers that he perfectly remembers all of his past victims, which is driving him even further into psychosis. Xavier decides that Sabretooth can be redeemed and thus they cage him up in the mansion and therapy begins.

This goes over about as well with the X-Men as you'd expect, but one member in particular is having serious reservations. After comforting Jubilee in the wake of a major Sabretooth-themed nightmare, Jean gathers Scott, Hank and Ororo at Harry's to talk about it. With all the questionable actions Xavier's taken lately (from having Storm steal for him up to the assault on Magneto), is this what they should be doing, or just another example of Charles losing it? The discussion goes from "well we took in Wolverine and Rogue and worked out okay" to "Sabretooth's powers aren't out of control he's just an evil guy who likes to use them to torture and kill people".

Things seem to keep getting worse with Sabretooth going out of his way to deeply freak out each and every person he encounters. Jean finally snaps and confronts Xavier directly. That's when Scott figures it out.

 


Cue drama, as only the '90s can do it. )

Greetings True Believers!

I'm fulfilling a request from Badficwriter and others to see the outcome of Professor Xavier attempting to redeem Sabretooth.

Starwolf_oakley did a post about Professor Xavier taking Sabretooth in.
http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2752894.html?#cutid1

It brings up issues of "should heroes kill?" and "Crazy or evil?" and "did his powers make him this way or just make him worse?"

Anyway, enjoy!

There's so many great characters I think got shafted, but if I could choose only one...

It would be Jean Grey.

Here was a character that was the heart of the X-Men (Something they've been lacking, since). Not only that, but she really had the potential to give Marvel it's own Wonder Woman. Not only was she powerful and complex, but marketable. The Phoenix insignia is instantly recognizable, and could have given Marvel a brand.
