Sabretooth & the Exiles #4: Station Four

"I did want to tackle some serious subjects AND I wanted there to just be fun parts. A Sabretooth story without some mayhem isn’t worth telling, after all." - Victor LaValle

Saving Graydon from Hell isn’t looking like it was the best idea now, does it Victor?

If your memo says "This historical example of attempted cultural genocide was bad, BUT..." I think some self-reflection is long overdue.

[mastermahan]

I mean, the guy has an entire wall of Dad heads. Clearly the General Contractor has some issues.

Now, if your organization keeps sending you emails about the upside of cultural genocide, you should probably resign from Orchis or the DeSantis campaign.

If you're already on the DeSantis campaign, emails about the upside of cultural genocide are probably a perk of the job, not a downside.

"We don't look the part--"

"What're you talking about? A bunch of us just look like normal humans. I've seen a big transparent guy with a skeleton floating around inside him, and Krakoa just let him walk around!"

"Yeah, and what about that Emplate fella? Bird's nest hair, gas mask, talks and acts like a vampire all the time...you're saying he's some supermodel standard that monkey kid or mister green-and-pointy-ears can't meet?"

The last Sabertooth dies tonight? So does that mean 616-Creed is now the only one of his kind in all the multiverse?

[donnblake]

I dunno- Franklin Richards and Owen Reece were manually recreating the multiverse one universe at a time at the end of Secret Wars, right? Do we now have an upper bound on 'number of alternate realities that exist,' like DC occasionally does?

[blues32]

Is that a zombie Sabertooth head? Also, I'm not entirely sure Graydon understands how multiverses work if he thinks this Sabertooth is the last. That wall isn't nearly full enough.

[cainofdreaming]

Sure. Graydon went after the Exiles and didn't get his sorry tush kicked. I am sure.

[superfangirl1]

Sabertooth should pull a dead pool and take out a very list of every alternate universe version of yourself and read out in front of Graydon.

Wait...

In that one page, did they draw Creed to look like Trump?

[blues32]

What, the "story time" page with all the mutant kids? Ehhh...I guess I see it.

I mean, happy to be proved wrong, but I feel like that’s what the writer’s going for based on the combination of: squinty eyes and pouty lips; telling disenfranchised people that they’re in a bad place because a brutal elite rejected them and giving them instructions on hitting back against that elite; and the “talking loud and saying nothing” bit immediately afterward.

But there again, it might also be the uncanny valley effect of him being drawn with that facial expression, no matter who it’s based on, given that he ordinarily does not look like that. Last I checked, he didn’t have shapeshifting powers...
