Two pages from Marvel Adventures: Spider-man #56

A good chunk of this issue is basically just one long conversation (with some fighting Cloak & Dagger interspersed) so I just thought I'd post two random pages.

So, Chat invited Peter for a a picnic on her roof (Where she has a garden, it's Emma's fault) they getinterrupted by Captain Stacy who needs Peter to track down Cloak and Dagger to figure out what they are up to.

Turns out C&D were looking for Chat, who is apparently a Runaway they thought was being forcibly recruited for some gang. She wasn't though, so she beats them over the head with a rolling pin.


I love that look on Peter's mask at the end. He's like "Whaaat?"

I haven't read X-Men in years, and I was never really a regular follower of Generation X, but...I like Emma and Banshee. They always seemed to, at the very least, have a fun chemistry. Normally I go for the eccentric genius boyfriend and long-suffering, eye-rolling girlfriend (Reed & Sue for example), but Emma and Sean seemed to do that just as well, and even balanced out the eccentric/long-suffering parts. I can't honestly say I miss them as a pair, but seeing those first two panels brings a smile to my face none the less.

Thank you for sharing.

Emma and Sean never really worked for me because Sean was supposed to still be in a mutually happy relationship with Moira McTaggart, plus they seemed keen on drawing him young, when he was actually old enough to have a daughter in her late tees, without any convenient time twisting or temporal jumps.

By George, you're right! I'm so used to Moira being dead, I forgot they were a couple. D'oh.

That's one of the most depressing posts I've read in a while.

SIGH.

They drew Moria MacTaggart young as well, even though her son was Proteus (who was in his late teens, I assume). In fact, some EXCALIBUR issues might make you wonder if the artists knew they were drawing Moria and not Kitty Pryde.

They implied that Moira had a child young, but yeah and that Sean was older than she was, but yeah...she kept getting drawn younger and younger.

When Banshee was an active member of the team back in the 70s/80s, he was constantly considering retirement. I assumed him to be late 40s/early 50s and Moira to be late 30s/early 40s. Not old, but when the rest of the team are all supposed to be teens or early 20s, feeling OLDER.
