Uh, Herc? I'm not sure how to put this, but I think Hera's changed your shoulder into a pumpkin. It's more...obscure than most of her curses, but it's really off-putting.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

DARK X-MEN

Lolwhut?

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Dagger's not a mutant.

Or is she, now?

[ulf_boehnke.insanejournal.com]

Emma Frost has betrayed Cyclops and the rest of the X-Men

Now they will only have to bring back Genosha and Morrison's changes will be gone completely.

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

We still have Kitty Beast, don't we? And Dead!Jean. :(

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

I don't see Guardians of the Galaxy on there. Where;s Guardians of the Galaxy? Where?

[trueredorion.insanejournal.com]

CosmicBookNews has the solicitations for July's cosmic related comics.

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

Dagger's Crotch-X is distracting. And I like Emma's new threads. I'd be surprised if this is a genuine betrayal, though.

[ghosty732.insanejournal.com]

Namor-crotch is equally as distracting.

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

man, doctor doom's got a finger in everyone's pie.

[trueredorion.insanejournal.com]

That sounds dirty.

[roflstomper.insanejournal.com]

I really need to catch up on all this Marvel crud. Daken is actually considered more than a background character now? Its nice to see Wolverine getting a break (he really needs one) - but I always thought Daken was a one shot Origins character...

And yes, that Crotch X is really distracting.

[13thcell.insanejournal.com]

That costume is too much even for Emma. Terrible, terrible.

[adon_ca.insanejournal.com]

Because someone has to say it... with the direction the X-Books have been taking for the past while, isn't a book titled 'Dark' X-Men redundant? :P

[suzene.insanejournal.com]

Motto. Though Fraction at least seems to be trying to make them into decent people again, bless his befuddled little heart.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

Anyone know who the x-dude with the Omega symbol is?

[trueredorion.insanejournal.com]

My guess is Michael Pointer (The Collective/Vindicator/Weapon Omega).

[wonderwomanhero.insanejournal.com]

Aw crap, Emma's not gonna be on the team anymore. Shit. Hopefully Psylocke will return. And possibly bring an alternate Jean with her.

[ar_feiniel_.insanejournal.com]

Dark X-Men? *eyeroll*

[tsuki_the_geek.insanejournal.com]

This.

[long_silence.insanejournal.com]

Those Mico Suayan covers look great.

And it might not necessarily be Namor? Who is it then his son from that miniseries?

[midnightvoyager (from insanejournal.com)]

EMMA. YOU'RE A WHORE. WE GET IT. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ADVERTISE YOUR CROTCH.

(DISCLAIMER: No, I don't like the character's personality one ounce, but I am indeed referring to the way she dresses/flirts with everything, not herself in general.)

[richiedaley.insanejournal.com]

Actually that's Dagger (I believe)

[menagerie.insanejournal.com]

Dark X-Men? Oh hell, are you people even trying anymore over there?

My guesses: Cloak is Exodus (the second cover makes this look likely), Mimic, Amelia Voght as Dagger? Or Dazzler got pissed with being shunted by the X-folks. No idea who Captain Omega is over there. Namor is a bit bishoneny in the first cover.

[(Anonymous)]

Weapon Omega. Alpha Flight fandom is assuming it's Micheal Pointer a.k.a NOT!Guardian

[menagerie.insanejournal.com]

I like that Dagger, with the X on her crotch, is blushing. That just adds hilarity to this nonsense. I will only be satisfied with this if we find out Le Peragrine is the Angel mock-up instead of Mimic. I also actually like Emma's outfit as done by Terry Dodson, not so fond of the Jae Lee version.

[dustbunny105.insanejournal.com]

Are Emma and Dagger supposed to be blushing over Namor? Because that's what it looks like and it's making it difficult for me to take this seriously.

... Wait, no, that's not why I'm having trouble taking this seriously.

[fashi0n_mistake.insanejournal.com]

Has Emma Frost suddenly become the Black Queen? Cause that is the only reason I will accept for her outfit not being white.

And what the hell is up with Dagger's outfit? Clothes people! Please be putting them on the women!

[halloweenjack.insanejournal.com]

Woo! Dark X-Men, dark! They're so dark, one of 'em might even eat a sun!

...oh, wait.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

THOR & HERCULES: ENCYCLOPAEDIA MYTHOLOGICA
????
I can't to see hpw Marvel will fuck that up.

Is That Dagger in the dark x-men ? If so I am glad to have her back.

[neuhallidae.insanejournal.com]

Speaking of July solicitations, has anyone else seen the cover for Invincible Iron Man #15? Dear God, it's bad.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm actually excited for a Marvel preview. It's been a long time.

I can't wait to get the Encyclopadia Mythologica issue. I'm loving it already. Snowbird!

[(Anonymous)]

People complain about Emma's ridiculous sleazy outfits, but Namor probably has her beat. From his super tight leather to his skimpy swimsuit, Namor's not afraid to flaunt his assets, though he has the excuse that a skintight costume is at least good for swimming.

The Encyclopaedia Mythologica looks kind of awesome. I might give it a try.

[spiritoftherain.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

Urgh. It's one thing for them to have a Dark X-Men to go with their Dark Reign, but involving Cloak and Dagger in it? They're like the only C-list characters I really care about anymore. :(

I can't wait for their own series to come out.

[kaileighblue.insanejournal.com]

Kinda confused at the Emma clothes hate. She seems to be wearing the same amount, if not more, than usual.

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

I'm wondering if people are talking about Dagger's.
