From Nate Grey's teat... COMES SALVATION.

[protogarrett]

I would be all up on that teat for salvation.
Yes.

[khamelea]

I read that as salivation.

[joasakura]

that too.

[thanekos]

these are some odd-looking clasps

especially the one nuzzling his chest

[sherkahn]

that's not a clasp.... don't ask me how I know, just trust me on it.

And that hook caress Nate's chest as it goes...

ah, bondage.

(Dear goddess, what has scans_daily done to me!)

[icon_uk]

That's why I stick with the classics, a little rope, some chain, some manacles. None of this newfangled, fancy-shmancy style bondage)

[thediiem]

The whole setup struck me as a strange stylistic melding between Kirby cosmic design and 90s sensibility. Which seems appropriate for Nate Grey.

[drmcninja]

The return of Black Bolt and X Man. This makes me happy. Maybe now that bitch Medusa will get her ass off the throne, and Hope will have somebody to relate to.

[icon_uk]

That's not a terribly nice term to use to describe Medusa.

Mod note!

[greenmask]

Sexism and sexist language aren't welcome in scans daily! "That bitch" is a phrase to be avoided in future. Thank you.

[crabby_lioness]

I've never seen a Medusa appearance I disliked. From her first days in the Fearsome Four to her ascension as Empress, she's always been the HBIC.

[long_silence]

I wonder who the villain in Herc is. I honestly can't think of many that died in Dark Reign.

[sherkahn]

I'm guessing Ares.

[auggie18]

NAAAAAAAATE! NATE! YAY! NAAAAAAAAATE!


Also, Herc better not be fighting Kurgawhatever again. The old dude whose always turning New York into Sword and Sorcery Land? It was fun the first few times, but he really needs to start mixing his routine up.

[jlbarnett]

Kulan Gath

[jlbarnett]

"the Universal Inhumans" is an incredibly stupid descriptor and to me they seem to be more Universal Deviants, something we know exists

[sherkahn]

Tomayeto, pot-ahh-to.

[skalja]

Wait, has Nate been in New Mutants, or is it that he's making an upcoming appearance?

[long_silence]

He's making an upcoming appearance once Age of X ends. His last appearance was in the Dark X-men mini.

There was promo art a while back of what appeared to be the New Mutants attacking Nate and 616 Blink.

Apparently the New Mutants new mission statement is to "tie up loose ends"

They essentially seem to be a not-secret X-Force (with hopefully less bloodshed.)

[joasakura]

NAAAAAATE!!! :SO HAPPY:

[proteus_lives]

Aqua-Thor!

[bruinsfan]

Why would Thor need a diving suit? Pressure is surely no problem for him, and he can breathe (and talk!) in the vacuum of space.

[akodo_rokku]

I'll admit, Greg Pak leaving the Hulk has me tearing up a bit. He's had a really phenomenal run, right up there with the greats.

[big_daddy_d]

I just hope that the writers after don't butcher it.
