I'm glad someone else posted this because I couldn't begin to decide what bits to post, it's wonderful! :D

[crabby_lioness]

It takes a truly smooth, self-confident operator to play off the bumbling, nervous virgin so well.

[sherkahn]

I....

I....

I'm utterly shocked by this. I was wondering how they could make this work and how it could be "bright". That is MEPHISTO there, among the worst of the worst. Yet this personification was charming in a baffoon kind of way. Not the scheming uber-villain, but just another shmoe.

thanks for posting this. I will get it at my LCBS during lunch.

On a tangent:
Only way this can be retconned is that the guy in red is NOT Mephisto, but someone masquerading as him, and by having Amara go out on the date with the faux-Mephisto and not the real one, she breaks the rules of the agreement.

I did wonder about the faux-Mephisto possibility, or it could be he's just playing a really, REALLY good long game.

Though I am hoping that it really is Mephisto as he appears to be here. An anthropomorphic manifestation of all human evil who's also been lumbered with human emotions on top.

Sympathy for the Devil, man. He's doing exactly what's necessary to make himself seem like not such a bad guy. You can't seduce someone to the dark side if they think of you as a contemptous enemy to fight against at every turn.

[filthysize]

Probably. If he was truly the personification of evil, he would have called the city "Frisco." #localhumor

[crabby_lioness]

It has to be a long game. This directly contradicts his frequent appearances in Journey Into Mystery.

[sherkahn]

Yeah, I was thinking that was option #2.

Question: Mephisto plans to maneuver the New Mutants to his side as willing pawns in an upcoming gambit. Against who?

currently at play:
1. Loki and the Asgardians
2. X-Factor and their connection to Rahne's hybrid mutant/god son
3. Cyclop's Omega Level threat X-men team w/ Colossus/Juggernaut & Illyana/Magick

If it is against someone we've seen already, I can't see the play, so it's a long con against a future event.

Option 4: The Pheonix Force.

[rainspirit]

Okay, that was excellent.

Is there a good jumping on point for the New Mutants series? I might be tempted to check this out.

[fifthie]

I know all the reasons this is dumb and I just don't care.

[biod]

I know.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Well, this is kind of awesome!

I totally want an Adventures of Mephisto and Magma series now.

And now we see the true depths of Mephisto's evil; a darkness so great it can break the fourth wall to shatter minds and spirits.

[jlbarnett]

maybe, Spidey would have enventually retired to be a parent and this was to keep him out there saving lives so the longer lived people he saved could go on to do more crappy stuff

[silverzeo]

... they just Gender Bend the roles of the Bedazzle remake....

[biod]

So many wonderful memories of Elizabeth Hurley in tight, red outfits...

[sir_mikael]

I love that movie. No matter what they saaaaaay....

[shadowpsykie]

will there be a second date?!?!??!?!

[biod]

I'm going to assume this is just something Mephisto has to vent every few centuries. Nothing else makes sense unless...
Mephisto has gone meta and is trolling us!
I think I speak for all of us when I say: More please!

[akodo_rokku]

No puppy page? Okay I'm gonna go post the puppy page.

[outlawpoet]

Looks like this will be the first Marvel trade I've bought in a while. X-folks, a devil who's either sympathetic or playing a long game, sly culture references? Solid.

[his_spiffynesss]

And the part of Mephisto is clearly being played by David Tennant.

[shadowpsykie]

goddamnit... i can't unsee that now!

[his_spiffynesss]

And now he's speaking in a Scottish accent?

[shadowpsykie]

0_o....

HAAAAAATE!

[sherkahn]

Really? I see Jason Schwartzman.

[bewareofgeek]

I get more Woody Allen

[joasakura]

Damn you. Now that's all i can see.

..


ALLONS-Y!

[skywaterblue]

God...damn.

[tauruschick12]

I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING NOW

THE REASON MEPHISTO STOLE SPIDER-MAN'S MARRIAGE WAS BECAUSE HE NEEDED SOME ESSENCE OF 'TRUE LOVE' SO THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO STUDY ROMANCE AND HOW TO FEEL ROMANTIC FEELINGS

YES IT IS ALL CLEAR NOW

nope wait still doesn't make sense

[tsunamiwombat]

Maybe Mephisto didn't destroy Peter's marriage, maybe he stole his love. For himself. So he could feel it.

Mephisto loves Mary Jan- I mean, Magma.

More soundtrack...

[thanekos]

Mephisto, loverman.

[mola_ram]

So... Mephisto doesn't handle his Chipotle very well ?...
I eat that stuff for breakfast and have now found the angle to beat him on in a duel (or have I?...)
*goes back to ponder*

[icon_uk]

Yeah, methinks that assessing the devils capabilities on what he is SEEN to do, is asking for a trip to the hot place below.
