Date: 2016-02-17 12:41 am (UTC)That Thunderbolts cover looks weird to me. At least two of the characters just have their eyes closed.
I thought Kitty Pryde and Star Lord were doing yoga.

Date: 2016-02-17 06:49 pm (UTC)Significantly less jazzed by the Spider-Women crossover event, not only does that story format suck, but bringing Spider-Gwen into the mainstream Marvel U just reeks of trying to have their cake and eat it too.
