I was making this for a prompt week thing but decided to go in a different direction so I’ll stick it here. It’s before he go his eye scar. I promise I didn’t forget it.
One of my two variants for #deadpool 1 from @marvel new ongoing series written by me and art by @nic__klein and @kenneth_scott_hepburn coming your way in June
I always felt strongly about the way Rictor describes losing his powers at the beginning of X-Factor Investigation. I see his mutation as a form of sensory extension that he’s been training to come to terms with for years – then having it ripped out of his being, resulting in numbness. That being said, I would have imagined that regaining them would have been much more emotional for him. Like finally being able to take a breath, like coming back home.
I originally drew this comic years ago, but this last week I went into a mad Ricstar-mode, and this was something that had been bugging me to redraw it. So I did. Qualitywise think of it as a 24Hcomic kind of deal.
(TW: The comic includes reference to suicide, some non-ideal reactions to it, and vomiting, but nothing graphic.)
Oh my. It’s been a long time since I thought about the 2099 X-Men- though it was a fav of mine back-in-the-day. Personally, I was fond of Jack (of the er, Halloween persuasion). So creepy and weird. Uh, anyway!
How far back in the time line are we talkin’ here? I mean, if we’re trying to stop horrible events from happening maybe…interfere with M Day? That was pretty awful. Or stop the legacy virus? There have been a lot of tragic X events that the future x-folks might be interested in stopping.
