cataradical submitted:I have never submitted anything here, but… Sometimes I like to look for crappy girl armor and try and edit it, just for funsies, and I came across this cover for Avengelyne. It wasn’t until I opened the pic to full view did I see the true horror outside really bad armor: that poor women’s hips/waists, and I figured we’d see at least some areola or something with her breasts, but…
Holy boob window, Avengelyne.
Literally. xD
That giant crucifix always seems unattached and just glued to her breasts. At least here it MIGHT be attached to her collar? But it still seems like a bad thing to have during a fight. Also, she needs to find some body paint that doesn’t eat her nipples.

How many days in a row am I gonna hafta wake up to this news?
I knoooooooooooooooooooooooooow, I’m very very upset, I love everything about the series, the team, the dynamics, the humor, the art, everything about it is wonderful.
But it’s an X-series that 1. Doesn’t feature Wolverine (good lord let him stay dead for a little while this time.)
2. Doesn’t feature anyone who was vital or popular in the (disgusting shitfest that is) the movies,
3. Have a plot that’s necessary to read in order to follow huge universal events.
4. Cater to the shitty nerdboys who chant that comics should only be made for them and their needs.Now let me tell you WHY you should be reading this and what it has that tumblr is always on about wanting more in comics.
FEMALE TEAM LEADER!
Lorna Dane, Polaris, Daughter of Magneto with the POWERS of Magneto. Total badass, doesn’t take shit from anyone, I love her.
Non- “Male-power-fantasy” fanservice.
Seriously the fucking wiki summarizes and issue like thisThat’s how you counter the boobs and butt bullshit that’s been happening for the last 50 years. You just get a dude topless and vulnerable for literally zero reason, not paint costumes on awkward impossibly bulgy body-builders and yell “THIS IS FOR YOU LADIES~” and make sure to wink in the most masculinity preserving way ever.
POC Mutant Child from a bad family household who is finding out who she is and what she can do!
Georgia is AMAZING~! She is so cute, and she is so powerful and has so much potential to be this incredible force on the team and if she disappears or is reduced to background cameos in that shit environment that is Wolverines (or whoever the fuck is running it right now) School, I am gonna be soooo pissed, oh my god.The books also feature characters with depression, personality disorders, past addiction, past mistakes, family reconciliation, A Pansexual Curious Robot Woman, Endless amounts of sass, developing character relationships that would need at least 50 issues to even get into exploring….and we’re losing it at 20.
So yes, I am indeed aware that ANXF is being Canceled. (as are other series as well, the new Ghost Rider is on the rocks as well I heard.) Carmine Di Giandomenico recently said that he had finished work on the series, thus meaning, they have probably wrapped up the basic story and the best we can hope is that both him and Peter David are hired by Marvel to work on new series sometime in the future (and maybe not have Bendis writing AS MANY fucking things as he’s been writing, I mean jeez, come on.)
It would be funny under any other circumstances. The creatures were fat, deranged cherubs with bear-trap mouths and flobby boneless chicken wings, and they were a wrong hop – a distraction of Rictor’s -from home. Two degrees left of normal and this New York was grotesque and fungal, everything dim and foul.
‘Star practically shone in the grubby dark, the white armour he’d kept from mojoworld like a beacon as his swords flashed silver and clean. His hair had gotten so long, and it looked like the banner of their youth, when they had been made of fire and mad dreams.
Ric brought up his powers and the creatures scattered like the spores they were as he twisted the bones of the earth beneath them, burying them in a tidal wave of dirt and stone. ‘Star had danced away from it, backstepping over the largest sheets of stone as if he knew exactly where they’d be. Trusted Rictor to give him footing in the tide.
He shone white and silver and knife-bright in this fetid place, but then Ric faltered as he saw the red. Not the banner of fiery hair, but dark and slick against the white of the leather. “STAR!”
The warriors rolled from the waves of stone and got unsteadily to his feet. “Julio.” He said, missing the scabbards on the first try.
“Is that blood?” Ric asked dumbly, hands coming away wet as he patted Shatterstar down. “Where are you hit.”
“I think it is mostly..” Shatterstar paused, feeling his abdomen. “Oh, wait no. That’s mine.” He added with a little laugh as he sank to the ground at Rictor’s feet.
Rictor caught him, sank with him to the spongy earth. “I know you’re tired, baby. I know you’re hurt, but we can’t stay here. Are you strong enough to ‘port us again? Somewhere safe where you can heal.”
Shatterstar gently placed a blood-wet hand on Rictor’s cheek. “I just need a couple of minutes to catch my breath.”
Rictor looked over ‘Star’s shoulder to the newly-massing spores behind him. “Sure, baby. Take all the time you need. I’m not going anywhere.”
:’)

BILL SIENKIEWICZ CORRECTS TERRIBLE ‘SUPERMAN DOES IT AGAIN’ SHIRT WITH APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF VIOLENCE
By Chris Sims
By now, you’ve probably heard all about the genuinely awful licensed t-shirt featuring Superman planting a seemingly unwelcome smooch on Wonder Woman and proclaiming “SCORE!” and that he’s “done it again.” It’s bad for a lot of reasons — blatant sexism, the awful lettering of the caption box — but, as an optimist, I’ve always taken the position that nothing is so bad that it can’t be improved in some way. And apparently, that’s Bill Sienkiewicz’s position as well.
After everyone got up in short-sleeved arms about the shirt, the legendary artist behind Elektra: Assassin, New Mutants and much much more took to Facebook in order to provide his own version of the shirt, complete with a new piece of art for the back that solves its major problems in the way that all superheroes fix things: Violence!
