I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Like when Marvel had to explicitly age up Pixie to 19 from like 14/15 because of the way Land drew her.

What do people think of the Phoenix Five costumes from AvX?

I think Scott could work if you removed the red crotch arrows and beak visor. To me, the key defining feature of the Phoenix costume was Jean's hair. poo poo's so unwieldy. Even before The Dark Phoenix Saga, the design always denoted a level of power that can be barely contained; breaking free. When it came for the Dark Phoenix Saga it denoted more about the character. She was someone with no restraints and no limits on her power.

That's why I think it's dumb to give Scott this big bulky visor. He shouldn't have a visor at all. I think you could give him some red angry Superman eyes to denote it's Cyclops.Make it look like a Cyclops who has let go.

They talk about that in one of the issues. He chooses to wear the visor. It kind of makes sense too, he thinks he's in control.

I mean, her character's been around for decades but isn't it just an excuse for pulp-grade soft-core? I guess vampires only grow hair where it's convenient.

:spergin: edit: I guess as an undead her hair and nails would cease to grow.

Like Timeless Appeal said, everyone should have crazy Dark Phoenix wild hair (Colossus can have Bart Simpson spikes or something), but I like Scott's visor because it looks like the visor of a Roman warrior's helmet and of course he's a total authoritarian even when juiced on the DP. And Namor needs a friggin' muscle shirt or something, even the guy with metal skin could dig something out of Emma's bondage closet.

Ironically one of the signs of being a vampire was that the hair and nails of your corpse would continue to 'grow'.

It also bothers me that Scott's costume is the only one where the Phoenix symbol has a beak. I guess cause he's the "mouthpiece" of the Dark Phoenix, or something?

First thing I noticed was how the waist of her leggings and bottom of her top are parallel to the ground even though her torso is tilted to her left because she is in the "stick butt out to one side pose." If that is Land's work I guess he traced three different pictures again?

The first question when you're being interviewed as a professional comic artist is "Can you draw feet?"
