Those X-Men clone panels are creepy as hell honestly, I'd love to see more of that sequence. What's the source?

Like the pride of Cyclopses in iron masks. drat.

True, but you have to appropriate things in the right way. Misusing Greek letters makes one look so uncultured.

Gillen's Uncanny X-Men #14

Sinister lobotomized a Celestial at the beginning of the run and used its brain to build an underground kingdom of Sinister clones based on Victorian London.

Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

Gillen's Sinister is the very best version of the character and I can only pray that the movie version when it comes will draw as much inspiration as possible from that Uncanny run. The scene at the end where he shows up to taunt an imprisoned Cyclops for being a colossal gently caress up after having killed and taken the form of the PR agent Scott hired at the beginning of the run is one of my favorite comic book moments.

England has long had a hard-on for classical studies and a highly cultured Victorian gentleman would probably have spoken Greek. Like one of my advisors said, "Well, Latin is easy enough that anyone can learn it."

Coach Boss' football team has been on a losing streak, so he and some goons pay a visit to the opposing team's star player to even the odds.

A comic's worth of bad stuff happens to the kid and his parents...

I didn't read the panels from SB since everything after the 3rd trade is either not out yet or on its way to me, but allow me to add one more voice to the "Read Southern Bastards!" crew. That comic packs more story per page in less words than I've ever seen, and issue after issue it manages to expand my expectations for the comic medium. It's obscene how good it is.

edit: the comics arrived yesterday and got read, the pages I expected were what were up there. This comic is so great.

Thor 2 was the most aggressively boring and unfun Marvel film yet, though admittedly I haven't seen Dr. Strange which some people I know have told me is worse
