Well, my free time is sold! Thanks for sharing the link.

Between Mage & Demon Queen, DPS Only and the Sejics' comics (Punderworld, The Queen and the Woodborn, Sunstone, Bloodstain etc) this is truly some era for quality free comics/manga. I have loads I've not gotten to yet as well.

Back in the 90's/2000, Death was being hunted by a god called Walker.
Death ended up hiding out in Marlo Chandler because it left a portion of it's power inside Marlo.

So I guess Marlo is a hideout for Death.

oh, so a deep continuity dive.

He does. The Shatterstar incident was Rob Liefeld not understanding (or caring) how Juggernaut's powers work. It never worked that way before or afterwards.

Wait, I know fuckall about Shatterstar, is that why he had that dorky tandem-bladed sword? To poke people in the eyes with it like he was Moe Stooge?

No it's because there were lots of sword guys in 90's comics already, and the only way to make a sword more extreme is more sword.

parallel blades make wounds that are much more difficult to suture closed. it makes for a rather nasty statement. i rather doubt leifeld knew that, though.

I am not proud of knowing this but I believe that's Stryfe cussing out Apocalypse for teleporting away after he shanked him. You can sort of tell because he's going for full-flowery melodrama over grim stoic '90s gruffness.

That's from somewhere in X-Cutioners Song, so Cable's yelling at Stryfe. It's where they meet each other face to face.

Edit: I'm wrong, you're right.



Been doing a read of 90's crossovers with some friends. I've only read bits and pieces of X-Men from that era and it's everything I expected.

I still wonder what the gun to the right of the rocket launcher is attached to, because it's not held up by one of the straps he holds.

Connected to the back of his collar, it pops up over his head. The kickback would be a problem if he didn't have permanent constipated telekinesis face.

Man I think I still have all the pack in cards from those issues in a box somewhere.

I had the unique pleasure of encountering X-Cutioner's Song in the tale-end of my uncle's comic collection, and only partways into it. It took me multiple issues to realize from context that the entire reason everyone was after this guy called Cable was 'some guy that looked like Cable shot Prof. X' and even at the time I thought 'how many people have the X-Men met that could've faked that super easily?'
