Cyclops and Storm Lock Lips On The Cover of "Astonishing X-Men" #44

Wow. What happened here? Did Cyclops break up with Emma or somethin'? And why is Storm back with the 80's mohawk?

Its a nice cheesecake cover, but I'm damn sure Cyke and Ororo swapping saliva's doesn't have to do anything with the story inside the comic. That's the trend nowadays guys, get used to it.  Gone are the days where the actual cover is not only awesome, but is actually something relevant to the actual plot of the book. God, I miss those days.

And just for the record, Cyclops has been a jerk ever since. Maybe that's why he's my favorite X-Man. Yeah that's it! Its not because of his stupid mutant powers... 

It's because he gets to stick his dick with all the hottest ladies in the mutant world. Lucky basterd.

Latest Comic Book Reviews (06.24.2011): X-Men Prelude To Schism #3 & Ultimate Spider-Man #160 (Death of Spider-Man)

Two pretty good books from the House of Ideas yesterday.

The dragging Prelude to Jason Aaron's "Schism" event finally shakes up a little bit thanks to Cyclops finally coming up with his decision, and then the death of the one of the most important characters in the Marvel Ultimate Universe finally bites the dust - for good.

All of my reviews after the jump.

'Threesome' Art - 06/22/2011

Here's my three favorite artworks from deviantArt featuring my favorite X-Man Cyclops, Batman, and the always visually provoking Vampirella.

"Mind Games" by *doubleleaf

What a difference a simple gas mask makes. Batman looks more bad-ass looking like a steampunk, which made me think as to why hasn't any one created a "Batman Steampunk" elseworlds story. Anybody would get that comic book in a heart beat.

Cyclops  by *Enymy

Of all the Cyclops renditions I have seen, this is by far - the best and sickest of them all. Look at that definition and lighting. Wonderfully done.

Cover to Vampirella #11 by ~PaulRenaud

It doesn't really matter as to what the background or motif is, as long as Vampirella's in there, I'm all for it. And Paul Renaud may have just used some Milla Jovovich references right there. Take a look at her face. Am I wrong or what?
