Madureira/Townsend Reminiscing...

Pages are listed chronologically.

Uncanny X-Men 334, p.19. I especially love the panel with Juggernaut screaming in Jean's face, and the last one where J's removed his helmet. Lots of emotion and vulnerability here. Definitely a strong memory of my comics reading as a kid!


Uncanny X-Men 336, p. 17. There's a lot of nostalgia for me in Onslaught baring Xavier to the heroes (I think they made a toy that re-enacted this?). This was just a great scene, and I love the nice Onslaught headshot to the right, but what really delivers this page for me is Cyclops in the lower-right corner with his gritting pointed teeth. You can't get much more "it's about to go down," than that! (Unless...)


Uncanny X-Men 340, p.17. OK. So you CAN get more "it's about to go down." A super-angry Wolverine about to let loose on some mutant-haters. This is bone claws Wolverine, somewhere between his animalistic/bandana time and being back to normal. That's pretty awesome.

Uncanny X-Men 346, p. 7. In the bottom panel, this is THE image I see in my head when I think of Marrow. Definitely a favorite.

Similar Character Names

2 Characters, both from the X-Men universe, both villains.
D'Ken. And Daken.


These guys' names differ solely in an A taking the place of an apostrophe.

And they BOTH suck.

Silvestri question

Does anybody know where this one is? Would love to get my hands on it if I could!

Comic book character spotting! The Joker


Friday, February 5, 2010

Huh?

I just noticed that Green Lantern villain Sinestro and Incredible Hulk villain The Leader tend to look an awful lot alike in black and white. Check it out.

Leadestro

Giant waterhead? Check. Pencilly mustache? Check. Overdone brow furrows and widows peak? That's a big double-check.

PS -- Sinestro pre-dated The Leader as a character by roughly 3 years. (Eat it Marvel!!)

Furthermore, yes, I'm still alive.
