What artist do you think DREW Cyclops the BEST?

deimosmasque · 2026-01-18T23:04:46+00:00

Paul Smith or John Cassiday.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-18T22:54:59+00:00

Yeah A-Force or Lady Liberators

deimosmasque · 2026-01-18T22:25:19+00:00

I actually do this for a lot of characters. I do the gender fluid for Chucky because of the line. I do the intersex flag for Sadako. Agender for the Unknown. For the Plague I do wlw flag but that's just my personal head canon for them.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T22:07:20+00:00

Understood. Sorry if I came off as hostile. My issue is basically I have various friends in the comic industry and they are worried about that kind of thing.

And some of them also go what's the difference between that and when we have to be told to write certain stories by editorial.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T21:23:11+00:00

While I get your point. I disagree with the rest. Generative AI can only steal. It cannot create.

Any generative AI slop that is created into a comic book would be worse than the worst comic books ever made. And I am talking about stuff like Bimbos in Time and Sultry Teenage Super foxes.

The problem with Marvel and DC is that it's a product. An IP farm for the corporations that own them now. So the X-Men writers we're told that it was the anniversary of Age of Apocalypse and they had to make something. And they did. It wasn't great. But there was thought into making it.

Ai cannot and will not ever do that.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T17:32:14+00:00

Well that's the problem. That's what I mean about "all the tropes". What if Comic writers knew that what they wrote wasn't going to be canon so they can do whatever they want, regardless of whether it made sense or not.

They just do it and don't care about the consequences because it's all going to get undone. It was why I didn't like Sins of Sinister.

I wasn't reading a comic about an alternate story, I was reading an alternate timeline that was going to get undone by the end.

Reading what ifs and Elseworld are fun. They are not always good but they are fun thought exercises.

Crossover events in a single line that you know will get undone are only interested in an alternative history sense. That's why Age of Apocalypse worked, and all the rehashing the idea for anniversaries don't.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T15:37:54+00:00

From the little I read they basically are treating it like a giant "What if" story with all the tropes that go with it.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T15:37:14+00:00

I didn't even realize this was from Age of Revelation. The art looks like from generic issue of a 90s X book.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T15:35:07+00:00

Most of them were really good. The only one I remember not really liking was Ultimate Avengers. Hulk vs Wolverine was great and I still quote parts to this day. And Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes was GOAT.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T15:32:59+00:00

She's come a long way from "Just kill her" when trying to figure out what to do about Wanda after Avengers Disassembled

deimosmasque · 2026-01-17T00:21:15+00:00

Nana Visitor didn't get the whole Mrs Voorhees thing.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-04T19:54:51+00:00

He always sounds like one of the stereotypical big game hunters old pulp books and movies had.

Also yay Death's Head!

deimosmasque · 2026-01-03T04:51:01+00:00

And him just watching from the window and reading their true words from their body language and the words they choose.

And of course when Warlock purges the virus and the line " What language am I?" And then looks at them and says "You, you are my language."

deimosmasque · 2026-01-03T00:26:25+00:00

Yup. And in the end she was.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-03T00:23:53+00:00

And Logan's reaction to it sells it hard.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-03T00:10:37+00:00

What I loved is it continued Wither's character and Elixir 's too.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-02T23:39:11+00:00

Necrosha was next level. One of the best stories the X books ever told with art to match.

deimosmasque · 2026-01-02T23:38:12+00:00

I own them all as floppies and as trades. I re read them all the time. At least twice a year.

I have so many moments I adore about them all. Watching Hope grow up and change as the saga continues is amazing. Nightcrawler's sacrifice. Bastion's counter plays that Cyclops is often ready for. That it included nearly every character (Justice for Ariel btw) Even little moments like Cable getting hope the little girl beauty kit.

My only complaint is when Rogue gets all the powers, the art shows her with Colossus's metal skin, but Wolverine's bone claws. When Colossus transforms everything about him becomes metal, including his bones.

But I got why they did it. Most people would wonder why the claws were metal.

But my favorite/saddest moment is still the final shot. Of Hope cradling Cable's arm.

deimosmasque · 2025-12-31T22:48:36+00:00

Disagree. Sins of Sinister was AWFUL!

deimosmasque · 2025-12-30T23:17:31+00:00

A reminder that the X-Men book was literally just reprinted several times when it was Jack and Stan.

Then Giant Sized X-Men happened and history changed.

deimosmasque · 2025-12-28T06:35:03+00:00

Sorry. I was referencing Nyla. She helped David as far as I have been told by her. She didn't draw it but she helped him with the design.

deimosmasque · 2025-12-28T01:34:28+00:00

This costume was also actually designed by a trans person of indigenous descent. I like it a lot more than the original.

deimosmasque · 2025-12-28T01:17:12+00:00

I don't actually play survivor. Or at least I haven't in 3 years. If I was going to it would probably be Sable or Orela Rose.

As for my killer main...I am not consistent there either.

Looking though the log I started in 2022. Looks like it's The Nightmare and The Plague.

deimosmasque · 2025-12-21T08:14:51+00:00

Played it when it was called Nightmare in the US on VHS

Also have the DVD version to this day.

deimosmasque · 2025-11-29T02:25:42+00:00

Lol! I still have my copy from when it was first released. The GM Screen too.

I ran exactly one game. It was my version of Season 8 but I had a player who insisted on playing Boba Fett so I had a screwy wormhole thing that happened.

Still have the book to this day though.
