“If I can’t use my cape as a blanket I don’t want it, B”

Little Jason and Robin Jason are my go to now when I draw

I wanted to do something to commemorate the end of our “Cauldron” arc. Scott probably told the cashier they were cosplayers or something. - Goaterz

Picture this: 6'3 of bulk and attitude, reheated corpse Jason Todd, who went through unconceivable torture, who probably asked Satan " this as hot as you get?", leaning down to whisper " introduce me " to Bruce when meeting Wonder Woman and just hiding behind him like 👉👈

He has to lean down to talk to his dad! Aww so cute. Im dying. Im dead. Big baby whining to his papi about this princess he thinks is sooo cool. adsfhjkl

Just imagine:

Bruce smiles. "Say hi, Jay."

A smolest gruff voice follows, "hi"

a Mayday! while i love her og costume i wanted to give her a costume of her own since she’s never really had one, so i made her a sportier one based off her basketball skills

What If? vol 2 #105, Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz.

Besides being part of Spider-Girl’s origin, this page is also a type example of how an inker with a distinctive style (Bill Sienkiewicz, and it doesn’t get more distinctive than that) can change the look of the pencils. Check this against the Ron Frenz tag and you’ll see what I mean.

“There’s a cure?!” asked the girl that kills everything she touches.  “Hey shut up we’re perf” replied the girl that makes clouds. 

For real though. Storm has stopped an entire tsunami before. “Makes clouds my ass” she can conjure lightning and tornadoes and is revered as a god in her tribe. She literally changes atmospheric pressure and that’s how she flies. So fuck you. Storm is flawless.

I think you missed the part where the GIRL WHO KILLS EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES wants to NOT KILL EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES and everyone dismisses her incredible misfortune just because the lady who is the AVATAR OF THE STORM won the fucking SUPERPOWER LOTTERY

“Finally, a cure for my chainsaw hands!” decreed Chainsaw-Hands Joe.

“There is no cure,” said Johnny Five-Dicks. “There’s nothing wrong with us.”

The last comment literally always cracks me up

The X-Men are an extremely good metaphor for oppressed minorities until they are suddenly an extremely terrible metaphor for oppressed minorities.

The scale on which the first reply misses the point literally never ceases to awe me.

I gotta say, though, this is a place where the X-men are being a good metaphor for oppressed minorities.  Specifically, in this case, the disabled community.

“Yay, there’s a cure!” says the girl with depression.  “Cure for what, motherfucker, I’m not sick,” says the person with autism.

“Yay, there’s a cure!” I say, with my fibromyalgia and random bad pain days.  “Yes, because it’s easier to talk about eliminating us than talk about teaching sign language in school,” says the Deaf person.  “‘Cure’ is violent rhetoric.”

The problem is, of course, that a vast number of things have been aggregated under the label of “disability,” and many of them don’t even resemble each other.  Depression sucks in an objective fashion, whereas autism is just a way of being (which, like many ways of being, may suck at some times, and generally sucks worse when not accommodated).  Similar deal with chronic pain versus the Deaf community.  These things really should not be grouped together, but they are.  And since they are grouped so haphazardly, they will often be at cross-purposes.

It is ridiculous, in the X-men universe, to classify all “mutants” as one group.  You have ridiculously powerful people with little downside, you have powerful people with a major downside, you have people with very limited powers but few drawbacks, you have people with limited powers and massive drawbacks, and that’s not even getting into other divisions, like whether you look like a baseline human all the time, part of the time, or none of the time.  “Realistically,” if you can apply that word to a fantasy universe, Storm and Rogue belong to completely different minorities which should require completely different approaches.  But society has grouped them under one umbrella, or forced them to group themselves for self-protection, and thus you have conversations like the one above.

So it’s actually not a bad take.  Mind you, the X-men have had bad takes, and will do so again, and I’m skeptical about whether “powers” of any kind even work for a metaphor about minority representation—but this particular vignette has something useful to say.

reposting this from twitter bc it's making me lose my mind

Spider-Mayday Just done did it for fun on my friends’ stream dedicated to all the spider-related stuff. Thwip!

Spider-Girls  Digital commission for one of my regular clients. Tried some different tools in PS on this one. 

Spider-Verse y'all! Those of you who are following me on instagram  already knows that I’ve been posting spider-sketches all the week. My goal was to draw 10 spiders in 10 days. As a result it’s 12 spiders in 9 days. Not so bad, huh? :) Hope you’ll find here your favourite one! - Dima.

Spider Ladies by Rian Gonzales

imo Peter Parker has a garbage flip phone or bust

I love how from Amazing Spider-Girl onwards Frenz started drawing Mayday so tough and muscular. How often do you see a teenage heroine drawn like this? Basically never, that’s how often.

x-factor #5 stuff

A majestic view of a rain-laden cloud blasting hard.  When many clouds gather in the sky in this way and their waters fall like this in the same place, here a phenomenon we call the Flood is formed.-

This would make a midieval peasant believe in Cthulhu.

Fam, this makes me believe in Cthulhu, and I have a goddamn engineering degree

I’ve been cackling about this for like five minutes now
