How awesome was the recent revelation, once and for all, that he’s using the pheromones to instill -lust- in Bullseye, not just jealousy, rage and confusion? Before, like here in the party scene, you could have argued he was just antagonizing Bullseye, but after #82 it’s just a fact–he’s making Lester want him. He stated it outright, which made my month. As you point out, given what Bullseye is about, it’s a pretty transgressive thing. And um. Hot.

Marjorie Liu is my hero.

@Valhallahan I gather Adam Lambert is a very American phenomenon — he was the first runner-up in the most recent season of American Idol, and he rose to greater public prominence after the awards show performance I referenced. Thank you for reading, even without that knowledge! (And I don’t necessarily blame you for not reading Wolverine books; I love the character, but his solo books are hit or miss at best.)

Nice art though.

@Claire I’m not sure if this is the book I’d recommend for someone trying to get back into Marvel, but it might be worth at least flipping through the trade in a bookstore.

@Chris I think I’d heard that at some point, and I think it’s pretty neat. I think there’s a lot of gay subtext in comics, intentional or unintentional, and it thrills me when people can find gay icons in these books that are so often seen as heterosexual male power fantasies.
