Ann Nocenti is underrated.
Now, I know what you're thinking, just when the hell does this story take place?
Well, it was published around the time Inferno was going on, but it obviously couldn't take place then, so for simplicity's sake I put it here, right after the Genosha arc.
If it doesn't fit all that well, sue me. Or better, sue Marvel.
Tru dat
This page right here is like a time capsule from the eighties.
Haha, geez...
>tfw born too late to go hunting crack dealers with your dad when you were 5
...
...
That's not traumatizing at all!
...
>kill the child gently, softly
>kill him with love
What the fuck.

> Ann Nocenti writes Colossus
well we're in for some kind of ride
How can you be racist against commies? They're not a race! Silly old man.
Colossus: The Man of Steel!
...
Something I've always loved about Piotr's Colossus form is that he doesn't just turn into a metal-skinned dude, he actually has a very particular pattern on his skin. It's neat.
...
I knew they'd come through.
Fucking hell, guys.
...
...
...
Jesus, kid!
Bringing up my point again Colossus is the most underrated Husbandu
>crack is a conspiracy by the russians to undermine the US
lol
brb
jah bless OP
x-user do you have this which was bundled with a terrible Angry Nerd tier videogame?
marvel.wikia.com
>captcha is literally KINO
I don't think so? I'll have to go check.
Uh guys, I'm not sure if discussing politics with a bunch of guns around is the best idea...
it has this funny scene
Awww
Dammit.
Yeah, I'm downloading it right now.
>too late for Zackery's generation
bad news colossus!
also Legacy Virus as AIDS and what happens to Colossus is a big signpost in my mind with all the 80s politics talk
Darn, brb again
Sometimes wonder how Marvel Comics Presents would have turned out had they stuck with their original plan to have a different solo X-Men story every couple of months. They abandoned it and went full on Wolverine around issue #48 save for the random one-off (Mirage, Mojo, Warlock, Beast) but I wonder what kind of stuff we would have gotten had it stayed the course:
The Archangel filler solo story from Judgement War expanded to around 10-12 issues
Hellions solo stories perhaps, even showing Warpath leaving the team perhaps to set up him joining X-Force
The story of how Havok got captured and brainwashed by Cameron Hodge and the Genoshans
Nocenti doing more Longshot shit
Maybe Claremont doing flashback shit with Rogue to explain what the fuck happened between Rogue/Mystique and Carol Danvers?
It takes place in Nocenti time.
Alright, now I should be able to finish this with no further interruptions.
Just calling mutants freaks would probably make a better slur than mutie.
The best kind of time!
Yeah, it's fun to wonder, especially when it comes to the X-Men, where there's been a ton of editorial-sided what ifs.
>easy now, i know what you mean
how many Vietnamese has dude massacred?
Gotta say, it's funny how the guy didn't like Colossus because he's Russian and not because he's a mutant.
>I just ironed those curtains
>May I call you "Nina", then?
...why?
We may never know.
Damn, this is some real shit.

He's a big ABBA fan.
Fuck!
Dammit, I thought I was done with ABBA!
...
...
Now THAT's traumatizing!
Why was there a random Jamaican in a covert ex-CIA team of hyper-americans anyway?
>they replaced it with the heart of a baboon!
That's racist.
This family needs a therapist.
Too bad they can't afford one!
Jesus Christ!
Damn you, America!!
...
This is like a goddamn fever dream.

>Dishes! Pillows! Sheets! Beds! I hate you!
Was this meant to be funny? Because it is.

lol i was just being a jokey left winger with the murdering civilians joke but this dude totally did a my lai
He may have actual skeletons in his closet.
Young man... are you planning to share with the class or not?
I'll admit, reading and posting this while I listen to John Williams' Superman soundtrack has been... an interesting experience, to put it in some way.
...
Honestly? I really cannot tell. Like look at the last two panels here and tell me this shit isn't funny.
BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA
I believe in Colossus's muscles too.
those are some good guns
Apparently not, Zack!
it's funny how Marvel is the more "down to Earth" of the big 2 but in this era, late 80s, Nocenti is really the only one I can think of touching on real shit whereas DC had like a fucking line about military industrial shit
Wait, WHAT
Colossus really is too pure.
...
Well shit, I guess he really DID die!
He literally gave up the ghost.
...
He lost the will to live
WE MAY NEVER KNOW
Alright, that's it for today. See ya guys next time, when we go from Genosha, to the heart of America, to England! That's right, it's Excalibur time!
Nah. He said he was going to pass on his spirit to his daughter, and Nocenti is definitely one to not mean that as a metaphor.
Quit fucking muzzle sweeping the room, child. God damn.
prejudice is a funny thing X-user.
>THEY REPLACED ALL MY BLOOD WITH HYENA BLOOD!!!!
seriously? was that really the closest thing they had? they just had hyena blood laying about? not cow, pig, or anything, you know, local to the USA?
user...get help.
>not having a stash of hyena blood on hand so you can inject it into your henchman and see what happens
Do you even mad science?
Hyenas are totally local to the US if you're willing to abuse eminent domain on the right Zoo.
