    ETA: As Snoop just pointed out - there's Gert! Are the Runaways supposed to still be teens?
    Gert is just slight above weight. On real life that is a common weight




    she is nowhere close to Blob being Obese

    But still comparatively rare to see in comics, especially on female characters central to a book.

    Isn't this why Gambit exists? (JK!)
    I actually sort of liked the Hellfire brats.

    And sure, Gambit exists, but how often do we see him shirtless or in anything fitting a fetish? Dammit, we want ladies and gay guys want to see men being sexualized. I don't even always mind there being few ugly or fat female characters because, you know, I get it. And to be fair, Blob is at least being drawn to look sort of cute, so you can soda to see the appeal.

    But I want men to just be...I don't know, treated like women, sometimes.

    Yeah, everyone is coming out of this needing a shower. It's a weird world where Cyclops, Wolverine, and fucking Havok are going to be more well adjusted than most of the others.

    Also, good on Uncanny for giving us a bound and delirious Havok, even if it was just for a page.

    But Gert isn't even ugly. She's cute and curvy. Plenty of people would still find her attractive.

    It's true that Gert it's not Blob level or anything, but I'd say she's more than just "curvy".

    I wasn't drawing equivalence to "plus-sized" and "ugly" - by comic book standards, Gert is plus-sized, though even that fluctuates depending on artist. And again, the point of it is that it's an unusual body type to see in a female character, especially in a central character meant to be likable and taken seriously.

    There was also Swain from the Nuhunnies but mentioning any of them might be a bannable offense.

    The world needs more Faith Herberts.
    But considering how X-Books have handled sexual and racial diversity maybe body types are a bit out of reach at the moment.

    Agreed! Lol

    As a woman, I totally get that sexy women sell, and that's what guys wanna see. But some guys like big girls. Their can be some sexy big women drawn. On the flip, give girls & gay dudes some fan-service.

    Speaking on shirtless, you hardly ever see it on Gambit, but surprise surprise, Wolverine is shirtless at least once in everything. lol

    When he's being drawn as sexy, Creed puts Logan to shame imo.

    But note I said "when he's drawn" as such. because we got tons of artists going out of their way to make him look fugly as Hell, especially when they got him paired with women. That above pic is an exception. lol

    When he's paired with Mystique, Monet, or hot dates, we get crap like this.

    Kinda killin the effect. lol

    This is the first time I've found Blob likable.

    I love that Jubilee was called out for her hypocrisy.

    Things are going to get interesting when the X Men find out that the X Tremists are responsible for causing the crises they face.

    I wonder if there's going to be any cross-book fallout from that. Nadler said the writers were all coordinating pretty closely on this event. Or maybe an alliance leading into the Omega issue.

    Oh please no, I’m so sick of her whiny attitude and constant French (which I don’t even care to google translate it.) I want Moneta to end with AoXM, please no more of her.

    She needs to join up with the French twins from Extermination to be a new villian group. Hellfire Kids 2.0? Or better yet Emma's new Hellions
