I could kind of understand before, but with access to the internet there's no excuse except laziness, it would take an artist or an editor what, a couple minutes to find photo references of any place in the world? And yeah, writing accents phonetically is just stupid, some locals expressions or idioms are fine, but trying to write out how you think somebody sounds is ridiculous.

And lets not even talk abt writers trying to depict Africa or the Middle East.
Good catch. I am also thinking/hoping there will be a "different" conversation between them (tying into the Limo scene perhaps) where it gets more serious and begins to explore Kate's possibly changing role and mindset.
I still think this book is going to have its hands full juggling the tonal clash between Iceman/Storm on the one end and Emma/Shaw/NuKate on the other but we'll see how it goes
One thing I did like about this conversation between Emma and Kitty was it sort of shows us a "humbled" Kitty, there were a few digs made at her that she basically accepted. Probably much-needed after GOLD for readers to get on board with her leading a team
Still wanting to find out the deal with her apparently-permanent bruise and nose issue
Forget the old ways - Krakoa is god.

Heh. I am old as the hills. When I first started drawing, if I wanted a picture of, oh, dunno, a sea otter? i would have to go to,the library to research (I even had special access to the children’s library; more picture books). Artists today don’t know how lucky they are, I can google an otter, and filter on the right size, orientation, line drawing or photo etc etc.
There are parts of the UK, remote bits of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the North which still feel deliciously old fashioned. And by old fashioned, I mean the 70s/80s. Not the 1870’s.
I’ve always seen Iceman as being similar to Spider-Man in build. Athletic and muscular, without being “jacked” or leaning into “gymnast” physique like Nightcrawler. He’s like a Lantern in a lot of ways. His powers are based on creativity, not abdominals.
Since they brought up that it was already winter in Russia I am hoping that Iceman gets to show off why picking a fight with him in a climate known for harsh winters is a Omega level bad idea especially with Storm providing back up.
I reject the idea that a Twunk is a 'Twink hunk' lol. That's some sad masculinist bs. Everyone knows a Twunk is just an old Twink that's failed to try another aesthetic. It's truer to the culture. There are way more of those than there are lol 'Twink hunks'. Thanks bye.
