Luck Be A Lady: Domino Appreciation...

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Why do that, it's not what the character looks like at all given that her white skin is a defining trait of the character, if they went with just the white eye tattoo they would have just pretty much given up and taken the easiest road...

[GSman]

I just remember that some where saying that OML was enough like the 616 Logan that most of the team like Domino and Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth wouldn't know anything different...

That was me by the way and it's true Sabretooth and Deathstrike don't know he's different if you don't believe me read OML #7 and the X-Men Civil II tie-in. And if not even Sabretooth the person who has known Logan longer than anyone on that team can't tell the difference between them who says Domino can?

[LoganAlpha30X33]

But then that starts to beg the question of why have OML around at all if they're basically the same guy, easy out that OML goes out in a blaze of glory to end Weapon X and then the 616 Logan comes back...as for Domino I wonder if they'll straighten the actress' hair as the character in the books has never had curly or frizzy hair as I remember her, it's been short and long but...

Who knows? heck someone pointed out they could just de-age OML if wanted a Logan Wolverine again since OML has most of 616 Logan's history anyway.

Your token update for Domino-specific June solicits follows:

weaponx4.jpg
WEAPON X #4
Greg Pak (W), Greg Land (A/C)
- Prelude to Weapons of Mutant Destruction!
- Logan, Sabretooth and Domino have unravelled the plot against them, but is it too late for Warpath and Lady Deathstrike?
- The explosive conclusion that leads directly into "Weapons of Mutant Destruction".
- Guest-starring: the Totally Awesome Hulk!

WEAPONS OF MUTANT DESTRUCTION: ALPHA #1
Greg Pak (W), Mahmud Asrar (A), Skan (C), Ron Lim (V/C)
- The Weapon X program is back!
- Their goal is a simple one...eradicate all mutants! And they're starting their hunt with the most dangerous group of mutants on planet Earth -- Old Man Logan, Sabretooth, Domino, Lady Deathstrike, Warpath and...the Hulk?!
- But with an army of genetic cyborgs at their disposal, this may just be the beginning...

THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #20
Greg Pak (W), Mahmud Asrar (A)
- Weapons of Mutant Destrucion Part 2!
- What is the mysterious Weapon Gamma?
- And who is behind its creation?

If you can't be bothered reading all that text, just imagine Greg Pak screaming, "BUY MY CROSSOVER YOU BASTARDS" in your face. That about covers it.

(for real though, I'm excited for this, and not just because Dom's getting shared with a non-Land artist)

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Even I they de-aged OML and made him the 616 Logan it'd end up just being ignored anyway later on...as for Domino just hope that she and Warpath live through the Weapon X book...

[Kusanagi]

Really thought Domino stole the show in this month's Mercs for Money. With Deadpool reduced to a quick cameo she gets the lionshare of the attention. Her rant about what defines a monster in marvel was great.

spoilers:

she's also a way more convincing Vampire than Jubilee

end of spoilers

^ Agreed. M4M #9 was probably one of the strongest issues of the series overall, and consequently left me very frustrated that 1) it's ending with the next ish and 2) Christopher Hastings wasn't writing it from the start. Even with just 1 page he's got a better handle on Deadpool's attitude than mostly anyone not named Joe Kelly of late, and he does a great job spotlighting the personalities and abilities of the whole team (especially nailing Machine Man's dialogue).

And yeah, pretty good Dom stuff in there too. This was my LOLhighlight:



(first time I've used the new printer/scanner, so apologies if the quality seems iffier than other things in the thread)

3 issues in 1 month with no Greg Land interiors? This crossover deal is giving me palpitations, friends. Happy!

Sidenote: If you were wondering about my not posting any scans for months, well, a bunch of things have gotten in the way. Firstly, I'm working longer hours and the free time I get I've wound up spending doing other things. Second, I changed laptops and couldn't get the old scanner working on the new one, so, new scanner. And third, we've reached the point where most of the stuff left unscanned is the kind of thing Marvel are still keeping in publication, which makes it less delightfully obscure and also more legally/morally iffy to plaster all over this page for free. I don't realistically believe I'd ever get sued for doing this, but, you never know. That being said, there's a particular 4-issue miniseries I recently got copies of that I want to feature, so hopefully I'll find the time to get back on the horse soon.

Oh, and as a bonus, here's a panel of Dom from May's Weapon X #3 copied from editor Mark Paniccia's twitter:

August solicits! The Hulk crossover wraps up, except...not?

WEAPON X #7
GREG PAK (W) • MARC BORSTELMANN (A)
Cover by SKAN
“ORIGIN OF A MONSTER” – PART ONE!
• The newly reformed Weapon X program took DNA from the most savage genetic anomalies in the world to create a rage-filled behemoth of epic proportions. But before they meddled with nature, they started with man… Who volunteered to be experimented on, and what made them the perfect test subject? FIND OUT HERE!

Yeah, I figured we'd be done with the Wolverulk after the crossover, but evidently Pak's got more in mind for it. I'd complain, but honestly, a Wolverulk should be a difficult thing to get rid of, and lord knows I usually complain when a super-big-deal character from a big story is summarily thrown out or ignored afterward (hiya, Hope). Also I am digging these covers.

But that's not all!

100/10.

And this is one of the reasons why Deadpool 2 is my most anticipated (and only one I enjoy looking forward to) FOX movie.
