    The big sword shouldnt have lasted past Bendis' run. There was never any explanation for it other than Bachalo wanted to redesign her. It could have easily been enough to headcanon as a result of post-AvX messing with her powers. It should have been left there after that plotline was resolved

    I personally hate the old version, cause it's so god damn generic (A problem with a lot of marvel swords.)

    The best iteration is still to this day, the Rasputin version which combines the old version's sleekness with the New versions identifiable markings.

    the anime sword needs to diaf (f is for foundry), one of the lamest redesign I ever saw.
    Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”

    Those gestures are little more than so that we readers can clearly see that they are using their powers.

    I guess within the story those gestures help them focus a little better or something.

    With all the non-art talk in here, it's quite difficult to keep track of everything, but thanks for thanking me for at least posting art.

    Also doesn't the future chimera (Rasputin) mutant have a giant buster sword too

    No. Her sword is shaped like the original Soulsword but with the buster sword markings. Its not the giant buster sword that Illyana used when Bachalo redesigned her

    The Rasputin Sword is a nice mix of the horrendous new anime sword and the great classic design. I can't wait for a version of Rasputin to show up when Sinister starts making Chimeras.

    Oh yeah, you're totally right.

    I guess with Bachalo's exaggerated art style it makes sense, but I really like it. It just makes her look even more over the top - I mean she is the queen of Limbo she should have an imposing sword to rule them all

    Thinking about her. Was Rasputin a one of a kind or a mass production type of Chimera? I forgot what the white page stated about her. In the later case i wonder if she ended up being the last to be able to wield that soulsword or if Apocalypseland managed to mass produce soul swords for their rasputin line of chimeras?

    I was under the impression they were a mass production type similar to Cardinal (I think that was Red Nightcrawler's name). I have a feeling we will see their precursor in future issues

    This is what i mean. Combine the Bachalo versions Iconography with the regular version's practicality.

    You then get a sword that looks fantastic where the previous ones were either too unwieldy or god damn generic.

    Upcoming X-books art teases, that's the name of the thread. So stuff in the thread should be Upcoming X-books art teases.
