    No worries. Happy to help. Love the original Mike Carey introduction to the CotV in his X-men: Supernovas run, so very glad to see them revisited… Latin background and all.

    Ask and ye shall recieve - Kitty has a new costume! It's awesome. I was tired of her being in the uniform. Its been that way for so long aside from her pirate look and I was afraid she was going to go back to it. Love that they kept her curls too.

    I'm all here for arguments that we shouldn't confuse "nudity" with "sexualization" but this cover is CLEARLY over-sexualizing the character in those tiny little panties and that weird pin-up pose,.....

    Variants cover with Emma are always sexualised and allude to her hellfire club phase

    Is it a sexy pin-up? Absolutely.
    Is it sexualised? Not overtly or egregiously so.
    There is a difference.

    And it’s pretty tame as far as sexy Emma covers go. She’s showing like 60% more cleavage in the Hellfire Gala preview than she is here. To call it pornography is quite a leap. It’s like calling an advert for women’s underwear pornography lol

    It's a bombshell in her underwear, with her gigantic breasts barely held together by a tiny corset, and who apparently needs to bend over to use her powers... I wouldn't say it's tame exactly LOL

    Again, I'm here for it, the X-Men have been a sexy and fetishist franchise since the 80s and I'm here to see them show them and shake them... but it's hard to argue this cover isn't hyper-sexual

    I don’t know about the “hyper” part, but sexual? Sure. Fair enough.

    My mind just immediately jumps to the 90s whenever someone mentions oversexualized female characters. Compared to the art from that era, stuff like this cover is quite tasteful.
