Your icons make me smile.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Because they remind you of the sweet, hot taste of infants' flesh?

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

You read my mind.

Cute!

Who's the blond chick speaking Russian? I get the feeling I should recognize her... ^_^;

Semi-obscure Marvel Comics heroine Darkstar. Once a member of The Champions, she recently turned up in X-Men.

[ymfaery]

Recently as within the last year?

I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten any titles about The Champions when I was an X-Men fanatic, but I can't say the same for my brother. Unless she popped up in an X-Men story before, or my brother had the relevant comics, I have no clue why I sort of recognized her...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

The Champions dates from the late 70s, so I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't read it. I saw her in one of the recent Grant Morrisson TPBs at the bookstore, in a team with Jamie Madrox and some other folks. She's also been in the Soviet Super-Soldiers and various guest appearances - oh, wait, she was in the episode of the X-Men cartoon where they go to Russia! I bet you've seen that.

[ymfaery]

Actually, the only X-Men cartoons I've seen to date are maybe 5 episodes of Evolution and one or two from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Totally missed the X-Men cartoon since I had dropped the comics years ago and didn't know (or care) about the cartoon until after its initial run.

I'm thinking I probably saw Darkstar in one of her guest appearances. She and Jamie (Multiple Man, right?) were on a recent graphic novel cover? Does that mean she was on Muir Isle at some point? Hmmm.

Nah, this was inside the book. I have no idea what was going on - last time I saw Jamie, he was in fact dead. The team could've been whatever the current incarnation of X-Factor is...

[ymfaery]

I think the "original" Jamie died, but he managed to prevent one of his doubles from re-joining him when he got infected with the Legacy virus and was able to survive that way. Or something like that--I didn't actually read the relevant issues; was chatting with one of the clerks at a local comic store about X-Men shenanigans not too long ago. Also, apparently everyone in the Rasputin (sp?) family died, which ticked me off.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

My brain hurts.

[ymfaery]

...I'm sorry?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

It's okay. Just one of my little spells.

I'm told that Illyana died clutching her Bamf doll in a touching scene, the very notion of which makes me giggle hysterically.

[ymfaery]

Is the giggling over the notion of a "touching scene" that includes Bamf dolls, Bamf dolls in general, or something else?

(Y'know, this is more fun than IRC chats. And with icons! ;)

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

All of that, plus Illyana as Little Nell Dying Again, plus at that point who gave a shit if they X-Men were all suddenly run over by a truck.
