She does really look like a drag queen who forgot to put his fake breasts in...

Could it be a different inker or colorist? :smt102

But yeah, I haven't been impressed with any of the stuff I've seen from him the last few years.

Benderbrau: Greg hates all things white.

Benderbrau: Emma, you could learn a thing or two from Greg. Greg does threesomes. That's bi done right.

Guys, I think you're a bit too harsh on John.

Man what the hell happened to John Cassady? It's one thing for his interiors to be slipping from what they were before, but to fall off that badly on referencing even one of his old covers?

It's the colorist's fault.

I quite literally don't get the "it sucks" point of view. It's not that off from the original.

The original has much better color/shading/linework. The original has much better proportioned figures and details.

The new one has flat color and inking. The new one has tiny, dis-proportioned figures and poorly thought-out design. What happened to ice-man's and the chick in the background's legs/lower body?

When are they going to reveal the background?

Does anybody else but me HATE the big, gaudy, gold and red X emblems that they all have to wear now (and for the past year or two or however long they've been wearing them)? They clash with the costumes, and they just look stupid. Especially Ice-Man's. How come his doesn't get covered in ice like the rest of him does? Does he stab it into his ice chest after he changes or something?
