Lady Door wasn't so trollopy looking in the book, was she?
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Huh. That's not the look I would have chosen for her, ita. I saw her as someone who'd try to hide within her clothing. The style she's got there (if it were changed to white) would be more fitting for Serpentine.
Now I'm a bit nervous about how they might draw the Marquis.

Anyone here read BLACK WIDOW? They had a little review of it in Entertainment Weekly this week for a TPB, and it caught my attention because Bill Sienkiewicz is the artist. Is this new, or is it a compilation TPB.
I guess it's not techincally a costume book, because it looks like the extent of the outfit is a leather cat suit. Also, the cover art they showed is way more conventional than I'm used to seeing from Bill S. Just thought I'd see if anyone out there had come across it, or give a head's up to potentially interested parties.

I've read one trade of Black Widow from when Devin Grayson was writing. It was decent, but not quite enough to pull me in for more.

The review also praised the writer, Richard K. Morgan, who's name doesn't ring any bells with me.
I'll have to take a look. It won't be the first time I bought something just for Bill S's art.

I read early New Mutants exclusively for Bill S's art. After he stopped drawing the interior art, I became less interested, and only kept reading as the stories intertwined with the X-Men.

I hated Bill S when he did the New Mutants, until something else educated me in the Sienkiewicz love. And then I went back and marvelled.

I think I read Stray Toasters before Elektra. That may have been it.

Yeah, if Stray Toasters doesn't do it, then nothing will.
Except maybe the bit in, I think, Wolverine/Havok where Wolvie's healing factor has decided his adamantium is bad and needs to go, and Wolvie finally makes it stop by shoving his own claws into his brain, and Bill drew all the little healing cells freaking out and charging en masse to the brain.
Yeah, that sentence was maybe a little run-on.
