X-MEN 267: (POO) NANNY: INTO THE FIYAAAAAAAAHHHH

SKIN PAINTED ON HIS FACE LOOK AGELESS

STARKY THE WALLABEE CHAMP

FUCKIN THESE GUYS.

 

 BOOT???

UM, SO, THIS PANEL KIND OF EXPLAINS WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. MAYBE IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU. MAYBE IT DOESN'T. EITHER WAY, I DON'T CARE.

PS I'M DRUNK.

THIS SEQUENCE ALWAYS BOTHERED ME. THE TIMING IS ALL OFF. VERY WEIRD. JIM LEE AND WHILCE PORTACIO SPLIT UP THE PAGES AND THIS ONE IS PORTACIO'S. WHILCE IS AWESOME BUT LEE IS BETTER AT PACING.

 

ALSO, THEY BOTH LOVE BREAKIN THE FUCK OUT OF THE PANELS AND THEY BOTH DO SOME PROBABLY UNNECESSARY BUT STILL RAD DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS. STILL, LEE IS THE PRODIGY. THE GREAT YELLOW HOPE (SORRY, VERY RACIST, I INSTANTLY REGRET THAT. MY BAD.)

 

ANYWAY, THESE PANELS READ LIKE WATCHING JAPANIMATION. THERES JUST SOMETHING OFF ABOUT THEM. PROBABLY THE ASIANESS. HAHA, ASIANS (SORRY, ALSO RACIST).

 

COOL SUNGLASSES, COOL HAIR, COOL SMOKES, FUCKING GAMBIT IS SO FUCKING COOL.

HEY LETS ALL SMOKE CIGARETTES AND BE COOL.

UH, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. IT LOOKS ILLEGAL. COME ON MAN, THIS IS FUCKING NOT RIGHT.

YES, GOOD PANEL. EXCELLENT PANEL. LOFTY PANEL. JIM LEE AT HIS FINEST.

 

So the rumors you have heard are true. I have indeed been drinking. and thus, I shall be brief. Not unlike my performances of sensual congress. Haha WORDPLAY.

 

Anyhoot, Storm and Gambit are now friends. First they escape mind the controlling butt bag, The Shadow King, and his army of mind controlled Hounds, then they rob a bunch of people in Nawleens, then the get captured by Nanny and the Orphan Maker, then they fuck up Nanny and the Orphan maker.

 

I DONT LIKE 10 YEAR OLD STORM. NO ONE DOES. ITS A DUMB FUCKING PLOT DEVEOPMENT OF A CRAP CHARACTER.

 

But Gambit is pretty all right. Has potential. The backstory to what he was supposed to be and what he became is cool. LOOK IT UP I AM NOT FUCKING WIKIPEDIA.

 

The art suffers from the multiple pencilers, more so story telling than pure aesthetic quality, but the writing is cool enough. Fun times, not great but a pretty good comic for one hundred pennies. YES EVEN WITH INFLATION THIS COMIC IS A BARGAIN.

 

Great entertainment value. Fuckin lofty fuckin value.

 

Next issue is a fucking classic. Looking forward to it. Will be a time for pals indeed.
