Different artists for this Mystique volume, as there seem to be for all of them - why wouldn't you keep it consistent? Once again, the covers are all soft porn, which I'm beginning to hate.
Anyway, Mystique is once again boobier and thinner, and therefore less convincing as a kick-ass spy. But she's still suitably conflicted about her motives and so on, and there's a good intrigue going on as well, which is fun. Apparently the next volume reveals some things (finally), so I'm looking forward to reading that one.

I get your point. But if I could be contrarian for a moment ... Yes, but she IS a shapeshifter. She could be as thin or busty as she wanted and probably get away with it in the spy performance department. I mean for the very reason that she's drawn like that (as as most porn-star super heroes, errr I meant super heroes) - and by that I mean men what to look at the female figure and think confession inducing thoughts - female spies may be able to get one over on unsuspecting men. It's all a cliche but it's mostly true. Huh? I am sorry. I didn't hear you. I was watching Ms. Darkholme pass on by me. But still, you're probably right. :)
Oh, I know - I don't mind when she's being super busty and model-like when she's shapeshifted. But I think of the blueskin body as her normal shape (although I realise she can change that as well as much as she likes). I like seeing her look buff and strong and tough when she's kicking people in the chin. It irritates me when she's kicking people in the chin with a skinny little leg.
You're right, really. And there's the penchant for stiletto heels. I mean really, how practical is that when fighting superpowered baddied? I'm a guy and that just doen't look natural (nor do feathered pumps during sex, but the stolen porn of my youth certainly seemed to hint at that being nearly obligatory, but I digress) Hmmm ... I think I just found the topic for my next commentary. Stay tuned.
I really should read those comments before posting them for complete sentences and spulling errrs.
What topic was that? Obligatory feathered pumps during sex?
Oh, wait, I see ;-)
Man, I used to get so annoyed watching Buffy run around and go vampire hunting in high heels. What the hell is that? No-one can sprint away from vampires in stilettos, I don't care if you're the Slayer.
