Linda Le as Psylocke!

Here's another fab cosplay photo by Jay Tablante featuring the beautiful Vampy Bit Me aka Linda Le as Psylocke.

Currently Jay's got three Psylocke's under his belt. The very first one was with actress Bubbles Paraiso, second (and one of the most famous) was the Uncanny X-Force version of Psylocke done with Jinri Park and now this.

The fun thing? No matter how many more Psylocke cosplay shoots he plans on doing, it'll still be awesome.

Psylocke and Female FANTOMEX CLUSTER Puts the X in Uncanny X-Force

I'm late with Uncanny X-Force vol 2 (with plot and script by Sam Humphries) and I'm quite surprised with this little panels featuring Psylocke and Cluster (the female Fantomex).

Check out these kinda cute and kinda raunchy panels from a recent issue of the Psylocke-centric X-Force

So yeah, it looks like that, Psylocke has unlocked the ability to swing both ways. I'll need to read further to understand why this happened and why she's not doing the horizontal mambo with the male, good guy Fantomex (which was who she was with when Remender's Uncanny X-Force run ended). 

It's fan service AND fan fiction all served up nicely in a few panels with great colors. 

Marvel's Next Event Book will Focus on Apocalypse and Archangel

Bleedingcool reports that what's coming next year for Marvel Comics for their event book will revolve around the Celestials, Archangel, Apocalypse and more importantly, Magneto.

Obviously the writers for this project will be Jason Aaron (Wolverine and the X-Men) and Rick Remender (who did a lot for these characters back in the first volume of Uncanny X-Force; including "The Dark Angel Saga").

So it's probably time to start re-reading Remender's Uncanny run as well as the earlier issues of WATXM (you know, the one where Warren's gone off his rocker and believes that he's a real angel). Oh and the rumor site cited current Captain America and Kick-Ass artist John Romita Jr. as the book's main art guy.

Kotobukiya X-Force Psylocke Bishoujo Statue

Based on Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force comes this new Psylocke statue from Kotobukiya. And can I just say that it looks deadly!

Here's the official press release for the product which comes out December 2013:

"A Kotobukiya Japanese import! The Marvel Bishoujo collection continues with a brand new version of the mysterious and beautiful telepathic mutant ninja, Psylocke X-Force Ninja Outfit Ver! Once a British woman with minor mutant powers, Elizabeth “Betsy” Braddock’s mind was transferred into the body of a ninja giving her additional martial arts prowess. A long-time member of the X-Men, Psylocke more recently joined up with the brutal mutant hit squad X-Force, comprised of mutants willing to do anything to get the job done and protect the world. Psylocke fit right in, using her awesome powers and debuting a cool monochrome costume. Based on a new illustration by master artist Shunya Yamashita, Psylocke has never looked better with her X-Force outfit and adorable Bishoujo styled face! The deadly telepathic mutant crouches low with one leg in full extension, ready to leap into battle! Psylocke rests on one hand while the other holds her katana at the ready. She’s never looked better in her X-Force outfit consisting of a sleek black skin-tight costume, thigh high boots, long fingerless gloves, and unique straps around her upper arms and legs. All of that is offset with a white belt decorated with the red and black X-Force symbol, and the tied off sash waves with unseen wind along with Psylocke’s trademark purple hair! The dynamic mutant has a striking Bishoujo-styled face that combines her beauty with deadly focus. Sculpted by Busujimax (Takaboku Busujima), the new X-Force Psylocke reaches 8 inches high (1/7 scale) in her dynamic pose. A fantastic addition to any Bishoujo Statue or X-Force collection, this Psylocke is not to be missed!

Available December 2013.

Kinda bummer though that it's not Shunya Yamashita who sculpted this statue.

New Days of Future Past Photo features Peter Dinklage's Moustache

Peter Dinklage looks very familiar with the way he's wearing his 'stache while going over the movie's script with Bryan Singer.

For someone who's been teased to play the role of Sentinel/ Nimrod/ Mastermold creator Bolivar Trask he took a lot care in growing that moustache. In fact looking at this photo from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past he resembles current Uncanny X-Force member Puck.

Yes, count me in as one of the guys that still thinks that Dinklage will play Puck because it's pretty obvious.

A Promising Female Fantomex/ Cluster Cosplay

Still have no idea who the cosplayer but all I can say is whoa.

My Five Comic Book Couples for 2012-2013

Valentine's is just around the corner (edit: it's actually today) and I wanted to make it an extra special post for this month of love. So here are my top five comic book couples gather from comic books that were published in 2012 all the way to the present.

1. Superman and Wonder Woman...

I can already here the Lois-Superman fanboys screaming No the way Darth Vader screamed in Episode III. But I'm putting my money in this pairing for a number of reasons. One is that they're almost on the same power level. Wonder Woman can bench press a car, Superman can do that and more. Bullets bounce off of them. Secondly if you've been following the comic books closely you'll know that they learn from each other which is something that a couple should always do. Thirdly, it just makes sense that their real world counterparts are also dating...

Toyfair 2013: Marvel Legends with Phoenix Five Cyclops

Here's a look at some of the Marvel Legends figures that came out again during Toyfair 2013. It's a wave that's built around Wolverine (or more appropriately the X-Men). Images appear courtesy of Toyark as watermarked.

I'm not an expert in ROML (or Hasbro's Marvel Legends) but I do know that this is basically the repainted Uncanny X-Force Wolverine slapped around with some new details and colors. Still, since I do have the UXF Wolverine, it's still a nice figure. 

Uncanny X-Force # 1 Review and Massive Spoilers

Sam Humphries made me shout "what the hell" with the release of Uncanny X-Force # 1 together with artist Ron Garney. Here are the spoilers for this week's fabulous release.

Read more of the review and the spoiler after the cut.

New Screenshots for Deadpool Console Game

We already know that for the new Deadpool game Cable, Domino and Death herself will make an appearance. We also know that the game will be funny as heck so it's time to look at the action aspect for the game via these new screenshots. 

Check out the other screenshots after the cut...

The Covers for my Picks for Next Week from Comicx Hub

Comicx Hub updated their facebook photo gallery for the products coming out next week. Here are some of the covers that are my picks including Uncanny X-Force and Young Avengers.

Uncanny X-Force # 1 Skottie Young Cover

Young Avengers # 1 Skottie Young Variant Cover

Here are the other covers:

Wood and Coipel Reel in the Beauties in X-Men # 1

The adjectiveless X-Men book pretty much became Brian Wood's baby once he took over the writing duties from former writer Victor Gischler and come April, he'll be weaving this same magic for X-Men together with artist Olivier Coipel.

This actually spells awesome as they've got a 'crossover' team for it's roster. We have Storm and Psylocke from "Uncanny X-Force" together with "Wolverine and the X-Men" cast Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey aka Marvel Girl and Rogue (who also happens to be part of Uncanny Avengers). And then there's Jubilee who's been visibly absent for awhile (ever since she decided to run for a bit with the Forgiven). 

There's also the story...

Preview: Uncanny X-Force # 1

Here's the cool looking preview for Uncanny X-Force # 1 by Sam Humphries and Ron Garney with covers by Olivier Coipel.

Here's the synopsis for the second volume of Uncanny X-Force...

THE DARKEST CORNERS OF THE MUTANT UNIVERSE: EXPOSED! The X-Men: sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them. UNCANNY X-FORCE: charged to deal with situations the X-Men fear and hate! Psylocke and Storm lead a new team of outcasts and scoundrels, including fan-favorite Puck, the villainous Spiral, and the mysterious Cluster. The first adversary to strike out from the darkness? X-legend BISHOP!

Uncanny X-Force # 35 - Guess Who's Back

Fantomex returns in Uncanny X-Force # 35 by Rick Remender and Phil Noto.

So yeah, after Remender shocks us with the seeming death of Fantomex at the hands of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, he's suddenly backed. 

Uncanny X-Force # 35 - Touching Scene Between Deadpool and Genesis

A lot of great things have happened in the pages of Uncanny X-Force # 35 by Rick Remender with art by Phil Noto.

It's the final issue so rather than just laying all the great moments in one post, I'm making this a multi-parter. I'd like to savor the moment for a great finale and secondly I'd like to focus on the more in-depth character developments. 

Here's the Hasbro Marvel Legends Figs for 2013

2013 is shaping up to be such an awesome year not only for comics and video games but also for toys (including action figures). Hasbro once teased these figures as coming out next year featuring the X-Force Wolverine and a Hit-Monkey build-a-figure.

These figures include a.) Ultimate Captain America b.) The Sentry c.) Iron Fist d.) Hyperion e.) Uncanny X-Force Wolverine f.) The Protector g.) Red She Hulk 

Uncanny X-Force # 34 Spoilers

In this issue, further proof that the former physical form of Fantomex won't be coming back. Also which Brotherhood members die in this issue.

So to begin with, it looks like Fantomex will be coming back, but not in the same way that we all wanted it to be. For all we know, we could be seeing a rebooted version of Fantomex merging the old Fantomex with the EVA character.

Massive Redesigns for Psylocke, Fantomex and Spiral for Uncanny X-Force

Uncanny X-Force is getting a relaunch when Marvel Now kicks into overdrive and here's a sneak peek at the character designs for the new team led by Psylocke including Storm and Spiral and Lady Fantomex.

I'm mildly interested in this with my only gripe being that we're seeing a female Fantomex with no EVA anywhere?
