Atlantic City hookers wear better clothes than that costume design. I rest my case

To be fair it is baffling why the designers insist on incorporating heels into the costume designs - If you want the characters to have better posture, just draw them with better posture.

Before i continue the comics discussion...

I think I'm going to get lucky and finally score a Ken Lashley Storm piece of art. So, I really hope we get a Storm preview soon! #StormRiot

I have not read it since it came out but I thought that at the end of it that all of the mutants that were affected by the "No More Mutants" statement had there mutant status restored with powers at the end of it. Am I wrong in thinking this?
Scarlet Witch never reversed what she said. Her powers killed many mutants. In the Hickman run, the X-Men refer to her as a terrorist and traitor. Some mutants got their powers back, some also underwent a secondary mutation, but the issue is that no new mutants were being born.

There still aren't many mutants now, but Charles has since come up with a plan to those he has alive. I highly recommend picking up House of X and Powers of X. Such a fresh reading of my favorite mutants.

Well, to be fair, she was the madam a boujee brothel back in the day. I think Emma is one of the few who wear heels or platforms. Storm does sometimes, but rarely.

Thanks Demona. For some reason I thought that both the Scarlet Witch and Hope Summers had reversed what the Scarlet Witch did. Now that I think about it I think they were able to defeat the Phoenix Force.

I have read Power of X and House of X and are reading a few of the X-titles regularly and have enjoyed them. Really like X-Men and am loving Excalibur. I was reading Marauders and X-Force and gave them each 6 to 7 issues and dropped them. I will be giving X-Factor a try though.

And I can get why mutants in general would consider the Scarlet Witch an enemy but Dr Doom had a part of the Scarlet Witch becoming corrupted yet that is never brought up.

Well for those of us that have been around reading comics since the late 70's, back then (and into the early 80's) the majority of heroines (both Marvel and DC) were drawn with high heels. Never gave it much thought then but looking back it is a wonder that none were ever portrayed breaking a heel.

Yea Ive been in and out of superhero comics since the end of 'age of apocalypse' - a time when costumes were just coloured in lingerie and swimsuits. Ironically also a time when they had swimsuit issues. The first time I saw combat footwear being incorporated into super heroine costumes was in Frank Cho's Wonder woman.

Just so we are clear, I am not a foot(wear) fetishist.

I wasn’t in the market for a Sentinel diorama, but after unveiling the Storm Archangel Iceman IS pieces, I’m gonna aim for the entire set.

Mystique & Professor ordered, I put a deposit on Sentinel diorama #2

I hope to have them paid off by the end of the year

That diorama is epic, if i wasn't set on my 1/4th collection, this would make an awesome display and much less expensive. Only problem is not many choices for display cases for them.
