This looks incredibly dumb to me, but I decided to post it anyway. It’s a teaser for the X-Men: First to Last bit that will be coming out in May. Obviously it’s to support the movie X-Men: First Class, but being that that train wreck only has 1 out of the 5 original First Class Members I don’t quite get how this is related. Thoughts?
Whilst shopping for candles, the Rogues came upon a “Fireside” candle. We immediately decided it smelled like Gambit. How do we know that you ask – Don’t ask, just let it happen. This led us to discuss what we think the X-Men would smell like. Below are some of our thoughts…. what do you think your favorite comic book characters would smell like?
Professor X – Mothballs and Wig Glue
Cyclops – Axe and a Fraternity House
Jean Grey – Plain-as-can-be Ivory Soap and Breck Shampoo
Wolverine – Naturally Occurring Old Spice (the man your man wants to smell like), Woods and Cigar Smoke
Storm – Outside, right before it rains
Rogue – Magnolias and Sass
Gambit – Spices, Bourbon, Cigarettes and Bad Decisions
Beast – Doggie Shampoo
Emma Frost – Better than you, that’s all you need to know, darlings
Nightcrawler – Sulfer and Brimstone
Kitty Pryde – Cucumber Melon body wash from Bath and Body Works
Jubilee – Bubblegum
Angel – Rich Mahogany and Money
Magneto – Pantene Pro-V (smell THIS, Charles)
Sabretooth – Raw Animal Hides
Toad – Flies and Stickiness
Pyro – Matches
Quicksilver – Shame and Disappointment
Scarlet Witch – PMS
Teon (one of the Five Lights) – Flea Powder and Urine
Deadpool – Gun Powder and Tacos/Chimichangas
Time for the Holiday-Style Photo of the Day series.We’re going to start with Emma getting a snow ball to the face. You’d better believe that whoever just messed up her hair is dead – DEAD I tell you! By Salvador Larroca.
Here’s some naughtiness for your Sunday. Emma Frost by Aly Fell.
It’s Friday so you get a two-fer! The White Queen with the Phoenix, both normal and scary Dark Phoenix. By Alvin Lee.
Everything about First Class has been a WTF so here’s one more. First look at January Jones as Emma Frost on set of First Class. Let’s pretend for a moment that Emma wasn’t a fetus in the 60s. Sure, this outfit is very “60’s” ish, but Emma Grace Frost wouldn’t be caught DEAD in that bloody hat! WTF?

R2 would just like to go on record as stating that I have officially quit this bitch. Fox has used the X-Men as their personal pooper one too many times. For them to do this to my beloved Emma is UNFORGIVABLE. Liev Schreiber himself couldn’t get me to watch this movie…(Ok, yes he could.)

Fox: Brutally murdering my childhood, one character at a time.
R1 co-signs this rant. Even Liev couldn’t get me in there. They are taking a big Cleveland Steamer on my favorite comic book characters. X-Men have always had the #1 place in my heart. Damn you, FOX!
A look at us in our X-chick garb from the X-Men themed Bachelorette party last Saturday. R1 went as Rogue and R2 went as Emma Frost (and gave great bitch face in most of the pics). We are here posing with our SIGNED J. Scott Campbell poster because it’s the most awesome thing ever! Bask in the nerdiness!
In honor of my X-Men themed party tonight – X-chicks by Terry Dodson.
UPDATE: Supposedly Alice Eve requested to be released from the role because she didn’t agree with changes being made to the script.
As if it would be any other movie, right? Apparently earlier reports of Alice Eve being cast as Emma Frost were wrong, and now it’s been being said that Mad Men actress January Jones will be playing the White Queen. I’m OK with the switch because I think Alice Eve would make a much better Ms. Marvel, but I don’t know enough about January Jones to co-sign her as one of our favorite b*tches in the comic business. Thoughts?
