One of many hilarious moments from last week’s issue of Wolverine & The X-Men.
Emma: I love what you’ve done with the place, Kitty. It looks like every thirteen year old girl’s dream. Where do you keep the unicorns? And oh look, you have a redhead. How novel.
Kitty: I’ll hold her down. You carve us some earrings.
Rachel: Gladly.Wolverine & the X-Men #10
If there was a book that was just Kitty and Emma insulting each other for 20 pages every month, I’d buy it.

The only commission I picked up at C2E2: Magneto and Emma Frost by Clay Mann.
This week, Pat is joined by Caroline Pruett, Joey Aulisio and Alee Karim to talk about comic near and dear to his heart: Grant Morrison’s New X-Men! We talk about everything: the good stuff, the art problems, the themes and the character arcs. We talk about our favorite storylines, and how the run changed Marvel’s X-Men franchise forever.
Music by Steve Earnhart and The Fauves (featuring Grant Morrison)!

My buddy Dewey drew this for me as a holiday gift! Love it so much!
Ah, yes, I can finally post this! This was drawn for the homie Pat, and now that he has it, I can show it to you.
Got this excellent Emma Frost piece from Dave Stokes. You should check out his work by visiting his blog: http://stokesbook.blogspot.com/
The ridiculously talented Ramon Villalobos did this X-Men commission for me recently. Dude’s going places…
Emma Frost by Mark Brooks on Flickr.
This piece was the grail for me at the con.
You have to understand, I’ve been trying to get an original from Mark for almost 3 years now. I came close so many times, but it never worked out.
I got to know Mark a bit more thanks to the wonders of social media, I came to respect the guy and appreciate his work even more.
I came really, really close to getting something from him at SDCC and Dragon*Con earlier this year…but things always came up and he couldn’t get to me.
This time, he put me at the top of the list. Imagine how thrilled I was when I saw Mark’s wife Lisa tweet to me telling me that my sketch was done.
Worth the wait, and then some. Thanks, Mark and Lisa.

From the NYCC Haul: Emma Frost by Amanda Conner.
Took me a couple years, but I finally own a Conner piece!
