Sweet threads, Brigadier! (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
Life Model Decoy life is hard. (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
At this point, she should really just change her code name to “Ripley.” (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
Thiiiiiiiiis guy. (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
“Maybe, like, a buck fifty?” (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
And that’s why we don’t experiment on ourselves, Dr. Cayre. (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
Air-Walker is a cyborg who loves his work. (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
And now, a whole bunch of Lockheed making really good shifty faces! (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
Seriously, it’s basically just this for like six images. (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
What, you thought I was joking? (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
I was not joking. (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
(Okay, fine, I also threw in a Captain Britain suit on fire.) (Excalibur: Air Apparent)
But here’s one more Lockheed, for good measure! (Excalibur: Air Apparent)

Big fan here! I wanted to let you know that the credits in XX Crossing are seriously effed. The first two segments appear to be correctly credited, but the Meggan/Angel sequence and all subsequent segments are not. I’m 99% sure that part is drawn Brian Stelfreeze. The credits for the rest of the story are displaced, with Kylun by Turner/Rubenstein, Nightcrawler by Joe Mad/McManus, Shadowcat by Jae Lee, Cerise by Malcolm Jones III, everyone by Leonardi/Williamson, and the last 2 pages by Lightle/Palmiotti. I hope that Jay, at least, will appreciate my commitment to pedantry as it relates to obscure comic books.
Sidestep’s interview technique is appalling. He leads with the bit about the drama of his name…when he is speaking ro DOCTOR DOOM! Then his ‘special skill’ involves time travel. He’s clearly done very little research into the Latverian polymath.
However, now I know Doom handles so much of his own HR, I want to see the story where Doom discovers Mojo has made this the subject of a popular TV show…
