Day of the Locust
or: A Plague Upon Your Houses
Eeney, meeney, miney, moar, this weeks pick, X-men 24. Shades of THEM, Hollywood's version not Marvel's. The Lovely Locust, no, that can't be right... loquacious, lazy, larvalicious... well, whatever he was, could not only talk to insects, he could super-size them pretty much at will. Given they outnumber us billions to one I'd have expected him to be a more formidable, and more often employed, foe.
Without turning this into a weekly installment of the Rodney Dangerfield "Respect" Tour I feel a desire to give a shout out to early X-artist Werner Roth. The X-books have had more powerful stylists but Roth's draftsmanship was solid, his storytelling clear, and was just plain fun to look at. To his sons, Jay and Gavin, Your old man done good.
Happy Trails
