~Foxfire~

   No, not Marvel's Foxfire from The Squadron Supreme series... This is Foxfire from Malibu Comics': Ultraverse. Although, funny enough- this title was launched out of the Phoenix: Resurrection thing that happened after Marvel had purchased Malibu...
   Foxfire was bred as a super-weapon fifty years in the future and then hidden, from an evil alien race, in the present day in order to be able to mature- so she could, in time, defeat them... Her "parents" were secretly robot guardians assigned to protect her but eventually her "father" is killed, and her "mother" malfunctions and is now trying to destroy her.
   Written by Ian Edginton and Dan Abnett, and penciled by Kevin J. West- it only lasted four issues before the entire Malibu Universe was folded away, buried, and forgotten in Earth-93060.

Issue #1 had a really nice cover by Steve Lightle. I know this particular gimmick is something that has been done before- but I still love it...

...seeing the front, and back view of the same image- on each side of the book. He even adjusted the lighting accordingly!  Noice.

Barry Windsor-Smith did an amazing cover in this style to Swords of Cerebus Vol 5. 

-King's not home much...

~The Shroud is basically The Shadow of The Marvel Universe... that's pretty-much all you need to know about him for this post.  Oh, and you may have noticed that I missed Monday's update. -Totally my bad.  (Plus, I had to deal with this.) I won't be updating the blog as much in the next few weeks, either... new job, no time.  Adjusting.  -You know how it is.
So, anyways; here we go!:

Foolish woman!  You cannot seduce The Shroud!!!  He will laugh in your general direction...

 -He is beyond the needs of the physical body, for he is imbued with the extrasensory perception of  The Darkforce Dimension... that, and also... he's blind.   

So...  yeah.  You could be Kate Upton, bitch- Shroud don't give a fuck!

(That's what she gets for trying to cheat on me, anyways.)
