You have to get Immortal Iron Fist now. Aja drew it, and Fraction co-wrote it with Ed Brubaker. It's super-kung fu action!

I wonder if it is physically possible to twist one's torso like that. Just look at where the abdomen connects to the hip. I do not think this is meant to be exploitative though (or even a dig at his gayness). The artist wanted both of them to face the reader (turning your back to the audience is a general no-no in theatre), but he also wanted them charging at each other. An awkward compromise had to be made.

I'm guessing that Alan Scott and Gruny are now Earth 2's counterparts to Swamp Thing and the Rot.

It would be absolutely glorious if all the Canadian super-soldier disasters attributed their messed up superpowers to SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE.

Just because you know someone will eventually take it as fact and use it in a debate eventually.

It's not common, but it's not rare either. Pick up a random assortment of Batman, crossover events, Punisher and Matt Fraction comics, and you're pretty likely to find some gore that your mom would have yelled at you for looking at as a kid.

E: Also, any comic starring teenage superheroes.

That's because half the writers routinely forget and say it's an American program.

It's a completely different motorcycle. The top one looks to be a BMW of varying vintages (the forks are appropriate for the year the story takes place in, but the tank, at best looks like one that wouldn't show up for another decade - and it's not even quite right for that). The bottom one appears to be a random mish-mash of parts of various bikes that she stuck together. It looks like she wanted to keep the BMW boxer layout, but couldn't find a good reference, so she stuck the front of a cylinder to something else and then made a pipe that goes to nowhere. Then there's another random pipe coming out of the front of the engine. It also has different forks and the fender lost one of its support bits. The rear suspension is also totally wrong for a BMW of that vintage.

For reference, here is a 1961 BMW R60/2 which the first bike mostly looks like (though the tank is a bit different):

It also isn't "now" considering the comic is over 10 years old. Milligan's X-Force/X-Statix is still a really interesting series though and well worth a read. It deals with superheroes in a corporate/reality TV light and since all of the characters (other than cameos by the Avengers and Prof X) are original creations the book has no problem showcasing just how dangerous being a superhero really could be.

Well, Sentry did rip Ares in half in spectacularly gory fashion at the end of dark reign.

Plus all the insanely gory stuff in DC that superboy-prime has done, Black Adam murdering Psycho-pirate by poking his eyes through his skull, etc.

Mainstream comics have been exceedingly gory for a long rear end time. I remember the first couple of comics I ever read, when I was in grade school on vacation, one of the Reign of Supermen comics was in there and Cyborg Superman randomly turned an innocent family into writhing masses of melted skeletons. Traumatic, but I guess they decided that wanton graphic destruction sells.

Yeah, there's something kinda funny about the New X-Force being so old that people don't even remember it. X-Force 116 is from like, 2001.
