The last time I paid any serious attention to the X-Men comic, the team was still tricked out in those god-awful blue and yellow uniforms! Obviously, I have a lot of catching up to do! Emma's a terrific cutie, and like all cute girls she looks all the more adorable trapped in the throes of tickle torment! A canny PR ploy for the Anti-Mutant Squad, being pro-fetish... I'm tempted to join the organization myself! Lots of very cool FX in this picture: the heated glow from Emma's headband contrasts sharply against the icy emanations spawning those tormenting hands! The heavy directional shadowing creeping across her limbs sells the ominous mood all the better! Nice color balance, too... the very fair shades that grace the girl (predominantly stark white and straw) look vulnerable indeed when invaded by the hard gunmetal hues of the invading fingers and the royal purple decadence of the plumes! Ideal comix imagery... the X-Men movies would have benefited from this sort of fun! Better still, the X-Men games... what could beat hands-on participation!
