Big honking gun, held by a green skinned guy on his way into what appears to be a sewer outlet. Only missing the tiger striped pants...

Very suspicious.

The multi-armed woman in the back wasn't multi-weilding mini-guns... she's doing it wrong.
The asian girl in the mask & sailor outfit was spot on.
Posted by: hobgoblin Sep 16 2011, 09:27 PM
the lady is likely a fomori...

Fomori are the fat trolls.

Not quite. Fomori are the "pretty" trolls.

I prefer "zaftig". By the time they figure it out, I'm in the next enclave.

Darn it, that is what i get for posting while half-asleep and not bothering to check books.
Nartaki was what i had in mind, how i got that and fomori crossed i have no idea...
(maybe there have been a glut of fomori with surged shiva arms?)

Nartaki are the four-armed humans.
One of my Players wanted to make one that drove a taxi and did tech support/illegal hacking in AR at the same time.

Yes, I know...

But apparently
Hobgoblin thinks they are fat Trolls.
Posted by: hobgoblin Sep 17 2011, 03:40 PM
just for reference, i was commenting on the 4 armed lady in the background of the DC cover but got my metatypes crossed (likely because all the minmaxers have been having fun surging shiva-arms on troll metatypes for maximum dakka). But if this is not a genuine case of confusion, quit beating the dead horse.
Posted by: CanRay Sep 17 2011, 03:41 PM
But I just got a brand new beatin' stick!
Posted by: Seriously Mike Sep 17 2011, 03:58 PM
...the idiom "beating a dead horse" is very, very hilarious to us Middle-Eastern Europeans. Mentioning a "beating stick" in relation to it is hilarious as well.

Obviously, it's sex. Not very complimentary about the sexual partners, though. :/

I'd say Canon Companion, at least for the "subtle entry in tiger-striped pants" part.

"Beating a horse" is an euphemism for masturbation here.

Thanks Method and Dahrken, don't know why I was metally blocking that, kept relooking at DNA/DOA thinking there must be something closer. doh.

Mike, seriously, remind me not to date gals from where ever there is. There would be definite issues of misplaced expectations.

's funny, folks from abroad say they're pretty. But as far as I know them, you'd have... "communication issues". Folks here will swear up, down and sideways they speak English, but when they have to, it suddenly turns out they know ten words at best, can't pronounce them correctly and have accents so thick you wouldn't understand them even if they knew more words and pronounced them correctly. I'm something of an exception.

Meh. Not seeing any "copying".
A guy with big gun entering a round sewer-looking doorway. That's kinda generic as far as sci-fi/fantasy art goes.

I don't think anyone was seriously suggesting 'copying' in a 'break out the mob violence' manner.

I'm sure we'll need them soon enough.

If anything, DC is copying Marvels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punisher_(2009_series)
Posted by: Bigity Sep 19 2011, 02:34 PM
Wolverine's son? WTF?
I've been out of comics too long I guess. I stopped reading Marvel during the Siege Perilous stuff in X-Men.
I should have stopped after Fall of the Mutants and I would have remained happy.
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 19 2011, 02:45 PM
You think THAT is a WTF? O.o
Have you seen the FEMALE PRE-TEEN HOOKER WOLVERINE CLONE?

Maybe that's where the Lesbian Elf Stipper Ninja originates from.
Posted by: CanRay Sep 20 2011, 02:21 AM
No, they've been in Shadowrun longer than X-23 has been around.
Posted by: Yerameyahu Sep 20 2011, 02:26 AM
It's comic books, it could originate backwards in time!

"A guy with big gun entering a round sewer-looking doorway...."
So..is anyone else slighty aroused at this?
