I have taken Juggernaut being nominated for the X-Men vote as tacit permission from the universe to give in to the impulse to do Several Happy Drawings of him, for as you know, Mr. Cain Marko is so very much my particular favorite character.

Gimmick (Carmen Cruz) the token mutant of her former team, Children of the Atom; talks to her friend, Buddy Bartholomew about her time in Krakoaland and her fight against the rogue mutants - Infestation and Snot. Gimmick is a student of Bishop (Lucas Bishop) who trains her to fight, sharpen her mutant skill and to work as a team. Besides Gimmick, the students of Bishop are Graymalkin (Jonas Graymalkin), Specter (Dallas Gibson), D-Cel (Miranda Manuel) and Kafka the newest X-Kid. Firestar (Angelica Jones) interrupts Bishop by telling him that there are rogue mutants causing trouble at Central Park. Gimmick vouches to go on a mission to stop Snot and Infestation at the park.
Snot and Infestation are scaring the humans when they are interrupted by "Bishop" who tells them that they should go for training with the X-Man instead of causing trouble. However, the two bad mutants laugh off and they attack, forcing Gimmick to drop her disguise. Gimmick calls for Specter, Graymalkin and D-Cel to subdue Snot while she and Kafka could try to stop Infestation. Unfortunately, this doesn't go well when Infestation sics her bugs onto Gimmick and Kafka while Graymalkin and Specter get thrown off. Even though Gimmick and her team managed to get their upperhand on Snot and Infestation, they failed to apprehend the bad mutants as they ran away to Limbo Embassy where they are considered as untouchable to Krakoaland.
This story might be a set-up to Steve Foxe's new upcoming comic Dark X-Men.
im going to say it… lin manuel miranda is a well trained actor and is actually eating hermes up a little bit… y’all just need to let go of your thirteen year old self who was cringe about hamilton…. do not let your anger be misdirected towards an artist that lost control of his creation…
i hope the pjo show makes lmm hermes. not him playing hermes; he IS hermes.
percy: you’re hermes? wait aren’t you that guy who wrote hamilton
hermes: i made a bet with apollo bc he said i wouldn’t be able to write a musical better than him. i needed to prove my superiority. artemis gave us each a topic to write about.
Hc that Hermes created the Lin Manuel persona as a joke but Hamilton was wildly successful so he just kept it up and Apollo is FURIOUS that a) he’s overstepped into his domain and b) he’s so damn GOOD at it (much to the chagrin of literally everyone)
It’s like the dam cow thing all over again, but this time instead of stealing fifty of his cows Hermes stole his bit.
I was in the Hunger Games and the only other person alive was Lin-Manuel Miranda, and he was freestyle rapping everything he said. He killed me with a spear while singing something from Hamilton.
Juggernaut and D-Cel. The lettering on this little goof was a lot of fun, getting an entire back-and-forth conversation to fit into one image on a single piece of paper.
