Infinity Wars Emma Frost

Infinity Wars was a 2018 event comic that pretty nakedly attempted to cash in on the success of its MCU counterpart. It really sucks, but there's some fun Emma Frost moments.

It gets better, trust me.

When we first see her she's melded with Logan, because Gamora remixed Thanos and instead of killing half the universe she combined two souls into one on a grand scale. 'Diamond Patch' is literally just Logan that says darling a lot. Emma would hate this.

Loki explains the gibberish that led to this situation and a dull bad guy shows up to get stabbed.

Diamond Patch leans on some phoenix time travel nonsense to summon Phoenix Logan. Ugh. Duggan reused this 'message your future self' trick much more effectively in Cable 2020.

Great, The Phoenix saying 'bub' - the concept is truly dead. I feel a bit bad for exposing people to this, but the two are split and Logan exits the story. That must have taken some restraint.

Emma takes Charge and insists she the motorcycle with Loki on the back. As it should be.

She somehow stands up to Gamora with all the Infinity Stones/Gems and takes the Power Stone for herself. As the stone operates from the wielder's mastery of mind, Emma is king shit. I'm kinda surprised they didn't use the much more recognisable (and Omega telepath) Jean Grey for this, but I'm glad Emma gets to flex.

That's a terrible BDSM joke, I'm not sure it makes sense. Then again I'm ace, so maybe someone more experienced can confirm or deny.

Unsurprisingly, they (yeah Kang, Ant-Man and Kamala showed up) are betrayed by Loki. However, his scheme sucks and they win anyway. Adam Warlock arrives to delete this silly universe and all is well. I'm just here for The White Queen tbh.

Squirrel Power

In honor of the final season of Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, here's a quick piece I did of the Luneen Lafagreen/Moon Squirrel version of the character from the 2018 Infinity Wars storyline.

Hope you like it!

Continuing to go through my great Ewing re-read, and have gotten to a mini I'd honestly forgotten about.

Infinity Warps was part of the Infinity Wars event, which I remember extremely poorly and even after refreshing myself with the summary I don't understand. Gamora was taking the infinity stones for some reason, Loki was making a lot of crazy moves, it was a whole thing. Big part was that Gamora decided to fold reality in half for some reason, resulting in a bunch of minis of two heroes getting amalamated together. Spider-Man and Moon-Knight became Araknight, Captain America and Dr Strange became the Solider Supreme—and Thor and Iron Man became Iron Hammer.

The two-issue series is mostly just some light pulp. There's not really much of substance, the main point of interest seeing what characters got folded together—Malekith and Mandarin! The Warriors Three and the various people who've held the "War Machine" Title! Heimdall and the JARVIS system, somehow!

(Ewing loves his ridiculous acronyms)

But the one that gave a big punch was Stane. Because even though he's positioned as the adopted son of Asguard, obviously filling the Loki role, he's not a Stane-Loki amalgam. Loki's apart from all this, doing his own larger schemes. This guy's just Stane.

And he knows he's just Stane.

The best part is, the metaphysical weirdness of him being half a person ends up making him fit even more as a Loki stand-in than he'd be if he was just half-Loki! Its a great little move for an otherwise slight title in a slight event.
