this single panel of them is more tender & enjoyable than like basically everything in xfi (which was almost entirely bickering and banter about the weird biphobic stereotype shatterstar was made into). peter david eat your heart out
two more additions to the shine comics superhero universe! zephyr (speedster) and black claw (archer powerset but with a grappling hook). they're in the Main Big Superhero Team and have been around since the silver age. they've had Subtext for decades
second pic's pose was referenced from this panel by jim cheung from young avengers: children's crusade! drawing from comics is a fun way to work on Action Poses :)
whenever storm and nightcrawler are cute i am forced to hand in my mean lesbian card and go awwww at how adorable they are
