Will the White Queen Be This Generation’s Baroness?
Will the White Queen Be This Generation’s Baroness?
Marvel threw up a new trailer for its Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon, and while I’m still annoyed by the sullen loner Logan leading the team (much like I was annoyed in X-Men 3) the trailer looks pretty darn good. It’s a cast mostly out of Astonishing X-Men, so there’s Shadowcat and White Queen and no Jean Grey, which I’m totally fine with. But here’s my question?will today’s children be irrevocably changed by the White Queen? She’s not wearing much more than she does in the comic, and I’m willing to bet she’ll guide a few young boys down the first, murky steps to funny feelings in their bathing suit areas.
