Superhero Saturday with Jim Lee´s X - Men

Okay, not just with the X - MEN but the great majority of the pictures in this post on Jim Lee´s 54th birthday are from Marvel´s merry mutants.


And I really had to control myself not to make an all X - MEN post. I thought I had recently done one, or at least last year but after checking my old posts I have come to the conclusion that I didn´t make a Jim Lee birthday post last year. The last one I did was in 2016 and it had stuff from various comic book series Jim Lee had worked on. You can go and check that one out before reading this one which saves me the trouble of having to explain again that since I am not a big fan of the NEW 52 you won´t find any JUSTICE LEAGUE or SUICIDE SQUAD stuff in this post. But I do want to start with some DC stuff because people forget that there is actually some good DC reading material out there drawn by Jim Lee.


Apropos Catwoman, one of the worst ( or best depending on how much you get aroused by a leather clad Halle Berry ) renditions of Selina Kyle on the big screen was handled by Halle Berry and you may have seen various posts about her appear and vanish from this blog over the last few days.

As usual I wanted to do one re - post of last year´sHalle Berry´s birthday posts and since the posts are not shown in the proper text ratio in the preview version I had to publish them to see if everything was okay. And yes, I said posts, plural because at first I just wanted to do one long post.

Then - as is always the case when I write about sexbombs like HalleBerry - it got very long. Not too long to post it but I decided to split it into two posts since that also means two video sections and you know there are never enough posts to include all the videos I bookmark. Well, after splitting the post into two the second part was almost twice as long as the new first part so I did a little spin - off post. So now there will be three new ( well, there will be some old stuff but each part will include some new stuff like pictures, animated GIFs and videos ) posts of which I have already finished the first one and the main part of the second one.


And they will all go back on the blog on Halle Berry´s next birthday this month ( unless something goes wrong ) so there will be plenty of stuff for Halle Berry fans. As for those that come here strictly for the comics since I am writing them in advance they don´t have a negative effect on my regular posting ratio so in this regard everything will be business as usual. 

Coming back to Jim Lee, we are now making the switch to the Marvel side with HEROES REBORN which is testament to the fact that he was involved in let´s say unfortunate reboots in the past and be gracious. From all of the various attempts by the iMAGE guys to get some old Marvel properties their moxie back Jim Lee´s FANTASTIC FOUR was one of the interesting ones - at least art wise. I think what made that project fail in the end was that they just re - iMAGE - ined ( sorry for the pun, I couldn´t resist ) the books without looking what lay at the core of the heroes. And so you just got some cheap Marvel hero knockoffs and a lot of potential got wasted.


We are even going further back with a series Jim Lee was born to draw : PUNISHER WAR ZONE. Before he was let loose on the x - books Jim Lee chronicled the ongoing war of Frank Castle but we are not straying too far from the x - universe since we start off with a meeting - or better clashing - of everyone´s favorite psychotic ex - marine and one sawed off canadian runt who is the best at what he does. And don´t you ever forget it, bub. 


It may be hard to believe for Today´s comic readers who grew up with artists who have problems doing a monthly title but back then Jim Lee was not only cranking up books of impeccable quality but doing so rapid fire. A while ago I bought the ACTS OF VENGEANCE : CROSSOVERS omnibus ( not because it´s one of my favorite crossovers but because it was cheap and contains two of the best issues from Ann Nocenti´s DAREDEVIL run with John Romita Jr. ) and besides the famous story in UNCANNY X - MEN 256 to 258 which introduced the sexy asian nija Psylocke he also drew issue 12 of PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL. Now I am not sure what the actual timeline here is and if he had some time between finishing up on one book and starting on the other but all four issues came out within three months. So if you are a Jim Lee fan you get a lot of bang for your buck. 


Speaking of Marvel´s mind reading mutant massita Psylocke, Jim Lee also drew probably the most iconic page ever in adjective less X - MEN issue 8.


And she was not the only female who looked her best under Jim Lee. The bosses at Marvel took full advantage of the plethora of hot babes within the ranks of the X - Men and while you may argue about the quality of some of the stories you can´t deny Jim Lee´s knack for drawing the female form. From X - Men members like my beloved Storm or Rogue to enemies like Deathbird the x - universe looked hot, sexy and exciting.

August 6th

Starting off our birthday list is Marisa Miller who turns 40. I thought she was the one who played the Baroness in the first G. I. Joe movie but that was the other hot model with Miller as her last name apparently. Sienna.


Marissa DID star in a comic book movie though, Dark Horse´s R.I.P.D. which I have managed to see since I last mentioned it and I have to say they really squandered a lot of potential for nude scenes and didn´t make very much with such an incredible sexbomb like Marissa Miller in the cast.


Lisa Boyle turns 54 and I have to call foul on her imdb entry that states she is best known for her roles in Bad Boys, Face / Off, Lost Highway or The Nutty Professor. I didn´t even know she was in those movies. No, if you know Lisa Boyle it´s either from her pictures in PLAYBOY and the over 25 Playboy magazine Special Editions where she was often paired with Patricia Ford, her roles in such erotic classics like FriendOf TheFamily, MidnightTease, Dreammaster - The EroticInvader and ILikeToPlayGamesToo or her recurring role on the cult sitcom Married With Children.


She played Fawn, one of Kelly´s bosom buddies - with a huge emphasis on the bosom part - and constantly outshone Christina Applegate like in this scene from the episode Spring Break - Part 1 from season 10 where she really pushed her 35Cs so tightly together in her tiny red bikini top when she´s leaning forward that I totally forgot that Christina was in the shot.

Yesterday sci fi cult siren Claudia Christian who turned 53. Her biggest claim to fame isa little sci fi movie from 1997 called The Hidden. The film is still shown on tv mostly because of her raunchy striptease ( with which she secured herself a spot on my Top 10 Best Movie Striptease list with stripper stars like SalmaHayek , DemiMoore , JaMILFLeeCurtis , Elizabeth Berkley , HalleBerry and ErikaEleniak ) who is best known from another sci fi show, Babylon 5 by comic writer J. Michael Strazynski where she plays Commander Susan Ivanova. Although I doubt she wore anything as skimpy as this on it.

videos

when I saw the first video of Piper Blush on YouTube I was not sure if it was serious or some kind of prank the only thing I suspected was that with those giant melons she must be a porn star but she´s so much more canadian adult model, porn star, writer, performance artist incredible measurements 37F ( same as 37DDD ! ) - 26 - 37 you can not only find her on a website that´s all about oral sex but she´s a confessed blowjob addict



there are a few videos of her on YouTube and it was really hard ( ! ) selecting only one if you like this do yourself a favor and check out her french lesson videos which has no double meaning because they are really about learning the french language now I had french lesson for more than four years in school and I don´t know if I would have learned more or less if my french teacher would have had such giant hooters like Piper I do know that I would have had a hard time concentrating on her lessons man I wish I could have met her when I was still in my sexual prime



I was saving this for a John Byrne special DEATH IN COMICS : DAYS OF FUTURE PAST post because so many super heroes bite the dust in this seminal story - on and off panel


the movie version is not even the tip of the iceberg compare to the original comic book story



I had a bookmark for just the Jim Lee part but the video got deleted so here you also have Todd Mc Farlane, Rob Liefeld and Whilce Portaccio as a bonus
