And definitely didn't take a bath. Hmmm.

>>88261
I think Ellis said he was surprised people didn't get they were a couple from the first page they appeared in, since they were naked together for no reason and he thought that was a big enough hint.

So they probably got together sometime after they almost got captured by Bendix again in Secret History.

>>88268
Seriously. Either fanboys get naked together for no reason whatsoever more than people realize, or they were in deep denial that two badass guys like Midnighter and Apollo could be gay in any way. :p

A page from The Authority VS Lobo 2.

Yes. That is indeed Midnighter in his cowl, whitey tighties, boots and nothing else.

>>88271
lemme up that with midnighter and a nipple ring

>>88310
Nipple ring?
Get on my level, here's a whip.

My god. Tell me that's official art and not fan art.

>>88314
It's a cover they didn't use.

What a waste. If I'd seen a comic with a cover like that, I would have snapped it up in an instant. Although uh..I would prefer no Jenny on said cover. And more upclose detail of Midnighter's..legs. Yes.

For a series filled with so much violence and sex, I'm surprised how little NC17 fanart there is.
Like where is art of Midnighter getting powerdrilled by Apollo? XD

>>88319
lol Good point. I'd like also to see some hawt nc-17 art of Midnighter and Apollo doing the horizontal mambo. Ya just know Midnighter tops from the bottom.

only porn I have of them is threesome

>>88390
Who's that supposed to be, Grifte-
Midnighter and apollo and the doctor.jpg

I can look past the animu faces, but that looks absolutely nothing like Doc, I can't even figure out if it's supposed to be Jeroen or Habib.

I'm assuming it's Habib. Jeroen had really short hair and those red glasses.

>>88396
Went on Paheal to see if there's more and that pic is tagged with Jeroen.

There's also one of a badly drawn Apollo fucking Jenny Sparks.
I'm confused.

That's Jeroen?? Has the artist ever read the comic??

>There's also one of a badly drawn Apollo fucking Jenny Sparks.

Just...no. No no no. :|

>>88399
He's also accompanied by a badly drawn Midnighter fucking Angie.
Paheal, you disappoint me.

>He's also accompanied by a badly drawn Midnighter fucking Angie.

Holy shit, that made me laugh out loud. I'm feeling almost masochistic enough to go look for the pic just to see it.

>>88401

Oh it's a beauty, Jenny and Angie seem to be screaming into Jack's dick but he looks like he's much more interested in checking out Apollo and there's no way his other hand isn't groping Midnighter's ass.

And then you have Swift in front of it all, just chillin'.

>>88402
Never have I wished more that brain bleach be real, graaaaaaahh

>>88402

Ok, I will retain my sanity and assume Jack is being a more perverted bastard than usual, controlling Apollo and Midnighter into fucking women for his..pleasure. Otherwise KILL IT WITH FIRE.

this is the only way this plot can go that I will actually like Midnighters new creepy stalker tendencies

>>88424
I would be ok with it if anybody acknowledged he's a creepy guy in a spiky gimp suit that just appeared out of nowhere and said he has been stalking the guy they've been trying to recruit for the last year, so hands off, he's mine.
It doesn't even have to be Apollo, I can buy he's a mental case as well.

Though the worst thing is that the "we're two of a kind, that's why we stay in the shadows, we should work together" actually turned out to mean they're both gay. Fucking hell, I thought it would be explained they're both bio-engineered or in the worst case scenario that they don't follow the no-kill rule or something, the idea that he was referring to their orientation seemed so contrived and illogical I didn't even consider it.
I have no clue what the writers think they're doing.

>>88426
Frankly I'd like it better if they just had midnighter say instead of that "two of a kind" thing

"Hey, do YOU know about any gay super singles bars?"

Since the existence of one of those would kill their entire reason for hooking up

>>88424
Alternative lantern related plot

Apollo gets a cat, Dex-star gets revenge for the punch in the face by being the fuzziest cockblock ever

>>88433
and backstory for those not familiar with why dex-star would want to cockblock midnighter

>>88426
So much of stormwatch could be done better. Stormwatch could have been so cool if they'd given them a better reason to be undercover and a more specific type of thing to fight.

Like say they specifically take care of extra-dimensional enemies that come calling, and they have to keep it a secret not because they think earth will care that they have superpowered protectors, but because their interactions with other dimensions have been basically "we roflestomp them and we don't have mercy when they're pulling this shit" which would cause a bit of an uproar, with people saying "wait no we should try peaceful relations" or "what if we go to those dimensions after you roflestomp them and take over?"

Then you have open tons of kinds of enemies but still plenty of reason to keep things secret.

And Midnighter tailing Apollo because he found out someone got powers the same way as him would have been much better.

> And Midnighter tailing Apollo because he found out someone got powers the same way as him would have been much better.

Seriously. Far less creepy, still makes sense.

>>88440
And it'd give them a reason to hang out together and do things and make their romance less instant (what was the point of not just starting with them dating if they're going to literally start dating the second they meet?)

it could have gone

"I've been watching you, you're like me"

"I uh..I didn't think anyone could tell..I haven't been trying to hide it exactly but-"

"I meant you got your powers form a Bendix experiment"

"Oh-oh I didn't mean to-"

"But good to know. If you wanna ask me to dinner after we discuss getting revenge on that bastard, I like seafood" with a wink maybe

There. Introductions done, reason for stalking explained, reason to continue hanging around each other explained, gayness and interest still established, dating can be shown after that

>>88440
I'm not even bothered by creepiness that much, it's more that Midnighter wants to team up with Apollo so desperately because he's hot and gay and there's really no reason for Apollo to suddenly be in love with him, aside from some sort of a Stockholm's syndrome from all the mental dryhumping Chinspike has been doing.
And that makes their GLORIOUS NEW BEGINNING OF A RELATIONSHIP kinda shallow and meaningless.
And how being gay is made into such a big deal, you don't have to keep to the shadows and stay away from the public that will surely hate you (baring the fact that many beloved public figures are gay, how would they even know?), you're gay not a fucking Frankenstein monster.

>>88444
Good points. I do hope the relationship can still be salvaged though. It's the only title featuring Midnighter and Apollo right now. :(

>>88445
The comic is making only a bit over 20 000 sales right now and Milligan seems to be taking retard pills so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Time to forget this ever happened and hope someday Wildstorm rises again.

Well, latest issue was ok, they seemed to have slowed down midnighter and apollo's relationship (although now midnighter is a closet case apparently?) and they explained the god awful chinspike and made fun of it

After this page, Midnighter went to his room to cry a bit about how Apollo doesn't like his fashion sense

I sure do love how their personalities are consistent and don't 100% revolve around their sexuality.

>>88463
Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to be the one to make a "Apollo rubbing Midnighter's spike" joke.

>>88465
Apparently rubbing it makes it shrink significantly.
A curious reaction.

>>88466
It's actually part of his face, filled with blood.

When apollo touches him the blood just rushes..southward.

>>88465
>>88467
Stand back I got this.

He has two hearts, a second, cleverly masqueraded dick is a definite possibility.
That explanation was nothing but lies.

>>88468
Yes. This is the explanation I'll go with. Yes.

>>88464
They get written better in freaking other titles where midnighter punches cats or kills villains

>>88464
To be fair, there was a writer change between those two events. And maybe the second is hoping that it's early enough to ignore the first few issues

>>88464
WTF. So first Midnighter's got the hots for Apollo and doesn't give a shit who knows it, but now he won't even acknowledge there's an "us" between them? Don't tell me it's just because Apollo freaked out about secrets in the previous issues?

>>88479
Well then he must be completely ignoring the inane relationship drama from the first 9 issues and substituting it with his own, even inaner one.
Because it's quite a step from "I have followed you around for a year so we can be together" to "eww, we're not a couple yet you perv".

I don't get either way they've been written, the constant shoehorned fretting about OMG WHAT IF PEOPLE FOUND OUT WE'RE GAY makes it read like bad fanfiction and it amounted to jackshit so far, only eaten up most their panel time and confused the hell out of readers when their opinions about it suddenly reversed.
It's like everybody's using them to try to show how hard it is to be in a gay relationship, plot and personalities be dammed.

>It's like everybody's using them to try to show how hard it is to be in a gay relationship, plot and personalities be dammed.

Interesting point. Warren Ellis wrote them to be in an understated but obviously stable, loving relationship. I wonder now if the 52 series is going the other way because the writers simply have no effing clue how to make Midnighter and Apollo interesting unless they inject soap opera drama.

>>88484
God forbid they used all those pages with them flirting, complaining and making fashion remarks to show them doing more interesting superhero stuff instead.
How would we know they're gay and interested in each other if they did?

Soap Opera is the best way to describe it, even their names sound like something from it.

>>88500
Now this is lovely to a point it makes even the Chinspike's costume look good.
A play on
>>80658?


Also it seems we're past the bump limit.
New thread?

Yes please.
