Thirsty Thursday May: Midgard is the Thirstiest Realm

By Allison Senecal — Welcome to a “Mostly War of the Realms But Hey Other Stuff Still Exists” Thirsty Thursday! Also, a sign from the X-Men gods that Polaris and Havok made this column, but separately, in the same month.

Enjoy!

I didn’t even know what to highlight here. The entire event has been a feast for the senses. Dauterman is one of my favorite Thor artists and I won’t even show you Thor himself for this one, because Odin and Freyja were thirst personified in issue 4. Looks like they still got it.

SIR MURDOCK. LORD DAREDEVIL. THE GOD WITHOUT FEAR. LORD OF THE ALL-POWERFUL GLUTES. That last one is not in the comic, but it’s real.

LORNA!!!! I am just in love with this art team. I can not stress enough how juicy and vibrant everyone looks in this series. But this is such a powerful Polaris. I’d give a kidney to see them get a shot at another book featuring her. SHE!

I feel I have to mention the cat people? For the furries out there, I got you! But also just more gorgeous fantasy ladies with edgy haircuts out here kicking my ass.

How could I run a thirst column and not include the most high-profile current erotic comic??? I don’t think I’m even allowed to show you the Tula Lotay variant.
