Thirsty Thursday July 2019: A NO HUMANS Thirst Zone

By Allison Senecal — This is a “NO HUMANS” thirst zone this month (and possibly forever, let’s be real). All HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X, as well as some sweet sweet covers from the announced Dawn of X titles. A mutants-only VIP list, if you will. 

Enjoy!

More like master of my thirst.

Cypher might be a nerd, but he has never skipped leg day and that’s a fact. And Larraz’s Sage. *weeps*

The other thing Charles is growing here is thirst.

Some people seem to think this is plant!Scott, and maybe it is, but my thirst-senses tell me this is Vulcan, who, in case you missed it circa that Brooks cover, is super hot now. 

WARNING: this mutant mash-up recipe will yield an infinite serving of THIRST.

Marauders #1 cover
– This is gonna be the Hot Girl book, and you can not change my mind. Bishop is a hot girl now. FERAL KITTY. Excuse me, ma’am. Kate. Kate Pryde. ORORO OUT HERE KILLING US WITH THOSE CHEEKBONES. Emma’s GLOVES. Slap me, Mom. Yo ho ho,

Can someone prepare the high tea, because this British book is THIRSTY.

Excalibur #1 cover –
BETSY! SHE! Look at that Cap Britain design. Rogue, honey, your best look. THE RIOT GAYS, Rictor and Jubes, are even here! I’M SO PROUD OF EVERYONE except Apocalypse, but maybe the raw power of eroticism of Age of X-Man has carried over. 

I hope there are plenty of beverages on this space trip, because A. even mutants need water to live, and B. I AM THIRSTY.

Rod Reis
New Mutants #1 –
