Ultimate X-Men #23 pg 5 - Blob catfishing Beast (Kaare Andrews art, Rusty Beach inks for Mark Millar story)

Blob catfishing Beast and Prosimian watching nature porn, wow!

I really enjoyed this twisted run on an alternate X-Men world. This issue features The Blob posing as Naomi to get intel from Beast, ultimately finding out that Magneto didn’t perish but was brainwashed by Prox X to live a life away from mutant tyranny.

Kaare Andrew’s really fun art with Rusty Beach’s inks played really well for this chapter in Mark Millar’s Ultimate X-Men.

The framing and composition is very cinematic. This page sets up a pun and has a great payoff all on the same page. As a single page it stands alone and is very exaggerated in it’s spoofy nature. The Blob is extra plump in underwear and works perfectly for a catfishing character that Beast is drawn too. I also really enjoy the chat and bickering between Prosimian and The Blob. The intense looks from Prosimian and cartoon-like appearance of The Blob are done really well and a fun piece to add to my X collection.
