X-Men Legacy #21 pg 9 (Khoi Pham art and inks; Simon Spurrier story) Legion professes his love to Blindfold

Love on the Astral-Plane!

Another love story in the X Universe that is destined for heartbreak. This page comes from Simon Spurrier’s story arc on X-Men Legacy featuring Legion as he tries to gather his mind together so he can confront the Shadow demon that has taken the face of his deceased father Charles Xavier. Blindfold does what she can to help his fractured mind, knowing that ultimately if Legion gets too strong that they are destined to be enemies instead of lovers, that she may be the only force that can stop him.

In this beautifully drawn page from Khoi Pham, we see Legion professing his love to Blindfold. It’s told really well jus in seeing the art without the need for words. I really enjoy the way Legion is drawn in the astral plane, his head full of energy as an extension of all the powers/entities he keeps in his mind. Pham’s interpretation for world inside the mind of Legion is very well done and his design is superb. He comes across very hard edged and energetic, while Blindfold is very soft and contained. Blindfold has more and more become a really complex character and her fractured mind meeting with Legions really comes together for some interesting storytelling. They compliment each other so well that it’s destined for heartbreak in the drama that is X.
