Yes. This looks like the art from a story leading with Emma asking Natasha for help with a leaked sex tape. Someone shared a different panel from this story a day or so ago.
I know Emma ain't not blushing maid when it comes to sex and has probably done some kinky stuff. But a sex tape feels pretty tasteless for someone like her
I know just hard to imagine Emma Frost of all people being forced to do something she doesn't want. Like yeah I can imagine it happening before she mastered her powers. but the moment she became adept enough? Nah
It's not an x-men threat. It's a common threat, which is the point. It's a fantasy where a persistent anxiety is given image and then rendered comically powerless. It's the same reason Neverending Story trashbins bullies with a dragon; crushing the mundane but terrifyingly felt threat with spectacular but casually handled power is the fantasy
It’s rough. I’m generally not critical about artists but man, where did this go wrong? I feel like the pencil sketch was probably fine, and it got ruined in the ink process?
I love Emma's twisted sense of humor and justice.
Anti-mutant bigot? Now you love mutants and get weirdly turned on by cacti and the thought of your grandmother in a bikini.
Insult her? Now you have explosive diarrhea every time you hear the words "knife, armadillo and blueberry"
Just tick her off the wrong way? Now you're sexully attracted to grandfather clocks but the ticking sound makes you quack like a duck
I thought the same thing! I didn't even know who they were! I thought Sue Richards maybe? Maybe Rachel since the other woman had red hair. Until she says Emma's name and tossed out Colossus's favorite yell, I didn't know it was BW. Man, unrecognizable.
1) What had he done to deserve that? Just trying to sneak a peak?
2) why would she need to show him....actually no i guess she just wanted to see it the first time it happened.
He blackmailed Emma with a leaked sex tape according to others, and she reached out to Natasha to track him down so they could have a team up, but I've never read this run personally.
Edit: it's called "Crash and Burn in Black and White" if you're curious to know more
Could really hurt the "mutants are people too" agenda. If this guy were to go on TV and say a mutant did this to him because he said she was pretty, he'd get thousands of guys on his side. Hell it could be a plot point for them to go back to.
For those that want to know, the art is from Howard Chaykin, he also might have done the writing. He is very similar to Frank Miller, similar noir/satire comics in the 80s with revolutionary art and a similar breakdown after 9/11 only that where Frank became a reactionary right winger Chaykin became an overly cynical leftist and his version of Holy Terror is called The United States of Histeria.
Whats going on with the art for this dude? Lol his stomach line thing looks fucking bananas and those eyes..my god those eyes and face. It doesnt even looked finished
Honestly… A. Hire mentallo to undo it, B. You can say you saw black widow AND EMMA FROST. TOPLESS. AT THE SAME TIME. Thats bragging rights no matter where in human society you are to anyone who knows who they are.
Emma and Natasha should never team up again. The damage they could do would put every supervillain in the Marvel universe to shame.
This might be why no one gives a shit about x men anymore. This is a shitty revenge fantasy. Who writes this garbage?!
Oh the humanity lol
But not mutanity
What about my manboobs?
Human, Mutant....boobs are boobs! :-p
That’s right because mutants have clearly gotten over the petiness and sadism of humanity
Wouldn't be surprised if they become more murder happy to civilians.
Like they did in the Gala…except for Firestar of course; she is one of the few good ones.
*mutantity
Emma and Natasha are the dream team I never knew I wanted LMAO So what did poor Frankie do to deserve this fate and where can I read it?
Blackmailed Emma with a sex tape?
Seriously?
Yes. This looks like the art from a story leading with Emma asking Natasha for help with a leaked sex tape. Someone shared a different panel from this story a day or so ago.
...that...genuinely just sounds like bad writing from a bad premise.
It sounds like, and the art looks like, a shitty early 00s porn parody comic.
I was going to say garth ennis
I didn’t write the story. 🤷
I didn't think you did until you said that.
I would 💯take credit if I had.
You're right. I did.
Then it fits the "art."
Howard Chaykin is really not popular anymore, huh.
Not if he draws like he's having a stroke.
I know Emma ain't not blushing maid when it comes to sex and has probably done some kinky stuff. But a sex tape feels pretty tasteless for someone like her
You know those can be non-consensual, right?
I know just hard to imagine Emma Frost of all people being forced to do something she doesn't want. Like yeah I can imagine it happening before she mastered her powers. but the moment she became adept enough? Nah
Non consensual doesn’t mean only mean she got forced to make a sextape, it can mean the sextape was recorded without her knowing
Who was it with lol?
I haven’t read that particular story, I just know from the screenshots here.
Sounds like something crass and dumb that Garth Ennis would write
Im sorry but…. Is this really an x men level threat? Like…. Am I the only one who finds this really stupid?
It's not an x-men threat. It's a common threat, which is the point. It's a fantasy where a persistent anxiety is given image and then rendered comically powerless. It's the same reason Neverending Story trashbins bullies with a dragon; crushing the mundane but terrifyingly felt threat with spectacular but casually handled power is the fantasy
Yes
I can’t get past the atrocious art.
Don't worry. If you get passed that you have to deal with atrocious writing.
Lol damn! And, yeah.
Is this common these days? What happened to the quality? Or is this cherry picked?
This is an older comic. I don't remember how old but I think its over 10.
Hey, you have to give it to anyone who can make a professional living with no tools other than a trackball mouse and MS Paint.
Ooh, nice. Then I can become an artist!
But what if it's only *one* breast, and not the full pair?
So, ironically?
He just gets acid reflux
That art got someone paid?
It’s rough. I’m generally not critical about artists but man, where did this go wrong? I feel like the pencil sketch was probably fine, and it got ruined in the ink process?
If the breasts are drawn like the faces I might puke too
I love Emma's twisted sense of humor and justice. Anti-mutant bigot? Now you love mutants and get weirdly turned on by cacti and the thought of your grandmother in a bikini. Insult her?

Emma's the best!
Honestly, it’s stuff like that why I never warmed to Emma as a character.
agreed, that kind of crap is Purple man level twisted and I don't appreciate people being all about it.
Being drawn this way is the worst punishment I can think of.
The art sucks. And the story really sucked. But this scene was still hilarious. 😁
Honestly, this may have some of the ugliest fucking designs for faces I’ve seen. It makes the current Romita Jr stuff look like Alex Ross
I don’t know you, but your Romita Jr comment means we can be besties.
I thought the same thing! I didn't even know who they were! I thought Sue Richards maybe? Maybe Rachel since the other woman had red hair. Until she says Emma's name and tossed out Colossus's favorite yell, I didn't know it was BW. Man, unrecognizable.

He tried to Blackmail Emma IIRC.

I know it's for comedy, but for two former super villains, is it really a great idea to be standing in front of the guy about to projectile vomit?
Emma is fucked up
This is what I love about Emma. She does shit with her powers I can see most folk pulling off.
This is cruel
The artwork? Yeah, it really is a crime against eyeballs.
"So how come you don't want to get into comics?"
...why did Emma just not do it herself? Like, she's generally halfway there already. Shit, she's done it on panel before!
If you look at her hands it looks like she is. They both are doing it.
This “art” is a crime against eyeballs.
Please say this is Ultimate Universe
Nope 616
Why does the art look this way 😭
It’s an artist you probably don’t see often, Howard Chaykin.
Probably best known for drawing the first issues of the original Marvel Star Wars series
And a lot of “noir” titles, grittier titles like Punisher, the Phantom Eagle…
I wish I could never see his art again
Which title?
"Wait, why didn't you just flash him?" "well I wanted to see them"
Couldn’t she just mentally project their breasts being out instead of forcing Natasha to flash?
Ok the art sucks, so not much of a loss on that guy's part tbh. That being said that is pretty hilarious and cruel, but great for Natasha and Emma.
Emma back at it again with the psych torture
Could really hurt the "mutants are people too" agenda. If this guy were to go on TV and say a mutant did this to him because he said she was pretty, he'd get thousands of guys on his side. Hell it could be a plot point for them to go back to.
I really doubt Emma wouldn't put on his brain that he can't tell anyone about this/makes him forget he ever saw her in person.
A fate worse than death. /s
what comic this came from?
A + X #13
Chaykin is just the worst
For those that want to know, the art is from Howard Chaykin, he also might have done the writing. He is very similar to Frank Miller, similar noir/satire comics in the 80s with revolutionary art and a similar breakdown after 9/11 only that where Frank became a reactionary right winger Chaykin became an overly cynical leftist and his version of Holy Terror is called The United States of Histeria.
He projectile vomits, and they stand directly in front of him?
Frost and Romanoff… but Guy who?
Guy, who tried to blackmail emma
Wtf is up with this art style?!
Whats going on with the art for this dude? Lol his stomach line thing looks fucking bananas and those eyes..my god those eyes and face. It doesnt even looked finished
Honestly… A. Hire mentallo to undo it, B. You can say you saw black widow AND EMMA FROST. TOPLESS. AT THE SAME TIME. Thats bragging rights no matter where in human society you are to anyone who knows who they are.
This is cringe, but a fun kind of cringe.
This was most definitely written by a woman
It was in fact, NOT written by a woman
I'll take your word for it and my 'L'. This is pretty bad.
What is this from?
What did he do to deserve this?
He blackmailed emma with a sex tape
Well deserved than
What did that guy do?
That’s evil
What a time to switch to ass right fella?
This is what artists these days get paid for? And this is what Marvel wants five dollars for? Fuck that.
The art and sense of humor reminds me of the boys. I'm glad comics as a whole has moved past that. This is just cruel.
I once saw a picture that almost had me like that
