Okay, so here's the patch for page 6...

Panel One, as before, including dialog.

Panel Two, Kitty gripes about being treated like some kind of school kid,

Panel Three: Scott reminds her that she has joined Professor Charles Xavier's SCHOOL for Gifted Youngsters.

Panel Four: Wolverine, still being a jerk, trips her, saying "Siddown squirt!"

Panel Five: Falling causes her to phase, automatically.

Panel Six: Same as before.

Cleaned up for today’s delicate sensibilities. I, however, was looking
forward to seeing Wolverine get his comeuppance.
The previous version put it in a place where I could understand why
Kitty would be jittery enough to phase accidentally through the floor of a
jet.
More beautiful art, though!

version?

I have to admit I don't get the objections to the first version.

Neither do I! But we live in an age where we have to second guess ourselves at every turn.

Well, when Marvel decides to publish this, I'll give them a choice.

I mean, IF.

Wolverine is a homicidal maniac that barely keeps himself in check but an attempted spanking is over the line?

Remember back in THE AVENGERS when Hawkeye finished up a battle with Deathbird by laying a big smooch on her? We received ONE (1) letter of complaint, calling him a rapist.

Today, I wonder......

That Avengers (#189) got me into the title. I thought it was a bit like Bugs Bunny kissing Elmer Fudd. :^)

I preferred the spanking version, but your new version totally works, too.  Wolverine is still to blame for Kitty falling out of the plane, so Colossus can still get really pissed at him.

This whole question of the modern take on sexualization in comics reminded me of a question I wanted to ask:

How did you guys get away with putting The White Queen and Jean Grey in such fetish wear in the Hellfire Club arc?

Was it your idea, Claremont's or both?

Did editors or CCA make you alter it?

Did you get complaints about it?

Was this not seen as so sexual back then because it wasn't really a popular fetish? (and fetishes, in general, were more of a personal/private thing back then)
