OMG, I just looked up her books. The covers are so tawdry that I am dying to read them. I'm now excited about NYX, however that pet-killing, blood drinking, mutant, Catiana, or whatever her name is, still has got to go!

Her power is pretty stupid. What is she gonna do, carry vials of animal blood around her neck to activate her powers? LAME.

Or practice animal abuse every issue, which angers the PETA in me.

Come now, she's no Lois London but Tatiana was still great.

The Iron Hunt

Demon hunter Maxine Kiss wears her armor as tattoos, which unwind from her body to take on forms of their own at night. They stand between her and her enemies, just as Maxine stands between humanity and the demons breaking out from behind the prison veils. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment - and one man - changes everything.


Sounds like NYX will be nothing short of some kind'a interesting.

It makes her sound like a Jeffrey Dahmer in the making.

Collecting her victims. Gross.

[timbox]

I am excited about this!

[Waterlily]

Collecting her victims. Gross.

Practical.

You never know when you're going to be chased by an angry mob. If you had an angry mob after you, would you spare the kitty?

[Cruelly_Innocent]

I think she is a grea character...but she would be much better if she could turn into animals without kill them..only touching them..that would make the cover from 2 post above me more cool...with her friends rather then future victims :wink:

[timbox]

I'd eat a cat to escape angry mobs. No question.

Catiana might just get her "red wings" from somebody's housepet, and go from there. Why's it always have to be so violent? :biggrin:

Frankly, the pet-killing mutie has piqued my interest!

I hope Liu takes this down the tawdry x100 road. If not, it's gonna be a total snore.

[Bingo!]

Does anyone have a scan of Catiana's powers in use?

[jester1436]

Thank you Ben Morse. <3

[Victorious]

maybe she'll learn to became any animal that she had previously became. if she already touched cat blood and became one, maybe she can became that animal whenever she wants to, and don't need to touch cat blood again.
plus, she doesn't need to kill the animal, just touch it's blood. when she became a dog, she doesn't hurt the dog, she save him from dying. she loves animals! that the interesting aspect about her powers, she loves animals and she need to touch animal blood to use them. i think is pretty intesresting.

They don't show her killing the cat, but it it strongly implied.

[darknessatnoon]

What a rancid character.

[Waterlily]

What a rancid character.

They can't all be classy.

[Cruelly_Innocent]

OMG! Asking for images of Animal Abuse..what's next? children??..there's a mutant who get the powers of potential mutants babies by drinking their blood!

:wink:

OMG x2 showing images of Implied Animal Abuse..how dare you

:wink: :wink:


Now ...truly..I find her too grotesque when transformed.
I would like it more if she remained slender.....I Love Catiana..but preferably in human form

Marjorie is a phenomenal author I think. Have any of you read her X-Men novel? I couldn't put it down! I read the thing in a day and half because I couldn't stop reading it.
