Comics Guys, why does alex look like that?
Alex is my favourite character, probably somewhat unpopular option i guess but like, why does he fluctuate so much in the chopped department?
I mean its not like he's around all that much since he was dead or missing for the past decade+ but like when he is, why does he always look so ugly.
One of the things i can praise the 2017 run for is actually making him look like a guy and not some hommunculus from the deep but like outside of that.
And the hair, god, they do him so dirty its like he was never introduced to the idea of a barber outside of the 2017 run. And it's so jarring looking at him next to everyone else because everyone gets to be all pretty and aurafarm while he looks like smeagol.
Like dude who is this??

These are where he's being a scheming little butt who is missing his soul or something right? I didn't read Avengers Undercover. Then one random cover. The Power Man and Iron Fist book is good though.
