    Oh I see, it's not the original Get Mystique, it's a follow up of some kind called Get Mystique: Final Repose.

    Looks like it's collected in the Wolverine vs. The X-Men trade, which I haven't read yet.

    Yeah, it's from the trade where Cyclops is optic blasting Wolverine on the cover.

    Yes. There is solid science behind a man shooting a gun through the Earth and killing a man on the other side.

    The explanation is: He has a special gun that can shoot through the Earth.

    Wait, why didn't he do that like ten miles away or whatever? Why bother shooting the dude from the other side of Earth, other than cool factor? Seems like a lot more could go wrong at that distance.

    who the hell would look for a sniper on the other side of the earth? it's much less conspicuous

    Because assassinating a guy in China by shooting a bullet into the Earth in Argentina is incredible

    If you try to analyze it beyond that you're missing the point

    why would you bring logic into such a thing as shooting someone on the other side of the earth, THROUGH the earth!

    it's more precise to shoot one guy in the back than potentially shooting through a ton of bystanders in the ten miles between you and the guy

    ....no. No no no no no. If some bushes and a couple building are a problem for you then nearly TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND miles of earth, including the core are a much larger problem. Really there are so many reasons why it's bad, horrible, not good idea and that's the whole point! It's bitching. It's rad. It's a fucking over the top awesome comic moment.

    Thinking about it is missing the point.

    I meant more along the lines of...

    gun from the future? Magic gun? Something like that, a superpower maybe?

    plus it's pretty obvious that the bullet is being transported via boom tube.

    Ever since someone mentioned it a while back it's been sticking with me so I dug it out, excellent scene from X-Men Legacy, ( I don't think it's spoilery at all without context, but spoilering it anyway)

    Today I bring you guys a great moment from Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. From issue #50, with art by John Totleben, this is the deaths of Sargon the Sorcerer and Giovanni Zatara.

    A group organized by John Constantine consisting of Zatanna, Mento, Sargon the Sorcerer, and Zatara has gathered at the home of Baron Winters to try and assist Swamp Thing, who has traveled to the edge of Hell in order to try and oppose a being known only as the Great Evil Beast. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be able to do much against the entity. It first sets its sights on Sargon:

    Later, Zatanna attracts the Beast's attention. Thinking quickly, Zatara casts one last spell.
