Your Weekend Moment of Nosebleed Zen: Nate Grey
March 31st, 2007
When Cable encounters his other-dimensional counterpart Nate Grey in Cable #30, the younger — and supposedly more powerful telepath — gets the worst of it. The erstwhile “X-Man” ends up with a psychic nosebleed as well as the less common ear bleed.

We also get treated to this bizarre nosebleed scene which seems to defy the very laws of time (or at least gravity):

Wrong! As you can plainly see, the patient is actually suffering from the far more common “Psychic Hipsterism.” Symptoms include: incredibly elaborate haircut and dyed tips; no pupils; excessively prominent cheek-bones; sideburns. In women: a bust/waist ratio in excess of 4/1.
Unfortunately as of today there is no cure for this pernicious GNS (graphic Novel Syndrome).

I used to be a comic book reader as a kid, but didn’t really look into flaws of the comics. You’re pretty good questioning some of the images and story integration. I like that. I didn’t notice it when I read the comics – not until I read your comments. Gotta keep comic book authors honest.
