By Mike Deodato, the wonderful... Moonstone! a faked Miss Marvel from the terrible Thunderbolts, and who became a Dark Avengers of Norman Osborn, leading team with clever mind. I love Moonstone (Miss Marvel is always my favorite sexy super hero), she's not clearly a villain, nor a heroin, but she like to create intricate webs of intrigues around her, with powerful personalities she can seduce and control... Great woman!

Dark Wolverine #76
- Story by Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu, Art byGiuseppe Camuncoli, honestly I love this new Wolverine, with anger in his veins and a clever nasty mind! Giuseppe Camuncoli does fantastic work. His art has always leant itself to characters looking more evil and twisted than others draw them, and that highlights the writing here. If everyone looks like they’ve got an agenda, that’s only because they all do. Camo’s action scenes are also top notch as Daken goes up against the Thing, a pairing that isn’t quite as mismatched as it would appear.
Am I a little Exhibitionist... ???... ???

For you, virtual people, just appreciate, or not, a girl who like to be naked, provoking and sometime, nasty. It's not just who I show you here, believe me.
Mount Fortress, Macau
Mount Fortress built in 1626 stands on top of Mount Hill, which rises 52 metres above sea level. The fortress covers an area of 10,000 square metres, in the shape of a trapezoid. The four corners of the fortress protrude to form bulwarks. The north-eastern, south-eastern and south-western walls are built on 3.7 metre wide granite bases. The walls, 9 metres high narrowing upwards to 2.7 metres wide at the top, are made of solid rammed earth, further strengthened by a thick stucco of ground oyster shells. The parapet sections were crenulated for the installation of 32 cannons and the two corners of the south-east wall have watchtowers.
Ruins of St Paul, Macau.
The Ruins of St. Paul's refer to the façade of what was originally the Church of Mater Dei built in 1602-1640. The façade is reached by a flight of 68 granite steps from the square below (Largo da Companhia dos Jesu?as). The façade of the Ruins of St. Paul's is 28 metres wide and 38.5 metres high and is divided into four levels and a pediment. Following the classical concept of divine ascension, the orders on each horizontal level evolve from Ionic, Corinthian and Composite, from the base upward.
The two higher levels gradually narrow into a triangular pediment at the top, which symbolizes the ultimate state of divine ascension ? the Holy Spirit. The façade is Mannerist in style carrying some distinctively Oriental decorative motifs, including the use of Chinese characters and round chrysanthemum patterns typical of Japanese artistic representations.
