Require More Fire posted:I'm more amused by that Wolverine/Sabertooth page because out out context it appears that Sabertooth just decided to gently caress with Logan in the most horrifying way possible, and then jetpack off giggling about it. Speaking as somebody who has read the issue, let me make your day by telling you that that is pretty much how it goes down. It's basically just there near the end of the issue to say "Oh hey, Sabertooth's back!" with no additional reason.

Cornwind Evil posted:Cloning, apparently. What really makes this jarring is that said second magic sword was supposedly to destroy souls, so Victor Creed should Clearly Most Sincerely Dead. I guess if you clone someone, you not only create a new soul, but keep all the clonee's memories? Comic books! If you're a main nemesis, it doesn't matter how hard one set of writers try to get rid of you, the next person who wants to use you will bring you back, by hook or by crook. Maybe the clone's the one that got double beheaded?

Elfface posted:Identical twin gets a paternity test back? No, that's still a creepy way to tell the kids... Members of Cobra's elite Crimson Guard, who typically live ordinary lives making money and resources for them to funnel into Cobra, often get placed into a "series," where they get plastic surgery to make themselves look identical. On occasion, when one of them is killed, they are replaced by someone in the same series. That page shows what happens when Fred Brooks - who is one of the Fred series - is replaced by a different (yet identical) Fred. Yep. The kids have almost certainly been raised with Cobra ideology as a central part of their lives, so they're not going to argue.

During the Cobra Civil War Serpentor is inspecting the troops still loyal to him. He's told he still has Dr. Mindbender and his robots the BATS, and Tomax and Xomat's Elite Crimson Guard. To this he says "In other words, I command a legion of the nameless and the soulless!"

Telling you, Hama's first few years on GI Joe were fantastic. And, er, greatly unsettling, in a good way. The Cobra Island story ends with a delicious comment from a gleeful Cobra Commander while the good guys are walking away with their tail between their legs: "What a great system! If you have enough money and you can hire the best lawyers, you can do anything you want!"

Even in the original TV show there was a lot of stuff that looking back now is surprising. Like how long Tomax and Xamot kept their hands clean in the public, working as legitimate business men on behalf of Cobra, mostly as accountants. (And I recall an episode where they literally gave Cobra Commander a bill for services rendered!)

Or is it Sputnik posted:Everyone is acting as if Wolverine wouldn't charge in the general direction he knew Sabretooth is in. I think that's why Sabertooth cunningly chose "up." He knows Wolvie can track him based on scent over land pretty easy. But from 50 feet up?

That's super cute  . Tombstone is right to send her out on her rear end if she's serious, and she's right that he's a being a bit sexist by scoffing reflexively.

Schneider Heim posted:From Superior Foes of Spider-Man #7. Janice wants to be a super-villain, but daddy Tombstone doesn't approve... It's always nice when someone does their research. Except for the hue being off (but that's stylistic), that's exactly the Columbia Law School regalia and that's recognizably Sylvia's exterior, interior and how they set the table and plate the food. I love it when MarvelNYC leverages being NYC. I love that old map from the '80's (and apparently a slightly updated one from slightly later?) Not really "funny" unless you're me and think the angle on the arrow to Inwood being off is funny.

Senior Woodchuck posted:If her mother was Dominican, and Tombstone was black before he got the Red Hood Special that gave him his powers, why is Janice white? Yeah, that was my first thought too. And yeah, Tombstone was always an albino, except in the old 90s Spiderman cartoon, where his super-powers and albinism were caused by the same thing. But cartoon Tombstone also didn't breathe, so he was more like a zombie dude.
