Yeah, it's pretty pivotal to the character. How have you not read Kingdom Come? Go do that right now.

JL8 is so drat good. This is after she was feeling down in the dumps about Clark liking Diana and saw an article in Cosmo about getting boys to notice you.

For some reason Gail Simone decided to write in Scott Aukerman and Kulap Vilaysack of Comedy Bang Bang into Red Sonja.

Jerusalem posted:There's also a really touching one in the midst of the goofiness where Bruce and Clark walk home and Bruce has to walk on alone while Clark gleefully greets his loving adopted parents. He goes home to his giant, empty mansion and sits alone watching television... until Alfred shows up with treats and sits down and watches the show with him The best part of that is that they're watching the "Mad Bomber" episode of the Grey Ghost.

Yeah, I actually own that figure. Because Magog is a pretty awesome character with a pretty awesome character arc. Anyway, Deadpool: The Gauntlet #8. For those who aren't reading it (shame on you), it's a weekly digital miniseries about Dracula hiring Deadpool to find his bride-to-be and bring her to his castle. During the adventure, Dracula realizes that he no longer needs her for his plans, so he decides that he wants her dead. And so, he sends his crack team to take her out.         Marcus: Character Find of 2014!

Endless Mike posted:That was deliberate. Kingdom Come was one big commentary on how the 90s 'anti-heroes' were a bunch of violent dicks who were no better than criminals themselves, so they chose to make a character who was the embodiment of all that was horrible about the 90s.

Weird thing enough, so far DC had done nothing in regards to JL8 considering the way tumblr and comic fans fawn over it, meanwhile Marvel commissioned the dude to do a couple pages for it's Nova #100 special.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Very likely. Pretty much all of JL8 can be posted either here, the touching panels thread, or just the good art thread for the neat reimaginations of various DC characters as kids Anyway, unrelated: More from Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #10. Punisher got a flashbang set off in his face last issue while wearing night vision goggles, rendering him temporarily blind. Since Doc Ock wouldn't know humor if it bit him on the rear end, Daredevil fills in on Spider-Man joke duty.

I've heard that when Rob Liefeld found out his response was... to boast about how much money he'd made off Cable. Which is kinda tough to argue with, I guess.

But from what I've heard, he's apparently a fairly decent guy. And he was able to get Alan Moore to write one of his characters, which is pretty awesome.
