You know they could actually fit him in this. His company had access to the Mindless One as well. Plus the story already pulling characters who haven't been seen in years as villains.

I just realized something that really bothered me about this story is that Emma has her telepathy back when that's something she's not supposed to have post-AvX. DOPPELGANGER, SKRULL, or just Jason Aaron not bothering to keep up with X-titles? YOU DECIDE. (its the last one but it still just irks me)

(its the last one but it still just irks me) Yes, Jason Aaron has not been keeping up with the X-Titles, especially the "Phoenix Five lost control of their powers" subplot, which started a year before he left two major X-titles and was the main plotter of a crossover directly involving his titles and the title with that character, not to mention being one of the main plotters of the original story which led to her being in this condition.

Nah, it's pretty straightforward: New Red Skull has Chuck's brain grafted to his. They've always implied that Professor X has bits/all of Onslaught locked away in his head. New Skull doesn't have the control Professor X had, so..Redslaught? Onskull?

That moment Fury had with his flying car was amazing, and reminded me why I read comic books. Coincidentally, while waiting for the MTG Game Day tournament, I picked up the latest issue of Nova, having never read the title before, and thought it was a really sweet, touching story until I got to the end, and he was referring to his friend on the Moon. My heart crept up into my throat, and then I saw the last panel.

The story is pretty much just Nova and the Watcher, but even without being familiar with any of the back story you should be able to understand the dynamics of their relationship pretty well.

I'm really enjoying Original Sin so far, I like how drat goofy it is, and it's always great to see some Morrison characters doing stuff. It's hyped and the covers are so serious and it's got Deodato but at the same time it's really silly. I enjoy that blend a lot.

I realized I was confusing people because I was saying Dr Mobius, not Dr Midas. Also, big green bullets are kryptonite made for killing Superman. The killer is Lex Luther.

So Deadpool just confirmed that the eye exploded and just gave everyone in the area Watcher's memories. Also Avengers are going even further in time.

And Mighty Avengers tackled the question of "So what happened to the Watcher's wife and unborn child". And the coloring's good enough to make up for the Land art, too!

Land's art is consistently terrible and manages to be stale, static and without any redeeming factors besides 'there's lines, I guess' regardless of his subject. That he traces pornstars and other artist's work pretty much the only interesting thing about his current output.

Thanks for the stock Land speech, but he did alright on this latest issue. The Were Chickens, and the scene on the moon were much better than his usual output.

It is not as bad as when he was on Uncanny X-Men with Fraction; maybe he realizes he is a punchline or maybe it's the coloring, anyway, I enjoyed this issue of Mighty Avengers, the were chickens are amazing.

Blue Marvel is the Watcher's kid's godfather and blasting him with radiation because that's how you become a grown up Watcher. Also Ulana isn't that sad about Uatu's death because Watchers don't experience grief the same way humans do.

You know what struck me about Original Sin so far, about why it's good? Because the Tie-In makes sense. Like Tie In's to events are a tough thing to balance normally, particularly so when the main story is a mystery. You can't have the Tie In's further the mystery because there's a good chance that one of the writers will just cack-handily spoil the mystery, so normally they just aren't related to the story at all. (See the Identity Crisis tie ins where the Teen Titans decide to track down Lex Luthor's armour.) But OS figured out a way to have organic tie ins by focusing on the overall theme of long buried secrets coming to light. But the reason it's working for me is the secrets all feel like mysteries their books were going to deal with at some point (Cap's mind wipe, what happened to Sam's dad in Nova, where does Angela come from) or they are exploring themes that the books wanted to go with anyway (Tony re-examining his past, Bruce Banner's jealousy/feelings of inadequacy towards Tony, Dr. Bashire friendship with the Watcher,) So far, I'm really enjoying this event and I think the Tie In's are good. Plus I loved the speech that Ulana gave about how Utah was damned for doing too much and for doing too little. (and including Scott Lang was a nice dig too.) Oh one minor thing that I don't think anyone will bring up. In a Quasar story years ago, Watchers all started dropping dead from this mystery disease. It later turned out that the virus wasn't biological, it was a theory based disease. (Essentially the Watchers started realizing that the act of Watching changes an event. So by Watching they were interfering. As a result Watchers entered into a paradox loop and started killing themselves.) Quasar then made the argument that Watchers dying necessitated other beings intervening so that too was interfering. Since the Watchers were damned if they do and damned if they don't, they may as well Watch since there will always be SOME level of interference. At which point one of the dead Watchers stands up and basically says "the human raises a good point." and then the other Watchers just come back to life. Because for Cosmic beings like them, dead is more of a State of Mind then a permanent thing. I can't see the story ending like this, but it would be funny.
