Johnny Storm had a mini or some poo poo back in the 60s of him attending a normal high school and he acted like he had a secret ID. But I think that was eventually retconned.

CapnAndy posted:To an extent; there's absolutely nothing worthwhile about secret identities being kept from loved ones, and any good comic book made in at least the last 15 years knows it. This was pretty much the best thing about Man of Steel, Lois knowing right off the bat just feels so right and (I imagine) will make for such a better relationship dynamic at Clark's job when he's got a secret ID ally. It works so much better when loved ones and close friends are in the loop, both in plausibility and in cutting off the beyond-hackneyed plots you mentioned.

It's funny how despite Batman being the hero who is most about secrets, most modern interpretations just take Alfred knowing as a given. He doesn't even question it in Batman Begins. Obviously Alfred is going to know. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jun 14, 2014 |

That issue of USM with him telling MJ is one of the best comics ever. Bagley and Bendis both on top form. Her pouncing on him with the "you just hit the jackpot" line is amazing.

Lana Lang is a major character in Greg Pak's current run on Action Comics, who's known Clark's secret since childhood. They're a neat pair in the book. She actually participates in the adventuring.

Lana would give as good as she got, and rib Clark about thinking he could keep it from her and for them not getting together in high school.

Bendis also did a really good slow-build reveal for May. Her initial reaction of "Get the gently caress out of my house" was great. The deep conversation they had several issues later was also amazing. It also led to the introduction of Ultimate Spot. JMS, for all his faults, also did a great unmasking with May and Peter, her finding him beaten, bloodied, and in a torn costume after battling Morlun.

Did anyone else notice that the speech Matthew McConaughey gives at the end of true detective is almost totally lifted from the transporter accident issue of Top Ten?

Metal Loaf posted:Has anybody seen the article Chuck Dixon and Paul Rivoche wrote (I'm not very familiar with American newspapers, but I think it was the Wall Street Journal) where they're talking about how the conservatives need to take comics back from the liberals? Exactly same poo poo from five years ago. I am quite happy that Willinghams and Dixons are not prominent in Big Two comics at the moment, good riddance, no more embarassing crap like DC Universe Decisions.

Rhyno posted:Is the idea that you can hang out at a comic book/game shop for hours on end a widespread thing? I mean, I like most of my regulars but these two dudes have been here bothering me about YuGiOh for 6 loving hours. We don't even have open gaming today, they've just been standing at the counter talking about this poo poo since 2pm. (8:20 when I post). Rhyno does your shop have gaming tables set up? Even if its not a gaming night do you allow people to play? If you do I think its allowed just to hang because well I could bring a copy of Circus Maximus and play for a long time. So you think it is a place you can hang out at? No space like that....naw you can hang awhile but not like that.

We have a gaming room in the back but since we also store product back there we don't have open gaming, only scheduled events but we do those 4 days a week.

This may have been posted already but I didn't see it. And I know it's a BleedingCool link and all, but that was what was forwarded to me. Seems that something John Oliver said set off another Old Man Byrne race chat. I really wish Byrne would just not talk about this kind of thing ever again. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/06/17/john-byrne-the-fantastic-four-and-racebending-in-casting/

To steer it away from the icky, whenever Gambit comes up it's pretty funny. People talk about Dick Grayson being there for the gays and the ladies, but Gambit not only appeals to the ladies he INFURIATES a lot of guys. Especially comics writers.

I wonder if Reed and Bendis talked to each other about their replies beforehand, or if they just know each other so well that Reed could just trust BMB to sink the alley-oop.

I was recently told by a poster in this sub forum that my hatred of John Byrne was "loving creepy." gently caress YOU dude. He's a racist old piece of poo poo and my hatred is not creepy in the slightest. I hate him for being a racist pile of poo poo, it has nothing to do with his work or talent, it's about who he is as a human being. I wish he'd have a stroke and fall into a coma so we'd never have to hear what he has to say again.
