mind the walrus posted:He's not wrong. Brave and the Bold looks a lot like that Fischer Price Marvel series. I get that's kind-of the point, but hey it's not my nor everyone's flavor. I'm not entirely sure how Silver Age lifted into animation looks like Super Hero Squad's chibis but with big feet, but okay, you're entitled to your opinion.

Just to chime in real quick on the animation thing, I had the same issue with Brave & The Bold but was able to get into it despite that. Same thing with Spectacular Spider-Man. Both of them are worth watching even if you aren't into the animation style.

Heroes Reborn deleted it; it was mentioned in a two-issue feature in one of the early Avengers issues where Jarvis is answering mail. Basically Franklin Richards brought back the heroes as he remembered them, and so Hawkeye was no longer partially deaf, Tony Stark was no longer a teenager, the Wasp was no longer a hideous bug-abomination, et cetera.

There are times when being the Continuity Cop is a good thing. The trick is to know when it matters - like Buseik - and not to spend time fixing stupid poo poo that no one actually cares about - like Slott.

Kurt Busiek is a really good writer. He along with Grant Morrison, Joe Kelly and maybe in a blue moon Mark Waid are the only ones who should write Superman. He gets him. Paul Cornell should be on a New Gods book, his Darkseid was rockin as was his Luthor series.

I think some of it would have been better off going, "So what?" and moving on with their lives, but I won't begrudge him a back up story in an annual saying, "All this stupid out of place stuff is gone now."

Sure you haven't, Bruce  edit: Although now that I think about (why do I think about this?) I can totally buy that Bruce has never watched one of "those movies". He has his Rogue Gallery for release, after all. Grendels Dad fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Aug 2, 2014 |

Dario the Wop posted:FTFY Bruce Wayne: Thank heavens it was sent on Beta. Whoever sent this was clearly on my intelligence level, as we both have successfully predicted that Betamax will win the upcoming technological competition. There you have it folks. Batman, the Worlds Greatest Detective. But not so much when it comes to adoption of technology. The scene where Batman has to spend thousands getting rid of his Batman HD-DVD drives and replacing them with Blu-Ray drives is pretty grim. Edit: On second viewing, the cassette being put into the machine is clearly a VHS tape and not a Betamax one. As can be seen here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax The Worlds Greatest Detective ladies and gentlemen. The Question IRL fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Aug 2, 2014 |

Previously in the X-Men arc Curse of the Mutants, book 10 (Smoke and Blood Pt 1): Dracula having been assassinated by conspirators within the vampire sects, it is now time for the bloodsuckers to rule the world. Starting in San Francisco, where a depowered Jubilee is infected and turns. As the undead gain power, and even the X-Men's vaunted Utopia science labs are infested, Doctor Nemesis contacts Emma Frost with a message of dire import... tl;dr "The Adventures of Doctor Nemesis" needs to be the backup feature for the Rockslide/Anole "X-Cops" series. Even more previously in X-Men Emperor Vulcan Pt 1: The Shi'Ar Empire, having been taken over by rogue omega-level mutant (and third Summers brother (motherfucking n-dimensional family tree when you add in the Greys and we haven't even gotten to the time-travelling original ones yet)) Gabriel, aka Vulcan, is wracked by civil war. Meanwhile Rachel Grey, temporally-displaced Phoenix host from Earth-811s "Days Of Future Past" dystopia (n+1 dimensional diagram just on her mother's side), focuses on weightier issues...  tl;dr drat. Now *I* want a cheeseburger. Edit: why not some more. From the Iceman and Angel one-shot (2011) (click for big):   Ygolonac fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Aug 3, 2014 |
