Loki's fine. Original Sin: Thor & Loki is literally the second arc of Loki.

Thor & Loki's been OK, but I'd really prefer we just get back to Loki. Though I did like seeing the I am the crime that shall not be forgiven! thing in this art style. :allears:

Question about Thor & Loki 3: What the gently caress does "shall I be mother?" mean?

I love Starlin and all but Infinity Revelation was a big kick in the nuts. It should have been called "Thanos and Adam Warlock kick back and smoke a joint".

Other thoughts:
Hawkeye made me cry
Rocket Raccoon made me laugh
New Avengers made me want to slap the poo poo out of Reed Richards.

The "crime that shall not be forgiven" thing is getting real close to "red on my ledger".
Shall I be mother is british slang for basically asking "want me to pour / serve food?".

I'm not quiiiiite at that point yet. I dunno, screaming kid Loki remains hilarious to me. Even though I'm pretty sure it's not intended as funny. So, there's that.

And that's ... okay. That's weird slang, but sure. It felt like it was supposed to be important somehow, but ... :psyduck: Thanks for the explanation.

In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.
It's a shame Moore left with the end of issue 5. Damion Scott's the new regular artist but I have no clue how his art looks nowadays.

ANGR is loving great if you want a comic about dudes getting wrecked though. It's like Final Fight or Streets of Rage in comic book form.

Here's a curious piece of trivia: when he was starting out in comics, Mark Millar wrote a strip adapting Streets of Rage adaptation in Sonic the Comic, which ends when with one of the heroes kicking the bad guy into a nearby vat of molten iron.

Picked up the Hawkeye hardcover today for 15 bucks on clearance at a Booksamillion. There were three of them sitting there and that's a deep-rear end discount.

It's a British thing. Our slang is weird. But 'Mother' was also the big bad in Young Avengers, Loki's previous series. It may be relevant or it might just be a coincidence.

I don't think a Hawkeye movie could work, but I do think Hawkeye starring in a Thunderbolts movie can. They just need to introduce the villains across the various movies, like low-profile versions of the Infinity Stones.

Marvel's preview for Brian Wood's Moon Knight after Ellis' in #6 is one of the saddest things I've seen in a comic book. First, because it's awful. Second, because Marvel has this really strange sentence where they say something to the effect of,

"Hey, we know the writer and artist are leaving, but if it was bad, would the colorist be sticking around?!?! BECAUSE HE IS!"

Jordie Bellaire is the colorist, and she's not a he. She also does about a million books, and they tend to be good, but picking up all her stuff is a way to go broke quick.

I don't know if I'd even go that far. If you're going to use the classic lineup, then it could be as easy as the Dirty Dozen thing: SHIELD agent Clint Barton is partnered with rookie Hallie Takahama to do a particularly unpleasant job, which will require an expendable crew. Enter Chitauri tech dealer and general rear end in a top hat Norbert Ebersol, Tony Stark detractor Abe Jenkins and his surprisingly effective homebrew armor, criminal and criminal psychologist Karla Sofen, and small-time con artist turned super-powered bank robber Melissa Gold.

The more I think about this the more it'd be a really big-budget episode of "Leverage."

I would love to see a Thunderbolts movie. We can have Hawkeye as the team leader, in charge of keeping them straight and we already have Crossbones from Winter Soldier and the Abomination/the Leader from Hulk and we can bring some new minor villains (MACH, Songbird and Moonstone would be great)

Also, as good as Bellaire is (and she is very good), the colorist is hardly the main hook for the book; what I saw of the art wasn't that impressing and I've been dissapointed by Brian Wood's writing before.
