Well it's gotta be someone who can walk on the moon, and it doesn't look like they need a spacesuit to do it, so odds on an Asgardian are lookin' high.

No kidding. I figured that was a dumb addition, but I guess not.

It's a magic enchantment, so it just auto-adjusts to the reader, just like it can decide that Tony Stark driving Thor around in his car doesn't count as lifting Mjolnir, but if he tries to pick it up wearing armor that's a no-go.

Do we have any panels of Thor in a car? It just seems fundamentally goofy to me, like Spider-Man on the subway, or that panel of Like Cage in an elevator.

I hate how old artwork is sometimes just so unrealistic and hokey because in real life every one of those passengers would be giving the Avengers the finger in the last panel.

I like the panel immediately before that, because it's Iron Man going, "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE... er, on the corner outside."

Blame Henry Peter Gyrich for that one. He said no Avengers you can not save the world and we are not allowing you to use any of your stuff.

What is Gyrich's problem anyway? Does he just hate the Avengers or is he just an rear end in a top hat?

He was originally just the ultimate bureaucrat, and he doesn't like the idea that the fate of the world lies in the hands of entirely unsupervised entities. He loves paperwork, accountability, and red tape. Over the years they made him just hate superheroes in general and then be a corrupt, spiteful piece of poo poo, especially in Brubaker's Captain America and Dan Slott's abysmal The Initiative.

It strikes me as pretty contradictory to his character to have him break the rules he was introduced as loving, but he's an easy boogeyman since he essentially represents The Establishment.

You can get whiplash reading those issues, going from obnoxious government bureaucrat to guy who literally kills all of them.

I remember getting the Avengers Legends Vol. 2 trade (which reprinted the Korvac Saga) about 10 years ago, and my brother and I spent far too long trying to puzzle out the cover to Avengers #177. We were convinced the blonde guy was Korvac killing Hawkeye, and it took us ages to work out that it was meant to be Don Blake trying to recussitate him.

I love his work on New Frontier, it's universally gorgeous. The only issue I had was that with a cast of dozens it did get kind of difficult to tell who they all were unless they were in capes.

What's on your mind, Axa?
I've seen his stuff before, but I never realised just how much his stuff looks like the art in the Robin: Year One and Batgirl: Year One. I like that. Maybe a touch of Mignola in distance shots, especially in the JL:Dark cover. I really like that.

Also I think that's the best N52 Harley I've seen officially.

And probably best of all, it looks fun.

What's amusing about his artwork is that his stuff is so bright and vibrant that it almost makes you think you are going to read a happy optimistic comicbook.

Looked it up to confirm, but I definitely caught on that he was the animator/designer for the Batman and Batman Beyond series. Even outside of animation, it looks really amazing; very bright and energetic. And best of all, all of his women superheroes don't feel like creepy TA. The Parker graphic novels he illustrated look great, I'm gonna have to add it to my wish list.

And, uh, I knew of Krypto, but why in the hell is there a Super Horse and a Super Cat?
