So why were they "his children"? Also why does everything involving Wanda have to be so goddamn stupid?

Vision was Wanda's Smizmar.

What happens to Beast Boy's costume when he changes? In cartoons and what I've seen in comics it just seems like he goes from wearing his costume to naked animal.

Does anyone know why Kamandi only goes up to issue 27 on comiXology*? Kirby wrote the book up until issue 37 (and penciled a few after that), the second Omnibus collects up to issue 40, and it's not a natural stopping point for anything. *I mean, other than DC being DC, of course.

Here's a question that pooped into my mind today at the flea market when I saw a stack of Youngblood comic books for 4€ (the stack, not per issue): do people who grew up reading that stuff have some kind of attachment to it? Do people wax nostalgic over Rob Liefeld comics?

I'm told the Liefeldverse got pretty cool once they hired some good writers for it, like when they hired Alan Moore for Supreme and let him do all the things with it that DC's editors would never let him do with Superman. Maybe that's what people are nostalgic for, not Youngblood itself. Shaft from Youngblood was kind of a neat idea, though. "Green Arrow + Bullseye and he's also a government agent" seems like it might be a fun premise, even if he is a mash-up any 12-year-old could've come up with.

Liefeld was always a huge Teen Titans fan, right down to naming Deadpool/Wade Wilson after Deathstroke/Slade Wilson.

Metal Loaf posted:Wasn't Youngblood originally conceived as a Teen Titans pitch, too? "Liefeld merged his Titans ideas into a new creator-owned project, Youngblood, to be published by the newly founded Image Comics. According to Liefeld, "Shaft was intended to be Speedy. Vogue was a new Harlequin design, Combat was a Kh'undian warrior circa the Legion of Super-Heroes, ditto for Photon and Die Hard was a Star Labs android. I forgot who Chapel was supposed to be." Cougar and I think a couple other Youngblood characters also showed up in his New Mutants sketchbook things in either Marvel Age or some X-Annuals.

Has the Punisher ever been much of a detective? I'm reading The Punisher MAX*, and Frank's getting information is literally just sitting at the crime scene eavesdropping on the police. Not that I expect him to have a Batcave to do forensics in, but that's just lazy. *I swear, I have a love/hate relationship with the writings of Garth Ennis, but this is really good so far and I love The Punisher

But yeah, he's generally shown to be fairly sharp but favor the "torturing bad guys into giving him information" style of detective work. And yeah, Punisher MAX is outstanding. I think it might be Ennis' best work.

Punisher somehow having objective information about the people he shoots is a necessary contrivance for it to be possible to root for him ever. Sometimes he has sidekicks, sometimes he eavesdrops, sometimes he has "contacts", and sometimes he just knows.

I remember kind of liking Todd McFarlane poo poo back in The Incredible Hulk and The Amazing Spider-Man just because it was so different but... no, wait, he was never nearly as abysmal as Liefeld so I guess it isn't the same thing. (I've never read Spawn so I don't know about the stories though.)

Let's not forget that Shaft found the headquarters of the mafia by running into every Italian bar in the city and shouting "Where the gently caress is the headquarters of the mafia?!?". (In the book, I've never seen the movie.) Not all fictive detectives work solely by using their little grey cells. (And I never understood how you could do any detecting with your balls anyway )

As far as the pre-Image output of the original Image guys goes, I really like Valentino's run on GOTG (and it isn't nostalgia or anything, since it started the year before I was born).

I started working my way up to Infinity Gauntlet again and was thinking about different Death is in the Marvel U compared to Death in DC. Then, of course, I thought about the similarities between Thanos and Darkseid. So I was wondering: has Darkseid ever met Death?

If we're talking about Neil Gaiman's Death I imagine Darkseid would be singularly unimpressed.

The Black Racer is death for the new gods, Darksied was unimpressed when they met, after all what kind of embodiment of death lets life exist?
