Well, you can shoot people lots of places and they won't die if they get medical attention, and Sinestro's daughter is a surgeon.

Is she still around? I fell off the GL books after Brightest Day made it seem like like they'd be about all the other corps. I probably wouldn't have admitted it at the time, but there were pretty major diminishing returns on all the new characters.

The DCYou 8-pager had her struggling with her new yellow ring (it's super-easy to make big scary weapons, less good at medical tools, unless you focus on how scared you are of loving up and letting the patient die).

She got a yellow ring in the final page of the latest issue of Sinestro.

In regards to Baz carrying around a gun, I would like to remind people of one of the first N52 GL Corps arcs, where they fight a bunch of dudes who can't be harmed by their rings, so they bring in a bunch of earth guns and shoot the poo poo out of them. That's probably why I never really second guessed him carrying around a gun.

Every time they make the Green Lanterns more like the military and less like space police, they suck a little harder.

English Green Lanterns don't use rings and deaths by comically large glowing objects is a lot lower.

Yeah, but they still bow down to the Oan monarchy, even though it's basically just a figurehead anymore. Plus, they seem incapable of not saying the word oval office every other sentence.

I've recently been listening to a podcast going through the history of the X-men and so i'm wondering whether there's many podcasts that go through comic history, and I figured this is the best place to ask. I'm mostly interested in ones that go through some of the classic stuff or the more memorable events, rather than recent comics. So if anyone could list a few, i'd be interested in checking them out.

I'm not sure there's many that take the 'let's talk about why XYZ is good/bad and give context' that Rachel & Miles do (I assume that's the one you're listening to), there's a few that go issue by issue, like Tom Vs The Flash

Reading through Kelly's Deadpool for the first time. I just got through the Cable guest appearance. My question is does this Laiman Laiman and Zack (or whatever its called) bullshit actually go anywhere? I'm much more invested in Deadpool's wacky adventures, and his relationships with Al and Weasel. Even him struggling to be a hero. But LLZ is just a bunch of boring bullshit to me.

You mean Landau, Luckman & Lake? They're just hanging around for the moment, LLL becomes the primary sort of storyline later on in Kelly's run. Not particularly important to pay attention to what they're doing at this time, but around like issue #19 they become a "thing" for about 8 issues and subsequently disappear thereafter.

Something just occurred to me, aside from Strange, is there any evidence that any of the other Marvel "Doctors" (Reed, Stark, Doom, McCoy, Pym, Banner, probably another half dozen I'm forgetting) have MDs? or are they all PHDs? Because if not, they all be fronting to a certain degree.

I think in the issue of A+X with Tony and Hank they specifically refer to each other as "Doctor Stark" and "Doctor McCoy." Of course the that story was that Banner is smarter than both of them, so take that as you will. But seriously, Strange was a neurosurgeon before he hosed up his hands, whatever Xavier (who I'm pretty sure was a doctor of psychiatry, which would make him an MD, thus the only other "real doctor") could do with his mutant abilities, Strange used to be able to do with a bone-saw and a scalpel. Edit: Jennifer Walters has a JD, thus could technically refer to herself as a doctor, but she don't front like that.

In Steve Gerber's Defenders (Which everyone should read because it may be some of the best comics ever) the Red Guardian was also a neurosurgeon. She was so good Strange called her in from the USSR to perform an operation. Just. Just don't read anything involving her after Gerber's Defenders.

It would be a great story if Latveria U was actually a hugely prestigious school, just with a high student/faculty fatality rate, because DOOM has very high standards of teaching and a sharp enough grading curve you could literally shave with it.

Yeah, Doom is egotistical but it's usually justified. Even thinking he's the smartest man alive already, he'd totally staff his own university with the world's greatest educators and listen to recordings of their lectures while building his newest superweapon.

I know that Captain Britain has a PhD in physics but thankfully he doesn't call himself Doctor Braddock, or Doctor Britain. Edit: Thinking about it, Faiza Hussain, the Captain Britain of Secret Wars is a medical Doctor. Starsnostars fucked around with this message at 11:08 on Jun 29, 2015 |

CapnAndy posted:McCoy does medical stuff all the time and his speciality is mutation, sounds like he's got a MD to me, and I'm sure Reed took a lazy Sunday at some point to learn medicine. Dr. Reyes, does, however, have an MD. Wiki says Prof X has PhD's in genetics, biophysics, psychology, and anthropology, as well as an MD in psychiatry. And when did PhD's stop being "real" doctorate degrees? Calling a PhD "doctor" is a completely normal thing.

By the way he was ranting he was probably a top officer and got kicked off the force for something. Probably Loki-related. He also sounds like he knows something they don't.

Endless Mike posted:Beast has PhD's in biophysics and genetics. No MD. It's an ego thing some MDs have, though usually it more applies to thinking they're better than people with PhDs in humanities , not scientists. "Oh, you're a 'Doctor' of Greek literature, but that comes in handy if someone's appendix bursts on an airplane at 30,000 feet." I just thought it was funny.
