Mainly because he wasn't as swole as Batman is and didn't fit the "image" of a likeable hero.

Frank Tieri touched on that plot line back in Original Sin I think. I guess he really wants to write a story about Black Knight.

Black Knight is getting a solo book from Tieri/Pizzari. Will be set on Weirdworld. It will follow up on the addiction issues that Black Knight has had with the Ebony Blade as well.



Black Knight is one of the really underrated characters that I've wanted to get more of a spotlight and I'm glad they're giving it to him. Placing him on Weirdworld is going to be great as well.

I imagine since it's Tieri he'll be following up on all the stuff from New Excalibur and that story in Original Sins last year. Seems like this is probably a book he's been wanting to do for years.

Sure, Black Knight was more or less the main character (or at least the most popular character) in Avengers for a good part of the Stern and Harras eras, wasn't he? He was even the one they put on the Marvel 25th anniversary theme cover (sort of like Magik was in New Mutants).

I liked when Elric had a brief team-up with Conan in the old comics and Conan was like "You suck, everything you do and are sucks, you rely on magic for everything and it's made you a dumb slave to it, you're a loser." and Elric's comeback was basically "My magic is cool tho. :("

Yeah, they're total opposites. Conan is meant to be awesome and admired/projected upon, while Elric is...not.

Elric still wins though, because Conan had three terrible movies and one great comic, while Elric's had two great comics and two amazing Blue Oyster Cult songs, including what is no contest one of the best songs since the invention of sound.

Look man, I physically own volumes of Savage Sword. I love Conan(and Solomon Kane, too). We both know the other two were horseshit so I won't bother discussing them, but aside from the Crom prayer scene everyone quotes(rightfully, because it is genuinely badass), the original is very mediocre at best.

Should have been

adaption.

She's right about two of them, at least, though. Three if you count the Red Sonja movie that has Arnold in it as Conan with the serial numbers... not exactly filed off, but more lightly sanded.

Something to speculate on here: http://brianmichaelbendis.tumblr.com/post/125455528617/didnt-you-say-ultimate-kitty-would-show-up-in

Ultimate Kitty is going to be the new Star-Lord, with 616 Kitty being Peter's First Lady of Spartax? Or 616 Kitty isn't coming back post-Battleworld?

It would suck that she gets cool new cosmic powers and then doesn't get to use them, but perhaps Peter and Kitty will still be big parts of GotG? It's already pretty crowded, however, considering how well Bendis used the full team in the previous volume.

Because Bendis' contract says he has to write Star Lord, but he just wants to write his anime girlfriend, so by god, he'll make HER Starlord.

It's a cool name and costume. Kitty has never really been known for her costume or code name, so she can get away with adopting someone else's look for a while. Though I'm not sure if those guns can survive her phasing powers.

I'm doubting that they're going to bring over duplicates of the same character. That would be a little too confusing.

On the one hand, Bendis could be loving with us but he also added young versions of Cyclops, Iceman, Angel and Beast all hanging out with their present versions so an Ultimate Kitty that is in space all the time, wears the Star Lord mask, etc wouldn't really be that big of a problem especially if the Ultimate and 616 Kittys just never meet.

Surprisingly, I don't think so. Unless you count Daken and X-23.
