Well, they're doing a show the Saturday night of NYCC a few blocks away if you're going to that.

No, you're thinking of Finn Balor.



But I probably will be cosplaying as Pentagon Jr. that night, so the color scheme will remain the same.

I think that was Clint Barton. When Tony Stark is trying to get him to be Cap, he mentions something about people losing hands and heads trying to catch it.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Thinking about Cap's shield seems like a terrible idea. I mean, if it absorbs kinetic energy, it shouldn't bounce off things like a pinball either, right? In fact, if it absorbs kinetic energy, shouldn't it also just resist any attempt to move it at all? Shouldn't it just be hanging immobile in space in the location it was originally created? :psyduck:

But sometimes it doesn't bounce and is instead embedded (destroying the computer, saving the world, etc).

You're right about thinking about Cap's shield though - it's a one-way ticket to a brain aneurysm.

No, Claremont made it such that there's a right and a wrong choice. It was later decided that those who made the wrong choice get super powers anyway.

Don't forget the part where Lionheart isn't told what the choices represent (by Braddock, of all people, who had the choices clearly laid out to him).

If you use that reasoning wouldn't it actually (appear to) rocket off in a straight line since it would be staying put and the Earth would be moving away from it?

Looks like it carries the kinetic energy and it transfers it into the next solid object it touches. Like normal, only the shield doesn't blow up like a card would.

I'm almost sure that Lionheart herself complains about this when she's told what the answer is. Like she says "My family were in danger. Of course I'm going to chose the Sword, to protect them."

Meanwhile Brian Braddock is just like that Kevin Prenders Sonic comic where Tails asks the godlike head a question, it's silent and then vanishes.

Sue gets tarted up:



Skrulls happen. Reed/Sue start bickering... again...



FF has a run-in with The New FF/Defenders:



They all get yanked up to The Watcher's Citadel in The Blue Area of the Moon:



Again in Pencil:



The big reveal of Ben's face.



Ben gets his mask on.



Check out this sick 2099 reference, bro.



Super-Vests and Super-Guns, care of Reed Richards/



Then, Black Bolt does his thing.

And the next page. (Badass Sound Effects!)




Also, there's some subplot where Franklin Richards is an out-of-control toddler who knocks out his Super-Witch Nanny and his granddad from the future has to come pull him outside the timeline or some ridiculous comic bullshit.




Also, The Milftastic Sue Storm is a reference to her latest Malice resurgence during the Infinity War (Super-Nanny namedrops Malice specifically).
