Violence isn't always the answer!



73 year old spoiler: Hitler is "so mean" that the machine breaks and is ruined forever. But only after he declares, "I am a louse! Vot a rat I am!"

As did Bucky (according to him, at least),



And Cable, Deadpool and Nick Fury.



Red Skull also trapped Hitler's consciousness in a cosmic cube, but he's also a super-Nazi so I don't know if that really counts in the same way.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

If I remember correctly Hawkeye was defending trying to kill Dark Avengers-era Norman Osborn by saying "wouldn't you have killed Hitler if you had the chance?"

They look like they're about to beat the poo poo of him in the poses drawn. This copy-paste poo poo is like the comic equivalent of Clutch Cargo.

I think the beat panel in comics is a good thing, but some artists are really unsuited for it, and like you say, just copy + paste.

Hitler, being a supervillain, comes back to life frequently so multiple people can kill him without issue.

I actually think the group shot C&P works here. Like, I imagine them all just standing there and blinking for a couple seconds like "wait, did he just..."

The other C&P on the page is bad though.

On the good art side of things, I was recently reading Deadpool Pulp (an OK series overall, maybe surpassingly so), and I really loved this sequence:









Really excellent sense of the two characters entering this warm, liminal space among all the darkness, where there is almost (amidst all the darkness) some hope of a peaceful solution or reconciliation, and then just when all the rest of the world has vanished, bam. Hell of an impact.

e: Laurence Campbell on pencils, Lee Loughridge on colors.

In the '80s, almost every comic shop seemed to have a life-sized cardboard stand-up of Wolverine by Arthur Adams. I always thought it looked better than any other artist's Wolverine, even as a kid who was just starting to recognize certain artists' styles. Adams became my first-ever favorite artist thanks to Excalibur: Mojo Mayhem, the New Fantastic Four, and all his Marvel trading cards by Impel, but I first noticed his work from that giant Wolverine. My all-time favorite Wolverine action figure is from Toy Biz Marvel Legends series 6 -- the brown costume version based directly on Adams' art.

This may be old news, because I don't visit comic shops as often as I used to (or as often as most of you), but when I went to one last week, I saw life-sized cardboard stand-ups of Ms. Marvel, Spider-Gwen, and someone else... possibly even Squirrel Girl? And they were all drawn by Arthur Adams. It made me strangely happy, that Marvel chose one of the best artists in the game (if not a prolific one) to continue making these big, friendly stand-ups to greet kids in comic shops, 30 years later.

Are you sure it was Art Adams? As far as I have seen the only life size SG stand up available to us was drawn by J Scott Cambell.

It could have been, since Campbell's style is so heavily influenced by Adams. But it may not have been Squirrel Girl at all (although Adams did draw a Squirrel Girl variant cover recently). I remember Ms. Marvel (Kamala) and Spider-Gwen for sure, and I was almost positive they were drawn by Adams. Campbell's faces and proportions are somewhat more exaggerated in a cartoony way. I'll check tomorrow and report back.

It's the only SG stand up they've ever offered and it's JSC.

It is a bit weird to respond to a strip-tease by also taking your clothes off. I've gotten tossed out of so many clubs for that.
