The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

So Issue 12 of New Avengers was pretty good, because you know, Al Ewing is an amazing writer.

But this panel happens in it after the Wizards banish the Celestial Destructor that you see in Civil War II #1.



The hillarious part is what Dr. Strange says. Because it's a reference to this sketch.

I always thought Mycroft Holmes was a hilarious character. He's better than Sherlock in every way at what Sherlock is known for, doesn't have the crippling character flaws and leads a pretty stable life, and the only thing keeping him from being the real protagonist is that he doesn't enjoy field work or adventure.

To be fair, he basically runs the entire British government rather than solving a few murders.

Le sigh. International copyright is such a drag.

Basically the Mitchell and Webb show is a British Comedy Sketch show. The Vectron sketch was one of the shows best ones, and he has Dr. Strange reference it.

It's doubly funny as Vectron is a made up deity being invoked by a wizard who gets powers from made up deities.

(Issue #5)

Second layer of humor due to his name (spoilered for those who haven't read/seen Machiavelli's The Mandrake:

Wikipedia posted:

The Mandrake takes place over a 24-hour period. The protagonist, Callimaco, desires to sleep with Lucrezia, the young and beautiful wife of an elderly fool, Nicia. Nicia above all else desires a son and heir, but still has none. Callimaco, conspiring with a rascally marriage broker and a priest, masquerades as a doctor. He convinces Nicia to drug Lucrezia with mandrake, claiming it will increase her fertility. He adds, however, the dire warning that the mandrake will undoubtedly kill the first man to have intercourse with her. Callimaco helpfully suggests to Nicia that an unwitting fool be found for this purpose. A reluctant Lucrezia is eventually convinced by her mother and the priest to comply with her husband's wishes. She allows a disguised Callimaco into her bed and, believing that the events which caused her to break her marriage vows were due to divine providence, thereafter accepts him as her lover on a more permanent basis.

(Disclaimer: I only found this after Google, because I expected Callimaco to be someone pretty grifty anyway. Also, I was waiting for the Classics Illustrated Machiavelli trade, anyway.)

So, in the latest Howard the Duck comic, Howard gets sent somewhere by the nexus of all realities or whatever because he wished he was home. He ends up however in the home of his old flame Bev in Maine. They go through some emotional pages on why it's obvious their relation doesn't work out anymore, why problem just keeps following Howard no matter where he is,





and it ends with a gag of a Sentinel who fashioned himself after the Punisher who goes on to explain its life story, followed by trying to kill them both.

Dating the older sister is kinda boss. It'd be a poo poo move though if Crystal wasn't twice divorced and with a tween child.

One of the iconic Inhuman things for me was Black Bolt as king but Medusa doing all the actual statecraft because he couldn't talk.

quote:

The Himalayan site of Attilan became known as "the Great Refuge." The Himalayas did not prove to be remote enough to enable the Inhumans to retain their secrecy, however, and soon the Inhumans' existence became known to several of the governments of the outside world, although not to the general public. While in the Himalayas, all of Attilan's ancient architecture was accidentally destroyed by Black Bolt and the city has been extensively redesigned and rebuilt.
