Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

They did that already with alignment-flipped Sixis Tony. It was good but ended with a wet fart because Secret Wars just came along and retconned the whole thing out of existence.

You really are a louse...

Also the back story/issue/thing that came after the main thing of the Mockingbird 50th anniversary issue of SHIELD, which was also about Black Widow and Red Widow (a character who so far has only appeared in things written by Margaret Stohl).

I'll miss Alpha Flight being in stuff and Kris Anka drawing things. I'm still looking forward to it if Captain Marvel's going to be doing less space stuff but if Alpha Flight is gone from the book, that plus no Anka sounds like a slight downgrade so far.

I kinda like the new #1 for new creative teams. It makes checking out runs in Unlimited or in trades/hardcovers a lot easier, and nowadays it seems rare for new teams to pick up with the same storylines as the previous team. Every one has their own style, characterization and stories.

It's easier until you're looking at trying to figure out if you want Captain Marvel (2013-2014), Captain Marvel (2014), Captain Marvel (2014-2015), etc.

I really like that time but...

Am I the only one who really, really, really, really hates Ultimate Thor's hammer?

Why can't we just have Odinson rock around with his Destroyer arm, kickass axe and crazy Tetsuo cloak? Isn't that badass enough? He's more vulnerable without the hammer, it differentiates Jane from him even more, and the hammer just looks silly, especially when you've already got an axe like, right there!

I suspect he's gonna try and lift the Ultimjolnir and fail. I mean, the book is called the Unworthy Thor, and presumably Ultimjolnir still has a worthiness test.

I think the idea is that after being married to in a long term relationship with a superhero, she's just really really not interested in going out every night and getting her rear end kicked. Tony had to work overtime to get her to even associate with superheroes again, she's over them.

Batman + Nightwing vs Cap + Cap

Even though he's not getting used right now, I want Animal Man vs Squirrel Girl. Of course they never actually fight. Animal Man probably realizes he's in a cross company crossover, and lays down for the unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Nova + Miles Spidey vs Jonathan Kent + Damian Wayne

Harley vs Deadpool. Duh.

Doctor Strange vs Constantine

Black Widow vs Batwoman

Gotham Academy vs Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur. They decide to solve mysteries together.

Super Lex Luthor vs Unworthy Thor.

The best I can figure is that it happens to be one of the better themes from that time period (when I wasn't watching wrestling), considering it's at least better than Randy Orton's theme which has unfortunately stuck.

It's also really common for artists to use GIS for reference. There was a point when Marvel stop supplying artists with any reference material at all. There was an AOL chat room dedicated to supplying artists with decent reference pieces back in the day.

It happens. Artists are so busy that they need references for characters they aren't currently drawing. The editor should have caught it, but eh.

It's no worse than when an artist put the wrong Hazmat in a comic.
