You’re telling me Peter Parker is ...... Spider-man!?

Dirk appeared in Star Lord's book for a minor cameo, and when Black Panther married Storm, one of the gifts they received was addressed from him.

Also I love that Ewing is rapidly making John Garrett more and more into Dirk Anger with each issue of New Avengers.

He was pretty much that in Elektra Assassians

Out of curiosity, what's Aikku yelling in New Avengers #15, as she emerges from the armor? I'm not even 100% on what language that is.

Remembered about 30 seconds later that Google Translate has a "detect language" feature now. It's Norwegian: "I could not save her."

Is he asking when Benedict became hotter than Strange? When Strange became hotter than Gwen? Is he comparing Gwen Poole to Benedict?

So, I always imagined that Hellcat was like early 20s based on how she acts and stuff, but based on this issue, she's way older. I realized then that she's probably a Kimmy Schmit kind of deal, being older but acts way younger due to her experiences.

All I can say is there's a reason Hickman, a guy who loves convoluted webs of storytelling, really didn't delve into that character's backstory other than bringing back his powers and destiny as a future godling.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Franklin Richards is one of the most powerful mutants on Earth with the ability to alter reality, but it's too OP a power so they usually find some reason to give him to not alter reality, and he's really good friends with and occasionally is Galactus. Also in an alternate reality he dated Rachel Summers, who in that reality was the daughter of Cyclops and the living embodiment of the Phoenix Force, so that was a bit of a power couple but for whatever reason he was garbage and got killed in that reality. But that was his basic teenage template and for a while someone writing Fantastic Four was like "it's the 90s, kids suck!" so he became a teenager. I have no idea how this ended but eventually he ended up being a kid again, and, joke on all the 80s and 90s writers who were constantly finding ways to remove the Richards' children--they now had more kids than ever (technically only two but they basically have like a 20 person day care going on). He's rebooted reality, a couple times, but other than that he's just a normal kid.

So does he ever grow up or are they just going to keep him a god-kid forever with occasional glimpses of a future version of him hanging out with his bff Galactus?

He's slowly grown up. He used to be a toddler in the 80s. (lol)

Wait that's an actual established thing about his character? I thought they were just using weird comic book liquid time where the world gets progressively more modern but nobody ever gets any older except when sometimes they do.

Franklin’s little sister may be even more messed up than he is.

Although less well known, Franklin does indeed have a young sibling named Valeria. Valeria appeared to be stillborn, but of course instead Franklin had sent the baby to an alternate dimension to be raised by another Sue Storm who had married a heroic version of Dr. Doom. When Abraxas attacked, Franklin summoned her, they resurrected Galactus, and then Franklin regressed his little sister into a fetus and put her back in his mother’s stomach to be born again.
