I don't see how there's any other choice really. Alex Ross' typical pompous bullshit or Steve Ditko running at his peak in his element.

I'll probably get the Alex Ross version because it's $20 cheaper on Amazon.

Skwirl posted:Seattle has an actual superhero, and by actual superhero I mean mediocre MMA douchebag in a mask who picks fights with drunks. Which is good, because the Marvel universe has Namor stopping someone shipping furs to Seattle from Alaska in 1942 and Cap and Bucky stopping the Bronze Savages in 1945. We are pretty boring in 616, it seems.

Unlike my pug, whose lot in life is to be in equal parts worries and confused, but in a spectacularly dumb way. Man, we really bred some dogs from every last inch of the shallow end of the gene pool.

So....who is the guy who took the cab? Loving that the cabbie just didn't care and started spouting off random names, hah.

Yeah that's a p. ballsy cabbie to openly gently caress with the guy like that.

prefect posted:I could swear they had the Silversmith in Boston in an issue of Astro City. DC's Wonder Woman was based in Boston for a while too, starting in the Perez run. I'm in the DC suburbs, which means I get all the sinister government agencies -- SHIELD, Checkmate, the DEO, and Amanda Waller. Oh, and Steel was based here after he left Metropolis.

Wanderer posted:He is being totally disappointed and sarcastic about it. That panel's from the start of an old Marvel Graphic Novel that begins with Thor feeling intensely depressed and borderline contemptuous of mortal society. That should have been a Team-Up with Namor so they could gripe about dogs and barrels and creamsicles... until they find that Namor *adores* the frozen treats, while Thor admits that dogs and barrels, specifically dogs *with* barrels, are deserving of the utmost respect and honor. And then they embark on a quest to Drink Canada Dry. Unrelated:

Everyone forgets Paladin shot Daredevil leading directly to his arrest at the very end of Bendis' run. Poor c-list bastard.

Paladin was almost-dating Wasp when Avengers Mansion got besieged by the Masters of Evil, and he was there to help fight back. That's something. prefect fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Sep 18, 2016 |

Shouldn't that be, "Doom made sandwiches"? Or doomwiches. Doom's own invention for an easy to make meal on the go.

Doom did that knowing people would be suspicious just to make them look like jackasses.

Yeah, Paladin dated Wasp for a while but she eventually ditched him to go back to Pym. That's probably the closest he's actually gotten to an A-lister.
