I really need to read Dr Strange

There is an omnibus of the entire Ditko/Lee run of Dr. Strange this week.

http://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAR160921 - Alex Ross Cover

http://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAR160922 - Ditko Cover

I'm going with the Ditko cover. :smug:

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.

Pretty much all of the Marvel/DC omnibuses on InStockTrades are 50% off the first week they come out, so it should be around $37.50 for it based off the $75 MSRP.

Oh good, now I can get the cover I want, as well having a new source to buy trades from other than Amazon.

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.

I don't know about disappointed, but certainly resigned. 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.

I could swear they had the Silversmith in Boston in an issue of Astro City.

And Invincible's Wonder Woman lived up here before her untimely end.

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.

I couldn't get too far into it.

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.

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.
