Clearly it should become canon that Ego lives a double life as Ego, The Living Planet and beloved actor, Kurt Russell. It will be revealed that the last thing Walt Disney ever said was that he knew who Kurt really was.

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:It's also the same guy that's writing the really great Black Widow that is ending soon. The difference is that those are people in their Thirties, which is less "now" and something feeling less inauthentic coming from the mind of a mid-Fifties guy than writing teenagers. Of course Twenty- and Thirtysomethings judging the authenticity of fictional teenagers might be a lot of pot calling the kettle black.

Waid's still doing goo teenagers at Archie. I think it's just that the man has good ideas he can't deliver on from time to time, like his Hulk run.

Mark Waid is a usually A List writer but he has turned out some lovely comics during his time as a pro writer. His Deadpool mini. The last year of his second run on Captain America. His Kazar run had potential but quickly became a pointless mess. His run on JLA (the regular book) is a goddamned nightmare. The Kingdom is widely hated by anyone who breathes oxygen. Gatecrasher was not good. He was 50/50 on his Crossgen work. Ruse = good, Sigil = BAD Hunter Killer was garbage from the first issue. He wrote a bunch of Farscape comics but it was as if he'd never watched the series. He couldn't get a handle on a single character's voice or personality. Everything he wrote at BOOM other than Irredeemable. He also did a bunch of comics clearly for the paycheck like Ash and Painkiller Jane.

It was a novel enough concept at the time and I don't think it's Waid's fault what it led to. I also liked Heaven's Ladder (regret never having owned it in the tabloid-size release it got or whatever it was).

Irredeemable is the Supermanish guy and incorruptible is his villain who gets tougher the longer he is awake right? The former had an OK start and some interesting story beats but the latter was definitely way better.

They were both really good but Irredeemable was like the event/team comic that drove the narrative and Incorruptible was more a character study on a guy that was really bad and tried as much as could to make up for it. When Irredeemable ended I thought it was a good ending to a good story. When Incorruptible ended I was sad because I really wanted to read more with that character. To me that made it the better book.

So looking at that dug up a deep memory of a series from the 90s called Venom: The Hunted that involved a ton of symbiotes running around and there was like one guy who had like 8 symbiotes or something crazy. When i jumped back in last year there was flash space knight around so i know there's a planet of symbiotes that are peaceful and stuff, but i was wondering what was up with that whole 90s storyline, how it ended etc if anybody remembers.

That large format really makes the story larger than life, like the opening scene in Half Baked. I'd also recommend Justice For All and Captain America: Bicentennial Battles. Also, Superman/Spider-Man, and the Star Wars treasury edition deserve to be mentioned. Venomverse sounds awesome. I don't have Gavok's dedication, but I love me some crazy Venom stuff.
