So according to the latest Flop House Podcast, Elliott Kalan wrote an parody of Old Man Logan featuring Spider-Ham. It was drawn by Skotti Young but was shelved because apparently the powers that be didn't want upset the Old Man Logan creators. I could see Millar getting salty but McNiven seems pretty chill.

Old Man Hog-an?

So I'm assuming that the Red Skull will be dealt with before all this Secret Empire stuff goes down? Cuz I don't see a spot for him at this table!

My bad if this has been discussed previously.

Red Skull has no place in Cap's Hydra. Steve Rogers has been plotting to kill Red Skull and take Hydra from him since the beginning. That's a major component of this story. Steve is loyal to whatever his vision of Hydra is and has been biding his time to take it from Red Skull who he thinks has completely corrupted the organization.

If it wasn't for the speech font I'd totally be betting on War Thor being Nick Fury.

My money's on Ultimate Thor. Like, not the Ultimate Thor from Secret Wars, but the actual Ultimate Thor from Ultimate. My logic: in Cataclysm (that event no one but me likes) Thor and Galactus get sucked into the Negative Zone. Afterwards, Galactus randomly shows back up in 616, but Thor never shows up in either universe. Also when he was sucked in, he had been depowered by the Maker*, which could lead to that line about him feeling less worthy than other Thors.

But it'll probably be Frog Thor made human or some poo poo.

Actually Cataclysm had a genuinely awesome moment: The Maker and Miles jump to 616 to learn about galactus (by going to the Baxter building) but get attacked by the building's defenses. Miles is making his escape being chased when he happens to swing by... Superior Spider-Man. The defenses switch target to Spidey who has no idea wtf is going on while Miles escapes.

It's a great Parker luck moment Otto had to suffer through.

Doc Ock? It's covered in Amazing Spider-Man and The Clone Conspiracy. He transferred his mind to the Living Brain and then into an Octobot. Then he cut a deal with Ben Reilly and cloned himself. Before that clone body decayed, he transferred his mind to the Proto-Clone and is now THE SUPERIOR OCTOPUS!

There's nothing special about me.
My money's on War Thor being Ragnarok. We haven't seen him since the end of the Dark Avengerbolts run, he had come to grips with being a clone of Thor and having to find his own identity, and then... nada.

But then they probably want to sweep everything from that under the rug.

New Iron Fist is starting off really mediocrely. On the opposite end, Ultimates 2 was fantastic as usual, and I think Elektra got a lot better with the second issue.

I've been working on catching up on Marvel's stuff and decided to run through the series that got me back to giving a gently caress about comics again.

I want more of that...
Fraction & Aja as a team work as fantastically together as Clint & Kate do.

I'm a filthy casual and only stop in at the local comic shop once every couple months but noticed a new Kate-Hawkeye set in L.A. I've picked up everything but the most recent issue but haven't had time to crack them open yet so I can't tell you if it's a good series yet. Anybody got an opinion one way or another on this series or have any suggestions for things I should be reading through Marvel Unlimited that relates to it?

Also what is Fraction writing on this year?

Nothing For Marvel. He has Sex Criminals and Ody-C at Image, but I think they seem slow to come out. I haven't read either of them in a long time.

Uncanny Inhumans ended the whole thing hilariously.
Maximus knows how to synthesize Terrigen and spent this whole IvX tie-in arc assembling ingredients with his dodgy conspirators. In this final issue they find a factory and the others wait outside for four days while Maximus is constructing a terrigen producing machine.that would save everyone the trouble of fighting over clouds.
Instead, he got bored and used everything to make a giant mutant stomping robot with a terrigen sword. Just then, one of his buddies he'd previously married against his will to a fish queen for her eggs (one of the ingredients,) arrives in a giant fish mech, and Charles Soule's Inhumans saga ends on the silliest big monster fight.

He also has Cassanova coming out. I suggest starting at the beginning of the series otherwise it doesn't make much sense.

Kate-Hawkeye is good. It's fun, Kate's a great character, and it's a good amount of humor mixed with drama.
