Yeah, well, Skurge's last stand notwithstanding, the comics mean jack in the trailer because Mjolnir is shattered by Hel.

We still have angry Hulk and evil Jeff Goldblum.

Uncanny Avengers #11:

The Sentry is extra super turbo crazy in this arc. He's got more voices in his head than usual and he's going off script to do his own thing.

So do you suppose his skin sounded like a very tense rubber band snapping when his face reformed over his skull into place or was it a soft schlurping sound

Probably a slurp. In the second to last panel you can see it just hanging loose.

Man Uncanny Avengers was pretty fun, even if it turned out to be largely inconsequential due to time travel fuckery.

Yeah, Thor in Uncanny Avengers was a good compliment to Jason Aaron's Thor. You even get the origin of young Thor's axe.

There is no point. Sentry is Peak Crazy.

He was trapped in the Sun (I think Thor threw him in there or something?) And he kept dying and regenerating over and over. His mind is broken.

Some might argue that's what makes him much more interesting than Superman.

He may be a bad hero and a bad Avenger but he's an interesting character. I especially like how he fits into Siege.

Even that wasn't really Superman as an rear end in a top hat. It was Superman as a person with a fragile mind and no real support system that let things get under his skin to the point of just completely snapping and having a mental breakdown. Everything he did prior to his snapping was to help people and his mental state just couldn't handle it when people derided him just for trying to help. And then he went completely bonkers when all his out of costume friends found out he was Plutonian and they all turned against him like their friendship meant nothing. I mean he had a rough go of it even for someone who was mentally healthy.

When you have super-hearing, you can hear everybody who poo poo-talks you, and that's got to get under your skin eventually.

IDGI but he's a superman analogue. except his powers are all explicitly an extremely powerful telepathy that for most of his life he has subconciously applied as superman powers. I think at the end there he's aware and so powerful with it that he can just rewrite that guys whole arm to be off and healed. Also we meet his parents at some point, that's fun.

DC went through a "ripping people's arms off" phase, which started sometime around Infinite Crisis (I think,) and might still be ongoing for all I know.

It would've been slightly before that. The joke is that it's a Geoff Johns trademark and the first I can recall him doing it is an issue of Hawkman from 2003 or so where Hawkman hacks off the Matter Master's arm with an axe.
