Comic artists draw children that look like weird dwarves, so why not a dwarf looking like a weird child?

For some reason I was confusing that for when she beat Doctor Doom, which was her introductory story in 1992. For some reason I thought it was earlier because that seems like a pretty 70's or early 80's story.

Alright, it's not worse than Mr. A or using his original Spider-Man art as cutting boards, but it's pretty bad. Since the series of specials it appeared in was being used to clear out inventory stories, I've suspected it sat in a filing cabinet for twenty years before it saw print. It would be nice to get an answer from Ditko on this, but that's obviously not feasible. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Feb 7, 2018 |

It's not his best work, but it's fine and has a kitschy charm and eventually lead to the creation of one of the best big 2 comics being published today. Mr. A on the other hand has better art but is morally bankrupt.

At that point she had gotten She-Hulk's physique and She-Hulk had gotten her short and out-of-shape one. That said, I am not willing to discount the possibility of the double reference. For bonus "Comics!" points, this happened because apparently gamma irradiated physiques screw up Ovoid mind transfer techniques; that technique has come up three times in comics, once in Fantastic Four #10 where it's goddamned crazy, this time, and one time when Dr. Doom suddenly went, "Oh yeah, I can move my brain to another body," and used it to escape his own death. The creator of that third time? One Mr. John Byrne. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Feb 7, 2018 |

Yes. At it's core, horseshoe theory asserts that extreme leftists and the extreme right (or really, the two ends of any political spectrum) will both tend to adopt totalitarian policies. It does not assert in any way that the two opposites actually hold similar political or economic views.

Couple of moments from today's Batman #40 where he and Wonder Woman have been stuck in some monster killing dimension where time doesn't pass, for decades.

the point of the comic of course being that even mild leftist views are dismissed for being as 'extreme' as actual fascism because any questioning of the centre-right status quo is threatening edit: not that comic, which is just a light-hearted disemboweling

Jordan7hm posted:Are Batman and Wonder Woman boning? They must be boning. 30 years is a real long time There was a cliffhanger last ish on them heading for a kiss at year 10. They didn't. Then after he ported back to the real world and told Catwoman he was a good boy, over in Justice League, also out today, the lady Green Lantern plants a smooch on him. There's no timeframe established between the comics, but I'd like to imagine it was directly afterwards.

I'm reading Claremont X-Men and in between Storm being nude every other issue or 13 year old Kitty constantly being put in bikinis or other skimpy outfits there's some fun poses.    We also get Nightcrawler having a problem I would have never thought of.  And Wolverine being... umm...  So in conclusion,

I don't remember if he actually says it, but after one of the crises there was a good Superman story called "Up, Up and Away." It was the one year later thing the did a decade or so ago.
