Surely the first sign is that his word bubbles look different.

It took the Avengers and the MU in general WAAAAAAAY too long to figure out Thor was a different guy.

“He grew a beard over night, talks really differently, and seems to have no idea how to use his powers.... Nope, nothing different here!!”

What restaurant did the writer or artist go to where it’s super fancy Chinese, formal attire required, with the service wearing white suits and fortune cookies are served on a fancy plate? Cuz I want that experience.

I guess they were storing it just nearby. For safekeeping. In a giant box marked T.N.T.

(As for the logic of not using a nuke when that would be so much smarter, I'm guessing the author didn't want to include nukes in this kind of story, for kids and all that. Not that there aren't some particularly gruesome stories about T.N.T out there.)

Yeah, I think to most kids, Nukes=End of the World, TNT=Coyote gets his face blackened.

I've been to restaurants where they did the 'fortune cookies on a plate' thing. Not the white suit thing though.

During the Kree-Skrull War, I think he had a similar realization. Unless he realized it backwards. My books are all still in moving boxes. :(

Wasn’t this part of the Batman: Year Two run (4 issues, IIRC)? Absolute trash, though it had one good idea: the antagonist’s character design, which was lifted for the Mask of the Phantasm animated movie.

Year Two crapped over Batman: Year One so harshly that it took twenty-five years for someone to manage to take an even bigger, stinkier, runny-diarrheal poo poo on Year One. (Kevin Smith, I’m looking at you.)


I’m sure Pym particles are at least part of the reason Clint is a mini-giant and I don’t really care about the rest of the explanation (unless it’s interesting or funny). What I do care about is why his costume is a mix between Captain Metropolis’s “night on the town” getup mixed with some overalls he won in a pumpkin-growin’ contest, capped off by one of those harnesses that claim to improve your posture. (The last might be part of Cap Metro’s chase figure’s outfit, though.)

Kraven seems like the type of character to get mixed up in all sorts of wackyness, especially with Squirrel Girl and Spider-Man. I'm glad some writers don't take him seriously.

That was actually retconned to be a trick. Because Mark Gruenwald thought that retconning this thing rather than just ignoring it was what we really needed.
