Agreed. On that note I am overjoyed that Infinity Countdown is giving us a Deaths Head/Darkhawk team-up in the coming weeks.

I'm buddies with one of the co-writers on D-Hawk (as its fans call him). This is the second time he's gotten to use Death's Head, the second being in X-Men '92. Basically if Marvel gave him the chance to do a DH ongoing he'd doing (almost) for free.

I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

Onmi posted:

The Dazzler preview is uh... not the greatest.

So the writer felt that Mutants should be phobic towards Inhuman's, while I personally disagree with the concept it's the actual composition that leaves me scratching my head.



How does this mutant know these ladies are Inhuman's? They haven't used their powers, they aren't dressed any special way, and they don't look like they couldn't be Mutants.

On top of that, the comment appears to be delivered by a green-elf-orc hybrid thing, who is standing next to a yellow maybe-cat lady, with red and blue demon looking guys up front. Perhaps his comment is about how they're humanoid with no visible mutation? That doesn't work, the setting is a concert Dazzler is holding specifically to promote inclusivity, and Dazzler, like many mutants, looks perfectly human with no visible trait OF mutation.

So what's the deal? I was so confused about this the first time reading I thought the text bubbles had been swapped around.

There is an interesting discussion to have about bigotry between groups among minorities or similar ethnic groups and using the X-Men as a vehicle for it could work. Examples Irish not being white until they were needed to keep white majority or light vs dark skin african americans. It would be incredibly touchy.

This is not that.

I have always found the mutants vs Inhumans dichotomy in the modern Marvel universe to be utterly fascinating and completely rife for thought-provoking stories.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an ancient Sumerian curse placed on me, personally, making it so that absolutely any attempt Marvel makes at tackling the topic will be embarrassingly hamfisted at best and actively repugnant at worst.

Maybe the rest of the issue makes that exchange in the preview less cringeworthy? Though someone would have to help me break the curse first, so I'm not holding my breath.

What's this about a Superior Spider-Man relaunch?

Honestly I feel like that worked as a limited run with a defined ending, but bringing it back feels a bit pointless.

Superior Spider-Man is good in part because it's a successful longform narrative with a beginning, middle and end. It's a rise and fall story, and Otto has an arc that's very satisfying. I'm a bit more dubious about the idea of an ongoing, but I do like the character, so we'll see I guess.

Yeah I think this is actually Superior’s strongest feature. Ending with Otto realizing he’s a garbage hero and conceding to Peter was a great end to his arc that was only a little dampened by Slott immediately bringing him back. I don’t think we’ll be getting a Superior ongoing anytime soon though, that teaser felt less like an advertisement for a new book and more of Slott trying to leave the door open for his favorite character to get used down the line.
