cant cook creole bream posted:Comics.txt I really got a little bummed out when I was going to laud Marvel for going "We published a bad story that misused a character, so let's correct that" when in reality it's "Our most recent attempt to throw every single thing at the wall to see what sticks didn't give an adequate return on investement, so lets reset our assets to factory standard." Like I can't remember who it was a couple months back who just had a page-long post about how they suspected corporate decisions are made in Marvel (and DC I'm sure), but lordy is it easy to believe them.

Jeremy Whitley rules, so bonus content from him is always welcome even with this comic existing at a weird intersection of 616 and MCU. The clunky advertising lingo aside, there were some fun bits in there!

I was reading Marvel Two-in-One yesterday and this close-up of the Human Torch made me realize the weirdness of those lines on his face and body that he is drawn with. He’s got highly defined facial features and the typical lines drawn all across his face. Originally Torch was drawn with lines across him I think as a way to depict how the fire was obscuring his features, while using the lines to give his shape some definition still. The obscuring of features is done in the same way that the shape of Mysterio’s head inside the fishbowl was suggested. The lines may have also been meant to depict the direction of the constantly rising flame and heat.  That’s a panel from FF #2 which just has the lines and Torch doesn’t have much definition otherwise (but then again it's not a close-up). Eventually Kirby or someone else kept the lines even as they started adding normal features to Torch and the result is that Torch ends up with flaming pumpkin face.

The lines are really weird. You can read them as a form of shading, which is fine, but then that shading has been integrated into the character's design such that he's still shaded that way even when the rest of the art isn't.

Speaking of Beta Ray Bill (cross-posting from the animation thread), I just started the Simonson Thor run and man, that thing moves. At the end of the very first issue Bill has already become Thor and been ported up to Asgard. I hate that the issues up on MU are the digital recoloured versions but oh well, I'm still liking what I see so far. Especially after reading about 30+ issues prior to get some pre-Simonson context.

Most of it is setup about Reynolds's life in New York and how Strange set the Sentry/Void up in a pocket universe (I had no idea about this, but I wasn't current on Sentry's story at all). The plot kicks in on the last few pages and there's a cliffhanger. If you're iffy on it I'd wait another issue or two to see where it's going.

Please Marvel let Bowers and Sims have a Darkhawk book after this Infinity Countdown mini is over. And a Death's Head book. Or just a book with both is fine. It's my favorite thing going right now.

 I haven't seen this in years. This is Venom #3 that came out on Wednesday. At one point, Venom asks Miles Morales why the Avengers and the X-Men are not here when there is clearly such a big disturbance in New York. Miles explains that they're busy fighting celestials in Jason Aaron's Avengers. I seriously can't remember the last time Marvel explained why characters were not in the book by referencing an actual concurrent series. It sounds silly, but it really makes it feel like a shared universe when you explain why characters don't show up because their busy being in Other Stories. I swear Marvel used to do this all the time and I am sad that they don't do it more.

I hadn't been keeping up on Weapon X but I just sat and read the first two trades and the crossover with Hulk. What a big bunch of nutty fun that series is. I'm strongly considering trying to catch up and start picking it up in floppies. Is Weapon H as good?

They cover up the art, (when in books) are generally used far too liberally, and the with advent of the internet are completely unnecessary
