What If the MU lost Atlantis Attacks: You might remember Atlantis Attacks as about Atlanteans summoning Set the primordial snake god.

I love this stupid issue because of how blatant it "cheats." Instead of changing one moment it decides to make sure the heroes lost on every front.

"Namor failed, Thor failed and Punisher failed. Awesome. Now let's see 40 pages of every hero dying horribly!"

And since it's on topic now, here's a massive article I did recently on the 100 best What If moments.

I read it this morning, it's fine, mostly set up for the rest of the series. My guess based on the end of the issue is that the series is going to reveal that Carol's always been half-Kree, and that's why she got her powers when the Psyche-Magnatron exploded, or not but something like that seems likely.

Love love loved Immortal Hulk #3 with all the different viewpoints, particularly the lovestruck old dear’s take on it. Digging the groove the series has found of creepy horror tales welded to the 70s Hulk show format. Of course if it stays true to it, poor Ms McGee ain’t ever getting an interview.

New Thor was good too, can’t beat a good ol Asgardian screwball farce, and all the explicit mentions of the convoluted family ties was fun to see.

Not even read all of this week’s haul yet but it feels like the best week in ages aready.

This comic was the moment I had similar to what X-O described. It's funny but nothing characters like The Aquarian will always be sort of important to me because of this issue.

That might have been the most recent time he'd been mentioned in ages, too. Also it left a young Dawgstar wondering if the Scarlet Witch could do stuff like 'turn Wolverine's bones to anti-matter' then why didn't she do it more? Then M-Day came and I never wished for anything else ever again.

I kinda stand corrected. While the JJ book is cool, the new Captain Marvel book is really incredibly good.
I guess that happens if you actually give her complex emotional flaws, wh8ch still seem really relateable.

I don't really know much about her backstory. Was her inconvenient childhood explored before?
It puts a lot of her characteristics in context. I guess you do often end up like your parents.

If this quality keeps up I'll end up liking her again. A-force and ultimates was cool, before everything collapsed.

I'm almost positive that this version of Carol's family is a full-blown retcon. I want to say her dad was alive when she was an Avenger in the '90s grappling with alcoholism, and there's an issue of Claremont's Uncanny X-Men that establishes that Carol's brother Steve died in the Vietnam War.

I guess that explains why he's not around.

He died in a war which ended a few decades ago.

E: rip spider-gwen

I enjoyed all the different art styles immortal hulk had for the different versions of the story

Del Mundo art was made for Thor, just so good

Life of captain marvel was okay I guess

I got the lettered art for my Edge of Spider-Verse #1 book and it looks v. good, and I remembered that it has the best joke I have ever written in it (a personal opinion that does not reflect the views of Marvel or the general comic-buying public).

What I am saying is please buy my book when it comes out next month.
