At first I was all "hey, this doesn't belong on page 666!"...Then I kept reading and changed to "complaint withdrawn."

He's in that last panel so technically the gang didn't actually destroy him it appears.

From Judge Dredd Funko Universe: Dredd rescues a puppy from a tree, only to find that it's not the one he was actually initially looking for. This happens.

Anderson has a hunch that there's a way to turn the zombies back, so they have to infiltrate the building the Dark Judges are in without killing any zombies. this is their plan.

Senior Woodchuck posted:It's also worth noting that the person Mephisto was trying to get Hell back from was Strong Guy. Mephisto isn't great at holding down his position sometimes. Like here! Doctor Strange - Damnation 4 Setup: Las Vegas got blown up good during Secret Empire, so Dr. Strange comes in and raises the whole city from the dead. Unfortunately that means brought Mephisto up with it (apparently Marvel God is super lazy and when a whole city got bombed everyone just got sent to hell regardless of if they deserved it) and he brought a casino with him because as a devil he appreciates irony. So anyway poo poo gets bad fast and half the Avengers (plus Strange himself) get turned into demons. So Wong gets together a B-team of vaguely magical heroes to save the day   (Mephisto killed Blaze in the previous issue by lifting his Ghost Rider curse and just throwing him out a window) Fast forward a fight scene or two...

Johnny Aztec posted:It's ...it's a shortened form of pusillanimous. Christ. It's not referring to anything beyond the meaning of "showing a lack of courage or determination; timid." This isn't true. It's garbage that people say when they're too lazy to clean misogynistic language out of their vocabulary. The two words have separate, independent etymologies and histories, and divergent pronunciations for most of their lives. There's no link except for extremely spurious folk etymologies. There's no reason to use "pussy" to mean a weak, timid person unless you're either speaking from ignorance or you don't give a poo poo about the symbolic degridation of women through language. Nobody on earth has ever used it as a shortened form of pusillanimous ("you're being a... pusillanimous??") in good faith. It's like a school-kid calling somebody "niggardly" or "a bundle of sticks" because they know they can inflict harm and just barely not get into trouble for it. It's just a dodge people use to get away with something they know they shouldn't be getting away with. How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Aug 29, 2018 |

http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=24012 "So to sum up: There's a plausible and well documented etymology for the sense of pussy in question, namely puss + y → pussy = childish or colloquial word for "pet cat" → term of endearment for a woman → sweet or amiable woman → sweet or effeminate man→ weakling/coward/sissy, with the parallel development of pussy = female genitals lurking somewhere in the background. Puss is Germanic in origin, and definitely is not a shortened form of the Latinate word pusillanimous. The hypocoristic ending -y has been widely used in colloquial English for 500 years, and similarly has no connection with pusillanimous or any other Latinate word."

To be fair, it was part of Secret War so it was insane God King Doom ruling over the leftovers of the dead multiverse, using the Ghost Riders to entertain the people with Mario Kart esque deadly rally race to entertain the masses. There's not a better comic for a Hellfire Infused Cyborg T-Rex who Surfs on a jet plane.

Why is Doctor Strange cool with noted mass murderer Frank Castle dropping by to get his guns upgraded to +3 pistols? Like, I get that Doctor Strange is often positioned as somewhat removed from the average day-to-day of the mundane world but you'd still expect a former surgeon to be a bit more reluctant to help someone whose entire schtick is brutally killing people. (Yeah I know, "it's comics.")

Who says that's what he's doing? Maybe he's casting Favored Enemy: Literal Demons on them, so they're just hella good against demons. Or maybe he's making them Holy. Strange works in mysterious ways.
