Doom would've won at the end of Secret Wars if he'd remembered to bring Molecule Man the occasional doggy bag.

Was there any meta significance to that? E.g. molecule man integrating matter from another universe? Or was it just a funny bit

I know this is stupid but it kills me having to pretend that Miles actually has 1. a pocket 2. that would fit a hamburger. Somehow that is less realistic than spider powers and molecule men. I mean hey, he wears backpacks! Just have him pull a hamburger out of a backpack!

Because Owen was always hungry and Miles is the only one who ever brought him food, so Owen did him a solid. I'm not joking.

I thought it was supposed to be significant because everything Doom created was somehow "fake" and just a replication from Doom's mind and didn't provide sustenance to Reece, but Miles' pocketburger was from a "real" earth and so it worked for him At least that's how I read it.

He also brought back his dead Mom    As an epilogue to Secret Wars and after the years of following Miles, these two pages really got to me in a good way. Going back to the conversation, seeing the font change, and having Spidey ask about his mom was pretty loving awesome as both the end and start of a journey for Miles.

It is a goddamn shame that Hickman never got on a regular Spidey book because every time he did anything with him it was great. See also the issue post Johnny's death where Peter is consoling Franklin.

His first issue starts with 9/11. It's great. Oh and he gets accused of terrorism and gets sent to Guantanamo. Johns was firing on all cylinders when he wrote his story.

The funniest thing about that issue is that despite opening with 9/11, featuring racial and religious discrimination, murder, torture, illegal detainment and terrorism, imbeciles on the right who have no vocabulary to criticize media called it "too politically correct".

Baz has actually been written pretty well and I'd encourage anybody put off by his initial appearance and/or Johns-penned stories to read Green Lanterns.

Isn't Baz like the fifth or sixth human Green Lantern? How are there so many of them running around at the same time? I thought the whole conceit of the lanterns was there was like 1 per 'sector' of space and sectors were gently caress-off huge.

Basically they keep getting replacements and then the Guardians are too embarrassed to fire one when Hal comes back so they keep them on.

Zore posted:Isn't Baz like the fifth or sixth human Green Lantern? How are there so many of them running around at the same time? I thought the whole conceit of the lanterns was there was like 1 per 'sector' of space and sectors were gently caress-off huge. He's the fifth. His partner and former Power Ring (the Earth-3 evil GL, not the weapon), Jessica Cruz, is the sixth. And to explain all the humans, it's a bunch of technicalities. Hal Jordan is the first, Guy Gardner is the backup that the ring picked when Hal was unavailable. John Stewart is the backup backup. He gets the ring when Hal's out and Guy's in a coma. Kyle Rayner gets the last ring when Hal kills all the other lanterns and keeps it when they all come back. Baz gets Hal's/Sinestro's ring (it was Sinestro's but he created another one and deputized Hal because I guess that's just a thing that can happen), then when they both get sucked into another dimension called the Dead Zone they give conflicting orders (the exact wording of which I forget) to the ring so it kinda finds Baz through a glitch. They give him a real one after the current crisis in the universe for acting in heroism. Jessica was actually possessed by an evil otherworldly Power Ring that targeted her for being a coward (she's a traumatized agoraphobe) but Hal tutors her into overcoming the evil ring's power. Then during yet another crisis the ring goes nuts again but Jess (with a little help from Cyborg) overcomes the ring's programming and it shatters, then she gets a real GL ring shortly afterward. Also at some point the Guardians or someone decided that space sectors are too drat big for one lantern so they expanded it to 2 per sector.

Is that legit how he was introduced? Yikes. Sounds like they went full Shadow The Hedgehog route. He's darker, edgier, AND HE HAS GUNS! The kids will love him! I'm not much of a DC reader, so all I know about the guy is that he's the latest GL and Batman wants to work with him?

There's an arc where Batman straight up tells him to stop using a gun and calls him a coward, and he gives up the gun. Like two arcs later he loses his ring and boy egg on his face huh

Did anyone, at some point, mention that he was wielding the most powerful weapon in the universe - Terms & Conditions May Apply - and having a gun along with it was very silly?

It's like the first conversation he has once he meets other green lanterns. Basically his ring is jank when he gets it, so he doesn't consider it reliable. And after things get sorted, he points out the number of times the rings just stop working for bullshit reasons and leave the wielder stranded or defenseless. The mask never made sense because everyone knows his identity.

Do the rings have planned obsolescence built in by the Guardians so around the time new rings are being released the old ones can barely keep a charge?
