Oh god,not only do you get your legs pulled out of their sockets but you're basically drowning for 9 hours, yeah i think i'll be giving walkways and escalators a wide berth this new year.

I guess elevated walkways are just a kind of panel, and it's funny how gravity works. Comic even.

The wiki page is really something

Often, rescuers had to dismember bodies to reach survivors among the wreckage.[7] One victim's right leg was trapped under an I-beam and had to be amputated by a surgeon, a task which was completed with a chainsaw.[13]

They did! The giant leg belongs to Mr. Nebula, who's like Galactus except he redecorates planets instead of consuming them.

There's no backstory, I guess Bendis found it funny or something. Later, Ryan North would retcon this from a kind-of-implied relationship to something much sillier in a letters column (that I can't find right now).

That issue of JL Quarterly was legit one of the first comics I ever read, and is thus extremely near and dear to my heart and weirdly formative to me in general! I would buy copies of it whenever I would come across one, and it took YEARS for me to realize it was a parody of the first Galactus storyline. All my copies of it got destroyed in the NC hurricane this year though. :(

yeah at the time, SG was still an answer on internet quizzes. No one expected her to become, like, a mainline character so they could imply silly backstory without it actually meaning something

The only series I already own and rebought as a collected/omnibus edition is Planetary. The only other series I’d do this for is the complete JLI. Give me all of it, the whole darn thing because I loved every minute of that gloriously silly series, it just doesn’t get enough love.

You should try it, it's a real buzz.
I'm way more into European Comicbooks by virtue of geography, but I have to say that when I encountered JLI I loved the poo poo out of it.

I only have excellent ideas
Squirrel Girl was fundamentally a blank slate at the time who had only been written, to my knowledge, by Dan Slott and Will Murray. It's not a hysterical knee-slapper but I don't see it as intrinsically gross either-- in between her first appearance as a teen hero and her long stint of periodic GLA appearances her age was nebulous afaik and vaguely in the range of perma-20s that most minor characters settle into. The joke as I understand it is that Wolverine's past is convoluted and exasperatingly imbricated in every byzantine corner of the MU, which like-- low-hanging fruit perhaps but not necessarily rotten fruit.

The holiday special pages posted earlier were, to me, way grosser, but Bendis is a more readily legible punching bag than Jeff Parker I guess. Although to be fair that Madame Masque scene was deeply obnoxious and a pretty ugly indicator of some of BMB's worst writerly tics.

The take on that that I liked, told by "unpretty" on Tumblr, is that every woman in that scene is posing seductively or coquettishly except Doreen, who's happy and smiling.

Which suggests that one of Logan's innermost fantasies is just running into Doreen under circumstances in which she's actually, genuinely glad to see him.

I like that. Also it's pretty attainable since she's *always* genuinely happy to see someone.
