It was, Ghost Panther especially ruled. Thanks for the Black Cat support, everyone! I'm extremely on edge with having to worry about cancellation for the first time, but I'm gearing up to stave it off as long as possible! I've been getting pages back and it's going to be a real cool book.

As a Sony exec I have to ask- does Black Cat have to have Black Cat in it? Also I'd love if we could work in a SoundCloud rapper into the plot, to hook the kids.

Yvonmukluk posted:Oh, OK. I don't know anything about AA. For the record: in AA, your sponsor is basically the person responsible for keeping you in the program and supporting you. If you fall off the wagon, your sponsor is supposed to be the person you call for help. So that solicit implies that Tony is saying, in effect, "since I fell off the wagon (kinda, sorta, virtually), I can't very well be responsible for helping you if you do, so I need to find you a new sponsor." Which... isn't strictly required by the program, but every sponsor handles the position in their own way, so it makes sense.

And if this is what spurs Tony to build some new gadget or app for Stark Phones to stop people from drinking, it makes sense that he'd ask another superhero for advice.

Ah, the 'silicon valley techbro invents an overcomplicated solution to a problem that already had one' plotline. I mean, just from googling, that medication-based approach seems like it works? Then again it seems like nobody knows about it anyway, so I guess you can't really blame Slott for that.

It works for some people but does not work for others. When it comes to recovery it’s hard to do research as AA is an anonymous program. Also what is a success when it comes to staying sober? One month one year?

I love how much of the costume appears to be metal, a material known primarily for being super stretchy.

It think it also runs into the problem that alcoholism is a condition with many elements (mental, social, societal, culteral) that I could see an engineer go "But we invented a medicine that if you take hours before you plan to drink it prevents the effects of drinking. Beep boo boo, why didn't it work? Does not compute!"

I assume you're referring to the Dan Slott-created character Joe Green, aka Gauntlet, and not Gauntlet, the Claremont/Jim Lee/Whilce Portacio-created member of the Dark Riders. Y'know, Gauntlet!

Read the first trade of Aaron's Avengers. Great stuff, really accessible to comics newbies. I dropped off of Waid's run even way before Civil War 2. Was it any good? I think it relaunched with Avengers Unleashed and a revamped team, but did it get good? I heard that the flashback story was fun, but being chock in the middle of CW2 and Secret Empire didn't give it any favors.

I don't remember a single thing about Waid's Avengers other than feeling like it wasted the idea to put Kamala, Miles, and Sam on the team.

Waid's Avengers had some semi-neat Kang ideas but was pretty unmemorable. That's not necessarily a bad thing; it's better to be unmemorable than, say, Chuck Austen's X-Men.

It's kind of amazing after all these years we still look back at Chuck Austen's run on X-Men and go "yeah glad this isn't that poo poo" Is it because it had the unfortunate luck to follow Morrison's New X-Men? Or because even in a vacuum it's still that poo poo?

I loving hate Slott, but the Superior switch was pretty successful both commercially and critically, and he was moved to Marvel's original flagship book after writing more issues of Spider-Man than Stan Lee, so I bet he feels fine about his legacy.

That was more Joss Whedon who undid everything G Mo did, putting them back in costumes, ignoring stuff like Mutant becoming more of an ethnic identity with its own culture and what not. Then Bendis really put the nail in it with "No More Mutants."

Austen's run on Uncanny is the same time Morrison is on New, taking over after Joe Casey left (whose run wasn't great, either). After Morrison finished, Austen took over New for two issues and either misunderstood what Morrison was doing, was told to make some changes to what Morrison did, or some combination of both. -Morrison ends with Jean's dying action to change Scott's mind from quitting the school (since it leads to Here Comes Tomorrow), while Austen has him do just that -Ernst is textually Cassandra Nova being re-educated at the school. Austen has Ernst as a separate character and Nova's body is held in the mansion. (Whedon follows up on this, as well, so he either missed the point or decided Austen was more canon.) -There's a Salem Center X-Corp, which doesn't really make any much sense, and it's identified as a school (which they explicitly aren't). -The last unnamed Cuckoo if named "Mindee," totally missing that they were supposed to spell out SPICE. Austen remains on the book, but they drop the "New" and it runs into the story where we learn that there's a real Xorn only has a black hole for a brain instead of a star. This Xorn turns out to be nice. (We also learn over in Excalibur that there's another Xorn who was pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn.) Whedon mostly built on that groundwork.

After Morrison finished, Austen took over New for two issues and either misunderstood what Morrison was doing, was told to make some changes to what Morrison did, or some combination of both. Like they are things I only learned years after the fact. Like the fact he didn't carry on those points while he was writing his own arc really isn't one of his sins as a writer. What would be his baffling ideas (the disintegration communion wafers, the Draco or crucified most of Gen X, Havoc or Angel beating up Magik and taking her soul sword.) The tone deaf stuff (Angel and Paige's relationship, she morning in Nurse Anne, mutants being immune to HIV) But all of that pales in comparison to bringing in Juggernaut and Sammy the Squid Boy, doing a great job with them...then the mean spirited hatchet job he did burning them to the ground on the way out. Like it's one thing to be aggressively bad. It's another to have good points, and pointedly destroying them on the way out as some sort of middle finger to the audience.
