I think they were trying to say that given Wolverine's true age, every human ever fails the 'half your age plus seven' rule for him.

E: Except maybe Queen Liz.

Alternate reality versions of him and Herc. I think the last anyone's heard of them, Herc wanted to go to the underworld to get Howlett back? Too bad Marvel doesn't seem interested on picking that plot thread back up. :(

I like how Adam first has to beat Saint Nick in battle before making his request. Kind of like "I need to ask a favour but first I must defeat you in battle to show you I am better than you"

Since the mid-2000s, BA's been not good per se, but incredibly gray. He overthrew the dictator of Kahndaq and installed himself in his place. But it's kind of like Latveria where everybody is kind of cool with their supervillain leader*. And unlike Dr. Doom, Adam never really tends to actively antagonize any heroes. He tends to stick to home and unless you come at him or gently caress with his country/people, he won't mess with you.

*at least when Latveria is being written as a nice place, I know different writers tend to write it like a miserable place to live.

It's super cool that Black Adam would beat up wizard to make a little girl happy but also I'm pretty sure Santa exists in the DCU.

Nothing involving Lobo is canon, other than A) He exists and B) used a Green Lantern ring to make a giant energy-dick.

Klaus and the Witch of Winter: Two kids have been abducted to lure Santa Claus into a trap. The eponymous witch of winter has already captured one of the children. (I'm clipping generously to cut out irrelevant action scenes and not hopefully not post too much. I think it all still works)

I'm all set to have one of the shittiest Xmas's ever (unemployed, most of my family dead, and to top it off one of my cats got out of the house somehow and I spent Xmas Eve in the cold calling for her to come home, to no avail). I can't sleep because I'm so upset, hence me posting in the wee hours of Xmas morning.

So that Black Adam comic has me in literal tears right now. Just this dude who's always been portrayed as a bad guy being all "gently caress you, St. Nick, you best deliver to all the kids, ya hear? ALL of them, even the ones in Kahndaq."

Teth-Adam, please find my kitty

Sorry in advance for posting in thread where the last post is a month old, but I saw this comic by Mike Maihack (Cleopatra in Space) and wanted to share it. I thought about posting it in the fan art thread, but I think it works better here.

Bit of a long set-up but here: Superman Smashes the Klan #3 is a book primarily about... well, Superman smashing the KKK (or its stand-in, the Klan of the Fiery Cross) and helping a Chinese family adopt to life in Metroplis. But there's a B-plot about Superman himself. It's Golden Age Superman, which means he's only faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound instead of the usual powers we associate with him nowadays. But he's recently been recovering a lot of memories he'd buried as a kid like his parents revealing he's an alien or of suppressing powers like heat vision to fit in and be normal. Now he's bringing a girl home (via leaps, natch) after an adventure.







(after this he goes and finds a kryponian artifact he'd thrown in a lake as a kid and that's since grown into a Fortress of Solitude and has a emotional meeting with his birth parents for the first time. There's a lot of sweet scenes in the book throughout but this is the best part I could think of that's both told in consecutive pages and doesn't last too many pages to be posted here. Everyone should buy this story though, it's really good even if you don't like Superman very much)

If you squint at the marquee sign for the Smallville Lutheran Church, the scripture for the week is Leviticus 19:34. The theology nerd in me had to look it up, and it's:

NIV posted:

The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

or

KJV posted:

But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Nice bit of detail, there!

Didn't know whether to put this in here or the badass thread so I figured since this thread hasn't been posted in in a while I'd go here. King Thor #4: In the last battle to save the universe, Thor had to kill an infection possessing the entire universe (it's more complicated than that but I'm trying to be brief). Long story short, while the universe is safe, it's also dying.
