On the gripping hand, the later panel of Flash being the only person in class, and saying something like '....was I the only person who didn't know Parker was Spider-Man?' will never stop being funny.

I remember at one point in the 80s (or was it early 90s?) Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man was always the funny one, with stories about commuting etc. e: Oh gently caress The Commuter Cometh was in The Amazing Spider-Man so very bad example   There's nowhere to web-swing from in the suburbs. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Nov 17, 2020 |

Occasionally I think Mousse and Shampoo are weird names for characters. Then I remember Trunks and Buruma. And the fact I once played a character in a tabletop game named Resetti Butan.

Dareon posted:I remember a more recent story where Peter takes this running jump off a roof, shoots his web into the air... then falls right onto his face as his web spills harmlessly down like the sin of Onan because he started from the roof of a barn in Kansas or something.  I think this was fan made, though. I still laugh every time I see it.

I’ll always remember that because that’s the issue cover dated the month I was born. Chip’s Howard the Duck was a great book, and deserves to be revisited by anyone who missed it the first time around. EDIT: Missed your edit.

I believe he was inspired by Osamu Tezuka's practice of naming characters after random inanimate objects. Sometimes it worked out and you got something like Rock or Duke Red, and sometimes you're the poor guy named Ham Egg or Acetylene Lamp.

I decided to read a bunch of Venom books on Marvel Unlimited this weekend. I wanted to start with the most recent run. Then realized I hadn't read the previous run so went to start with this. This kept happening until I decided to draw a final line under it and start with Rick Remender's Agent Venom run. That lasted for about 6 issues until I got to the Spider-Island issues and I had to read Spider Island. That story was really good. And it setup Kaine's series. I'm going back to Agent Venom so I can eventually get onto more Venom stories and Absolute Carnage.

Woebin posted:This was a good book. Yes! Woebin posted:Is Kaine (that's how he spelled it, right?) still around these days? Not really. After the cancellation of Scarlet Spider, Chris Yost started a New Warriors run where he brought in Kaine and Aracely to, in theory, continue some of their unresolved plots only for that series to be cancelled in like five issues or so. Then years later, Peter David started a Scarlet Spider run with a resurrected Ben Reilly, which had decent characters but was a complete mess because of their entire plot hinging on you caring about a war between angels and demons in Las Vegas. That's never an interesting plot, PAD. Anyway, in that run (lasted 25 issues, ended in 2018), Kaine shows up occasionally and without Aracely -- he ends up trying to make a new life in Vegas, keeping a low profile. Or something, I forgot most of it. I think he also showed up in one those Spider-verse crossover thingies doing nothing of importance. Everything that transpired in Huston is forgotten and he's just generic evil/edgy Spider-Man to the best of my knowledge.

I really liked Kaine while I was a teen that was into dark and edgy and while he's not really a character I care for anymore, I still like his reversal of sticky hands to just pull apart structures instead.

muscles like this! posted:Fun fact, after having Peter show up as weird crying loser in Howard the Duck Chip Zdarsky was then made the writer of Spectacular Spider-Man. I was watching some youtube video where they basically said good parody actually helps reinvigorate dead/stuck genre's because it gives fresh perspective to media. So Scream actually helped out the slasher/horror genre because it helped writers see the issues in the genre and write around them.

Immortal Hulk #40 A lot of very involved stuff has happened, that doesn't matter. Hulk is falling through space.    That tagline  Bonus mpreg:

With Hulk looking like he's been on a hunger strike for a couple months, it sort of makes the Thing's poo poo talk a bit less cool (though admittedly funny in a different kind of way). It reminds me of the Simpsons bit where this corporate mogul type talks about how his dream was to knock out Muhammad Ali, which he did "just last week" and cuts to him ringing Ali's doorbell and sucker punching an old man who has Parkinson's. The tagline is great though.

While the optics doesn't look good, this is the Hulk and the Thing we're talking about. We know that even in the Hulk's weakened state he can still go a couple rounds with the Thing, and we know the Thing knows that. Also, it's the Hulk, a fight's probably exactly what he needs somehow.

Also the title of the book is Immortal Hulk and he's already come back from being dismembered several times, so as readers we know he's not in any real danger.
