Al Ewing is really going all in on the King in Black tie-ins. S.W.O.R.D. was a fun way to use the event as a pretense for showing his team in action, and Immortal Hulk I'm not sure about. Maybe I'm misreading but it seems like he's tying Knull into the overall sweep of his narrative in a pretty fundamental way?

The Immortal Hulk one shot tie-in came off more like a small Christmas issue that happened to have a symbiot. Not really following what you mean in the spoilers, despite just reading both Immortal Hulk and SWORD, but maybe I missed something.

I guess the red text could be a Knull reference but I didn't read it that way initially and I expect there would have been more visual cues if that was the case.

Yeah, I think the reason we got that one shot was to do a tie in without having to interrupt this 4 year story arc's climax.

knull is only the one below all in the sense of him being worse and less interesting than other villains.

I liked Jackie implying that if she had gamma powers she'd have smashed (no not like that) the dude that wanted her to do listicles. (Also he's totally someone important, right? We never saw his face and I feel like they wouldn't do that just for the 'faceless corporate drone' thing)

Got an excellent deal on Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus 1 today and I’m looking forward to finally reading it. Yes, I know it’s technically DC but Jack Kirby is not.

Darkhawk has long been a personal favorite of mine so I welcome any chance to read more. The stuff from Sims and Bowers during Infinity Countdown was really good.

I feel like Darkhawk needs a little something extra to his costume to make it really top notch. Maybe something that emphasizes or highlights the crystal. Especially since at first glance with the wings and helmet and claws it has the look of an amalgam hero.

Darkhawk was the only comic I got as a kid that wasn't a licensed one. The other ones were Uncanny X-Men 300, the Adventures of the X-Men (or whatever that one was that was just an adaptation of the cartoon show), a random Robocop comic, and some Darkhawk comics for some reason. Also the Fish Police trade for some reason.

I was going to defend the 90s thing because Darkhawk was part of Marvel's HEROES FOR THE '90S promotional push and if you debut in 1990 you do have a narrow window to be the Hottest Hero of the 1990s. But all of that falls apart because Darkhawk launched almost a year later in 1991. HEROES FOR THE '90S were, for the record: 1. The New Warriors 2. Ghost Rider (the new Danny Ketch one) 3. Guardians of the Galaxy (the original 30th century ones, updated for the 3090s by Jim Valentino) 4. Robocop in a licensed comic to tie into Robocop II 5. Namor, back as a big businessman written and drawn by John Byrne 6. Spider-Man, except now Todd McFarlane is writing AND drawing him! So I mean even Darkhawk would qualify as maybe the 3rd Hottest New Hero of the 1990s based on this competition?

The hottest hero of the 90s was Spawn. There is no debate about this. At least if we're talking about heroes created in the 90s, like Darkhawk. Otherwise it's probably the X-Men.

Soonmot posted:I just want you to know that I'm making a list. Darkhawk is actually very cool and very good. It specifically says "hottest", that implies popularity and commercial success. Even if "of the 90s" is supposed to exclude all the late 80s creations who became monstrously popular in the 90s, it's still a horrendous lie.
