You can bring young Jon back and have him around for however long it takes him to grow up and close the loop with his older teen self.

Gaz-L posted:I disagree with that, but I am fascinated that Bendis writes multiple titles, sometimes featuring the same characters, and yet you'd swear they were written by different writers who weren't communicating with one another, nor had an editor do a pass for continuity or consistency. I honestly don't think editors have much to do with continuity these days.

Open Marriage Night posted:You can bring young Jon back and have him around for however long it takes him to grow up and close the loop with his older teen self. There's also the classic 'writers can't do scale' moment of Jon being kept in a volcano for... months? Years? And it having literally no impact on his personality. Like, yes, an ordeal like that for a week or two is something that a kid might bounce back from, if they're used to extremes like Jon, but... The really galling thing is Bendis IS good at doing trauma. It's just really, really obvious when he doesn't give a poo poo about it.

So I'm a fan of Kurt Busiek. I recently saw Marvel put out an Omnibus of his run on Conan the Barbarian. Since its a Kurt Busiek run I've never read I'm interested. However, I have never read Conan outside the occasional page or panel posted on random threads. As such I Know very little about the character/world of Conan. Can I just jump into Busieks run or will I be completely lost?

Since its a Kurt Busiek run I've never read I'm interested. 100% you can just start with it. It's basically a Conan reboot and hits adaptations of some of the most popular stories. And if you do like it, don't feel like you're reading the same thing if you go back to 70's Conan. Those are distinct stories as well.

Yeah that's one of the nice things about his run. It doesnt replace or supercede the previous stuff, it's just more of it told in an inimitable Busiek fashion.

DCU Infinite has collections that cover the 'triangle' era of the Superman titles, but the first one has gaps as early as 'triangle' #3, so are the missing a title? It seems to cover Superman, Action and Adventures of Superman?

Wikipedia says: To coordinate the storyline and sequence of event, from January 1991 to January 2002, "triangle numbers" (or "shield numbers") appeared on the cover of each Superman comic book. During these years, the Superman storylines ran with the story continuing through the titles Superman, Action Comics and later in two further series, Superman: The Man of Steel and Superman: The Man of Tomorrow Edit: a random Google spreadsheet I found says #3 was Action Comics 661, though.

Yeah, I did some digging and there's a weird gap in Action on there from around 660 to about 671.

The four Superbooks during the Triangle Number era were Superman, Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, and Superman: The Man of Steel. Superman: The Man of Tomorrow was a quarterly, to fill in the weeks of the year that one of the main four titles wasn't scheduled to ship.

In another world, it would've been canon that Viv Vision considers them family https://twitter.com/audkoch/status/1100960046349873153 Edit: Has there been an old Marvel superhero (I mean, like real-life old. Like a Timely character) who was retroactively made a mutant? I thought about Toro, but reading his wiki, it turns out he got re-retroactively made an inhuman. Edit edit: Besides Namor.

Is Taskmaster a mutant? Wikipedia says he was born with powers so I assume so, but I’ve never read enough with him to know if he’s considered a mutant.

No, he's got 'photographic reflexes' which is apparently like a super-powered version of being double jointed. It is in theory something any human can have but does not involve the X-gene.

I think the Namor thing came from him being called a mutant prior to X-Men #1 (in Fantastic Four), but I'd need to double check that. Whizzer got retconned into being a mutant who didn't have his powers activated until he injected himself with mongoose blood. Which begs the question, how many mutants are out there who have no idea until they try doing something in equal parts random and insane?

This is also an interesting point, since being born with powers is a-ok, but if you develop them during puberty, you're a mutant destined to be hated and feared. The puberty stuff is still a thing, right?

I feel like if you were born with powers at the time he existed in Marvel you were called a mutant, even though it seemed like a big portion of his powers came from his parent's exposure to cosmic rays. He was called a mutant however and was considered one for 50 years until recently when it was retconned that he no longer was. Artie and Leech seem to have their powers way before puberty as well.

There are humans that are allowed to live on a part of Krakoa. They can not be resurrected by the island though.

isn't there there's at least one person who's had their memories altered and is living out the rest of their life on like Krakoa's south beach and possibly feeling vaguely confused?
