I've been reading more 60s Marvel stuff (mostly for early Hulk appearances) and I love how the inner cover is basically a carnival barker trying to seal the deal and get you to buy the drat thing.  I think the first one is also the introduction of the Green Goblin? He works with a film director to get Spider-Man cast in a film and then tries to kill him on set. Not in any clever way by rigging a stunt to go wrong, he just has some guys attack him. Then the Hulk turns up.

Of Marvel's current lineup I would be particularly happy with Zdarsky, Ewing, or Duggan writing F4.

Hell, it already involves mind control of another character in the text of the comic. I really hope the "biggest change" to ever happen to the FF isn't total horseshit. Unless Johnny kills Alicia for utterly violating one of his friends!

The idea that it's impossible to have exciting dramatic stories and have characters in a healthy relationship with their SO is so loving toxic.

So Slott cites Ben/Alicia as the healthy relationship but Alicia is also using her dad's clay? Um.

I hate Johnny Storm too but I promise if I were given the FF book I would only express that hatred by having heavy objects land on his head from great heights every issue.

cant cook creole bream posted:Mr. and Mrs. X was pretty good. But obviously, they had a lot of history and baggage. I meant more like this current bullshit with F4 and Spider-Man bullshit I'm still angry about from decades ago. X-Men obviously has a poo poo ton of characters, but Scott and Jean have been main characters for the entire new run and seem pretty happy with their marriage and dramatic poo poo happens around them constantly. Having a third might help that. Edit: Actually bringing up Mr and Mrs X, Gambit and Rogue are still together and happy with each other too, X-Men is basically just people happy in their relationships while dealing with the world trying to destroy everything they've built.

The wealth of fanfiction seems to suggest that people want fluffy romances in media more. That and explicit loving, but that one's less easy to make canon.

One of the best things Hickman did was just go "all the X-Men gently caress each other and nobody gets jealous" so we can have Scott and Emma and Scott and Jean and Jean and Logan and there's no more love triangle bullshit. And you still have happily married couples who don't need to do that with Rogue and Gambit and Kyle and Northstar. Johnny cheating on his girlfriend is completely out of character for him and pretty much just a character assassination. Johnny is a lovable jerk, not a straight up dick who would cheat on his girlfriend.

I think a lot of the most popular stuff in fanfiction, or at least in the past which is totally outdated and I'm loving old leave me alone, is stuff that's kind of built on being relationship misery wanking. Stuff like Whedon. Where the instant anyone is happy horrible things happen and nothing ever gets a loving chance to breathe and establish a baseline. I remember being incredibly frustrated by that watching stuff like Buffy. Not to the point I wrote fanfic but I get it.

Possible cat wizard Hickman is quoted saying, while hitting his fist on the table. “We *pound* have *pound* to *pound* give *pound* them *pound* wins!” Super heroes not being miserable all the time shouldn’t be such a novel concept.

TwoPair posted:*throws Spider-Woman #12 across the room* See that's at least good drama. Roger is right in how he's feeling, and either he's right about how Jessica feels, or Jessica does love him in return and hasn't realized she's kind of been sidelining him. But you can sympathize with both of them, and neither of them is really acting bad. They're both acting like humans with real feelings and both can grow and there are multiple ways they can resolve their conflict. Whereas why would anyone sympathize with Johnny now. Slott just made him super unlikable and you in no way want to root for him.

I have no idea where else to ask this so here goes. At some point Dr. Doom was a sorcerer and he had a mask made of stitched together human skin. I know for a fact this was real but I can't find a single picture of it through google no matter what phrasing I can think of. Am I insane?

I tried "Doctor Doom skin armor" and got it, it was from an arc titled "Unthinkable" by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo in 2003.
