That seems like enough of a starting point, thanks all. Oh, new page....I am going to be profoundly sad when Immortal Hulk is over and Hulk will go back to seeming like a comic book, and not some sort of insane fever dream of a man trapped in a bookstore entirely made up of gothic and religious literature. But I repeat myself.

I'm sad about Hulk back to being just another comic book, but I guess that's the nature of mainstream comics. They never end, but at least we have the satisfaction of seeing great runs like Immortal Hulk ending as their authors want them to.

Yeah, me too. I was reading it on marvel unlimited and once I heard it was going to be an even fifty issues I decided to just wait for it to be done and binge it. It was by far my favorite current title, but I知 glad it値l have a definite conclusion as opposed to just petering out or get taken over by a different writer. I know some dipshit, I think Cates is taking over Hulk but they池e not going to be still calling it Immortal Hulk, right? It値l be some status quo revamp? E:^well that answers that. : )

Yeah, looking at her wikipedia entry it says her parents are Pakistani immigrants and her name comes from a British cricket player of Indian descent. I was gonna say Kamal Khan until I remembered she was also Pakistani. Has Dust been in any of the Hickman era books, there's a lot of issues with her as a character but I liked her in the post Morrison books she was in (X-Men Legacy I think, with Rogue leading a team?)

As a background crowd filler character like every other New X-Men era kid except Pixie and Glob what no I'm not bitter Like she's been a relevant character in Champions way more than in any X-Men stuff for the last five or six years

I want a mini or something that's these three https://twitter.com/WolverSteve/status/1402356341512015883?s=20 They were all on Avenger in the Bendis era and have teamed up a bunch, but I want something that's literally just those three, no other heroes aside from brief cameos.

I enjoy the "Logan as the dirtbag protective older brother/Peter as the dweeby younger brother" relationship, and adding Steve to the formula as the successful straight laced older brother that the two younger fuckups both love and hate would work great

I wasn't as much of a fan of this week's Heroes Reborn as I was of previous issues. It felt much less like a DC pastiche and more just Zarda is bloodthirsty, and it did more than any other issue to move the story along and kind of suffered for that. Night Gwen, on the other hand, worked much better as a kinda sorta Batgirl story, especially all those panels of her on the motor cycle with the flowing cape.

Heroes Reborn is a really fun event. It's kinda stupid but they bring an interesting kind of pathos. Also, I enjoyed Power Princess. She's clearly passionate about drinking, fighting and murder and you just have to admire that.

The thing about around 50% of people who want to write Wonder Woman is that they actually want to write Red Sonja.

I will say that even incredibly boring events can occasionally throw an incredibly weird turn at me, like "Why is Flash Thompson a dragon?".

You would be surprised how many variations of Beyonder shows up and is chill, people attack him for no reason, then he just shrugs and walks away there are! If you guessed a number equal to the number of tie ins you got it right!

For an event that's supposed to go through 42 issues it's a bunch of absolute nothing so far. And it's in the middle of an interesting X-Men & New Mutants run, which makes it feel worse. I've just finished the 1986 Punisher 5 issue min series and that was pretty good. I'm guessing SW II won't be getting better anytime soon.

It leaves the New Mutants loving traumatized for quite a while, but that's most New Mutants stories.

The appearance of the Shadow King made me appreciate his look in the Legion TV series, they made him look good.Spider-Man and Thor have had some good issues around this time as well. It's a pretty good time for stories but not for crossover events. I thought the first SW was really good though.

I think she get's super fat because of being taken over by Shadow King around that time, but I don't actually know. I know she get's skinny again because Loki traps her in a desert.

Edge & Christian posted:Karma loses her leg in the Second Coming event, about twenty-five years after Secret Wars II. I just realized I don't think I know a thing about Second Coming. That time of the X-Men is like a giant blur. Granted until recently Karma didn't show up regularly enough I could be forgiven for thinking "yeah, she's had that prosthetic for ages."

This new black knight comic has sick art. Great slicing and dicing stuff. Mental illness framing in episode one is a bit silly but the art is great and the framing doesn't carry on to the next 2
