Gologle posted:So is Zdarsky's run on Daredevil over? I'll admit, I lost the plot a few times, mostly because I kept accidentally skipping issues. Did Electra's kid die? How is Matt out of prison? When did the Kingpin get remarried? Isn't Butch Kingpin's son? I thought Mike knew that Daredevil was Matt? Why is Mr. Fantastic fighting at street level? What does that last page imply? What about the clone Bullseyes? Did you not read the full issue? We literally see Kingpin's wedding. They also explain that Daredevil got his prison sentence commuted after all, because Foggy successfully argued he only escaped because of the drug, which he was only exposed to because of the FBI investigation they asked his help on. I think Mr. Fantastic was looking for Daredevil to discuss the vigilante issue, and decided to help him foil the robbery. I'm assuming the last page implied Kingpin either figured out Matt's identity, or is starting to put the pieces together. Probably what will lead to Devil's Reign. Bullseye killed off the clones in the previous issue. Butch is Kingpin's kid. Honestly I don't recall what happened to the girl Electra was helping, though I don't think she died. I think she ran off? Edit: I gave Venom a chance, since I was interested in what Ewing would do with the character, but don't think I have any interest in whatever Ram V's doing with his part of the story. A politician running specifically on symbiots as an issue just seems odd, even with the recent Knull focused events. Would the average person in the Marvel universe even know the term? Seems like they'd just lump them in with all the other alien invasions. glitchwraith fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Dec 2, 2021 |

The Question IRL posted:Those single issue Symbiot voters are an untapped demograph in Marvel politics. I'm sure they've just been co-opted by the "New Yorkers Have Had Enough with Alien Invasions, Property Destruction, and Constant Construction" group. Damage Control lobbies heavily against this.

To be fair people keep voting for unstable criminals who do a sort of good thing once. So I’m more impressed they haven’t elected Carnage to comptroller already

What unstable criminals hold/held office canonically in Marvel? There's Fisk as Mayor, Obama as President, Jameson as Mayor, Jim Jaspers as PM, Senator Kelly from the X-Men, Nixon as President...

It's a callback to the bit earlier in the issue when Matt tells Elektra about how Killgrave's kids hypnotized the world, how they could "look at a piece of paper that says Matt Murdock is Daredevil and see something completely different, or nothing at all." Fisk is looking at his file of proof that Matt is Daredevil and not seeing anything. It strikes him as odd that he doesn't see anything.

Caught on that it was referencing the secret identity discussion, but was confused what Kingpin was supposed to be seeing. Still, I'd file that under "putting the pieces together".

Norman Osborn as head of National Security or something, but that was an appointment, not an election (Thanks Obama). I see what you're doing with the Obama/Nixon stuff and I like it, but I wouldn't describe Obama as unstable, and Nixon wasn't explicitly named or shown. The Captain America story where Reagan turns into a snake, I can't remember if they ever used Reagan's name, but the pre snake drawing of the president was definitely Reagan. Not Marvel, but in the Return of Superman portion of Death and Return, Cyborg Superman (the evil one) saves a president that's very much definitely Bill Clinton, though again, I don't think they use his name.

Captain America kinda sorta became President when he was a Nazi but that was more "wresting power from the government" than an election. Ultimate Captain America did get fairly elected on his earth, and while not strictly a villain, Ultimate Cap was a jingoist prick. Iron Man was Secretary of Defense, and again while not a villain, it was post-Civil War when everyone wrote him as a total rear end in a top hat. Technically Marvel publishes Star Wars comics, so Emperor Palpatine counts. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Dec 3, 2021 |

Did Donald Trump (explicitly or thinly-veiled ie Reagan) ever show up as President in any Marvel comic? Or did they have an informal "nah gently caress that guy we're not even acknowledging this" policy? My knowledge of comics before the mid 00s is pretty poor so I don't even know if real politicians are usually acknowledged or not.

My knowledge of comics before the mid 00s is pretty poor so I don't even know if real politicians are usually acknowledged or not. I'm like 99% they never acknowledged it. I've only been reading since post 2000s but it seems like aside from special issues like that special issue of Spider-Man where Obama's front and center, most politicians aren't acknowledged these days, likely to keep comics from feeling dated on re-reads. e: or I guess if you wanna be cynical about it, it could be so anybody on either side doesn't get mad and stop reading comics whenever the next time some President blows their head off in front of Captain America.

Never forget Red Skull as Dell Rusk, Secretary of Defense. In other news, I read Vulpes latest two Spider-Man one shots (Daughters of the Dragon, and Death of Doctor Strange: Spider-Man). DotD has a “When I was young, I studied the blade.” joke after Misty says she actually went on dates in high school, unlike Colleen. And the pocket battlefield from Morrison and Jones Marvel Boy becomes a plot point. The second book is a fun Ben Reilly and Black Cat romp through New York’s magical side. Both are well worth picking up if you want something fun and low stakes in the current Spider-Man orbit.

My knowledge of comics before the mid 00s is pretty poor so I don't even know if real politicians are usually acknowledged or not. They fought a wink wink analogue of him from another dimension in Ewing's U.S.Avengers, which was a very fun book:  His whole thing was that he ran his criminal operation out of a big skyscraper with his name on it in gold letters, didn't pay his goons, took credit for a bunch of stolen Arcade deathtraps, and got beaten because his gaudy golden battle suit--   --was solid gold and not gold-plated so it just kind of got ripped apart and thrown away in two panels. The arc kicked off in January 2017 so at the time it felt... pointed.

So, apologies in advance, but I saw this panel in Marvel Team-Up #149 (Cannonball and Spidey by Louise Simson, very good) and I couldn't help myself. Click here for a bunch of edits.
