the author who came up with that premise left almost immediately and simonson was stuck with it for a while. maybe it was originally supposed to be sincere attempt and not cameron hodge sabotaging warren, but who knows?

someone needs to check on Chris Claremont. Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/ComicsXF/status/1555684681806499845 My personal favorite of this whole weird meltdown was "yeah a panther God was going to ask Kitty Pryde if she wanted to be black, since she was actually the daughter of Storm and T'challa" EDIT: my dude dissed Tessa Thompson *and* drunk pirate Kitty. Rev. Bleech_ fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Aug 6, 2022 |

I always got the vibe that the logic behind pairing Storm and Black Panther was at least in part just because they were the biggest black characters in Marvel and I just realized that a similar logic probably applied to Rogue and Gambit, being Marvel's biggest southern characters.

Rogue and Gambit were paired up as part of Sinister's scheme to breed the most impenetrable accent in comics history.

Silver Surfer was invented because Jack Kirby just threw him into the art he sent to Stan because he looked cool, and Stan had to invent him on the fly in the lettering stage after the script was done. Norinn just hanging around looking cool and not really doing much is on brand.

They announced a Mary Jane/Black Cat ongoing at a convention this weekend. No creative team announced but it's a crime if it's not written by Vulpes.

They were together at the end of the last run but then when the new writer (Wells) came on they're broken up for ~mysterious reasons~ that I'm sure will be flashed back to eventually.

Oh, so they did that off panel and just mentioned that they're done? That sure feels like immersive story telling. Honestly, if that was a tv show I'd assume the actress did not renew her contract between seasons.

I'm just saying, if there was one thing guaranteed to put your long-term on again off again relationship into an off again phase, it would be finding out your boyfriend did that.

The Silver Surfer collection I read wasn't very impressive in terms of story of characters, but the art blew me away. These are probably my favorite depictions of Storm, Wonder Man, and the Silver Surfer himself

You gave the answer over there: the artist traced an action figure. That's it. That's the reason. As far as I'm aware, he's only appearing in Iron Man, so it's not like there's some "correct" armor that he should be currently wearing.

Nothing wrong with photo references at all, but change some stuff so its not as jarring, or keep the styles consistent at least. There are greebly bits on Rhodey that I think only exist on the figure. Oh well. I do enjoy the art in the book. cant cook creole bream posted:I think he's showing up in Captain Marvel too.

Honestly, they're cute together. But yeah, he has been wearing that suit at least since Kelly Thompson's run began, since he was in the first issue. And apparently, it's his only one. Conversely, Carol is so much better at conjuring outfits. This was during her magician phase. I guess, just making it appear is a bit easier than having Tony built you a complicated high tech suit. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Aug 8, 2022 |

Actually what do you guys think of the Kelly Thompson Captain Marvel run? I feel like the characters and jokes are quite enjoyable and the art is pretty, but some of the story arcs go a bit to deep and take to long. I feel like I'd want shorter, less epic stories.

Carol's supporting cast are just better/more entertaining than Carol. And after seeing Ms. Marvel I think they're adapting that to the MCU too!

What made it awkward before Thompson is they didn't really give her much of a supporting cast and kept taking her away from Earth. Thompson sort of does that but she's better at making Carol likable and she's been playing with elevating the cast Captain Marvel does have.
