I can't help but feel a superhero party is a lot like an office party. A lot of standing around chatting with the forced joviality of seeing people all night who you see all day anyway and goddammit just let me go home and change and get some sleep

As someone who has been very vocal about his frustration with DC's creative choices, this was really cathartic. I don't even like Hitman or Ennis' DC work that much, but even if it's little more than pandering it's pandering to me.

The one thing that really bothered me about her appearance in this issue is how highly implausible it is that Gwen wouldn't know who Rocket Raccoon and Groot are. Calaveron posted:Cultural osmosis and internet context clues isn't enough for me to understand Gwenpool so please explain Gwenpool to me. Someone else already covered how she's divorced from the "Alternate Gwen Stacy" idea so I'll just sum it up. Girl from the real world and die hard comic fan somehow gets pulled into the 616 world because of Secret Wars somehow. When she realizes this, she know full well that the way this universe works, if she doesn't put on a mask and start making herself stand out to get herself some plot/popularity armor, she'd probably going to die the next time Doom or Thanos get bored.

SilverSupernova posted:The one thing that really bothered me about her appearance in this issue is how highly implausible it is that Gwen wouldn't know who Rocket Raccoon and Groot are. Does the MCU exist where she comes from or only the comic books? Before the movie a lot of people who grew up and kept reading Marvel could be expected to not really know who those two were.

Is she stuck in 616? Is that a plot point? Is she actively trying to get back to the real world? Is that a plot point? Does she miss friends/family whatever? Or is she just horsing around in Marvel World?

To go back to the original question...mind the walrus posted:If Marvel registers "Crisis of Infinite Gwens" can they get sued?  Calling it "Crisis" might be risky, since the brand's so closely linked with DC. But you'd have to ask a trademark expert to know for sure.

Or is she just horsing around in Marvel World? She's clearly from some spin on the "real" world, but has no particular desire to get back and has hinted that if she did, it wouldn't be to return to a happy situation. She was asking Strange to help set her up with a legal identity.

She was asking Strange to help set her up with a legal identity. Okay. Thanks. It just seems overtime someone posts a page or gives a synopsis of what she's about there's never a hint of the "(wo)man out of time" device so common in these situations. And I guess I wanted to know if was either CLEARLY used or COMPLETELY unused, in the sense that only one extreme or the other makes it worth reading. A half-assed arc of "oh, whoa, I sure miss my brother Tom" or whatever is never compelling. I get that it's a comedy book though.

I liked Gibbon better in his original appearance, where he was basically pre-blued Beast, only instead of intelligent, he was ugly and wore a monkey costume without the mask.

The covers really hype up Gibbon's first appearance as an instant classic but he's just some rear end in a top hat in a monkey suit.
