Also I'm not exactly sure why you used spoiler protection when everyone would be spoiled if the pages were actually posted.

That one part of A Game of You where Foxglove and Hazel are freaking out over their nightmares looked half-assed when I first saw it. Reading about it later Colleen Doran and her inker were getting into it and the art suffered.

For those who don't know, as it is only mentioned outside the comic proper, Fiddler's Green is pretty much early 20th century philosophic mystery writer G. K. Chesterton. Completely. I'd have to check dates but he may BE him, considering when the Dreaming kinda shut down and everyone left.

Thor just got done drinking a giant under the table in an elf bar in the middle of a "Fellowship" type hunt for a rogue dark elf that isn't going well (it's Thor, an elf, a dark elf, a giant, a dwarf, and a troll). Thor: God of Thunder 015 (sorry for the cell phone image quality)

Maybe it'll give you goat legs or maybe the guy'll turn up in a year and want your firstborn. Wizards are horrible. But it was "the fault of someone he can bludgeon", because Thor knows like nine regular ol' Earth scientists that could shrink him on down and let him punch her tumors back to health. Someday I want to see a member of a superhero's supporting cast get a serious illness and be like "fucker you get on the phone with Reed Richards yesterday".

I hate to ask this because I'm hardly an an expert but um, isn't the chemo affecting Jane a little fast? She's been on it less than a week and she's already emaciated and covering her bald head with a wrap?

Mr. Maltose posted:Go read The Death of Captain Marvel. A scene from that book I've always loved is when Thanos tears the sheets off of Captain Marvel's bed and he's perfectly fine. Something akin to the following exchange happens. Captain Marvel: The greatest minds of Earth couldn't save me, and now you just fix me like that? Thanos: Of course. I am Thanos. It's also a really sweet moment, seeing Thanos and Death escort Captain Marvel into the afterlife as friends

To be fair, hasn't Pym been taking point on Foggy's treatment in Daredevil? I know I'm pretty behind but that was the status quo at the end of the Ikari arc, wasn't it?

I think he was just keeping an eye out to make sure Bullseye's guys weren't attacking. He hasn't been around really at all since that arc wrapped up. Choco1980 posted:I hate to ask this because I'm hardly an an expert but um, isn't the chemo affecting Jane a little fast? She's been on it less than a week and she's already emaciated and covering her bald head with a wrap? Probably. But chemo drugs/radiation therapy affects different people at different speeds and it all depends on exactly what kind of regiment she's on. Additionally some people go ahead and just shave all the hair the minute it starts thinning. Anyway, here's more of that same scene from Thor God of Thunder 12. I really like that whole issue.

I love the need to pointlessly try to inject legitimate reasoning for breathing air on the moon. Like, it's a comic book about alien gods, sure, I get it, but you guys want to create a naturally occurring atmosphere on one section of the moon? I had to read the rest of those pages a second time because the first time I was literally thinking "what the gently caress-?" until the end after reading that line.

Also, as someone that's been on chemo, yeah, that hair loss is about right if her treatment was like mine. It was pretty freaky how rapidly it came out once it did start to turn loose. I literally woke up one morning with all of my hair that was in contact with my pillow staying behind on the pillow (eyebrow and all) and knocking wads of hair onto the floor when I ran my hand over my head trying to figure out what the gently caress that morning.
