It feels "stylized" to me, but someone's said that to me before when I said art was awful, so that's probably not a great argument. I don't think it's too bad, personally. Certainly not realistic to any degree.

I like it too, if that helps. "Stylized" art only bugs me when it happens in the middle of an arc that was a different style before, or if it impedes the narrative.

Also, based on the last panel, and the gloves, I assume it was Deadpool who took off the manhole cover.

Not anymore, I actually think Psylocke and Supergirl are great counterpoints on the current direction of Marvel and DC. Compare the various versions of Supergirl pre New 52 and the current costume. They went from something kinda skimpy to basically the same costume, only she doesn't even get a skirt. In Marvel Now Psylocke switched from an uncomfortable looking swimsuit, to a costume that looks vaguely like something an actual ninja would wear.

Since Data is a proper noun in this sense, it would be Datas. If one of them was named Datum, you might make an argument that multiples should be called Data, but you'd be wrong, they'd be called Datums.

Yeah, I forgot Quesada somehow. Actually going back over it the only creepy ones are JMS, Cebluski, Cho and Kyle. And depending on delivery, Kyle and Cho could be jokes.

Actually, I don't blame any of the writers for answering a question they were asked, but the idea of asking and publishing the drat thing is really stupid and weird.

What exactly is the relationship between Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and Spider-Girl?

Spider-Girl first appeared in JMS' Spider-Man, running around in a his costume. Then she was in Ms. Marvel after Civil War as part of The Initiative, I don't really know what happened after that.

Spider-Woman is the 2nd (I think) person to go buy that, and was created a long time ago, mostly so that DC or some other comic company didn't create a Spider-Woman character, and then Bendis fell in love with her. No real connection to Spider-Man though.

How familiar are most earthlings with with the psychology of Martians? Plus for most of his history, wasn't he the only living green one?

How do find it humorous how in early Spider-Man he won't shut the gently caress up about his Spider-Sense, which is his only ability that isn't instantly apparent to bad guys and makes a great hole card when dealing with someone tricky.

I thought he was the best original character in Morrison's run - he was definitely unlikeable, but his whole rebellion is probably my favourite part of NXM. Though it's one of those things where looking back his current character doesn't make a ton of sense; in WatX he's a lovable hipster fuckup, while in NXM he got both humans and other students killed 'cause he was messed up on drugs. If you think about it, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the school at this point.

I don't know the story behind what happened with Ms. Marvel's character back then, but a female editor of a magazine was pretty revolutionary and probably a reference to Ms. Magazine whose founders included Gloria Steinem. That weird "space rape/pregnancy/marrying your kid who is also the dude who space raped you" is absolutely horrible, but I think the "Editor in Chief of a magazine" was intended to be glamorous and show how awesome she was. Keep in mind, marvel at the time was owned by a magazine conglomerate, so for any writer there, being offered to run a magazine would be a great job.
