That New X-Men one was pretty sad. It came out on the year anniversary of 9/11, so the X-Men visit Genosha that got destroyed the year before. Polaris was going crazy because she was like a receiver for everyone's last thoughts before they died.

As funny as it is to see a penguin fly, I think it'd be funnier if the penguin just waddled, and Superman followed accordingly.

It's a fine idea. Everyone knows Superman will end up with Lois, so you mind as well play around with the idea of Superman and Wonder Woman hooking up until it's time to move on. Character growth and all that.

Mister Roboto posted:This thread has made me realize that Batman and Wonder Woman are both being written pretty well lately. So thanks to everyone who posted them. Who'd have thought Batman and Son would've turned out good? Anyone with any drat sense. And Wonder Woman isn't just good, her book is excellent. Best book DC is publishing right now.

JLA/Avengers was legitimately great, and I liked Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire by Denny O'Neil. The last line has always stuck with me. "The damned do not always scream and moan. Sometimes they suffer in silence." Probably the best storiy with Azbats.

Venom fought Juggernaut in Venom: The Madness, but I'm pretty sure he got beat down. The Superman/Venom fight happened in Marvel/DC Access or whatever that was called.

Putting "Thor sinking" into Google lead me to the full page that shows the Avengers and some lava men. "Avengers vs Lava Men" lead me to the cover of Avengers #5. Mystery solved!

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:Here's a page from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #13 that makes exactly as much sense out of context as it does in context. Oh man. I think this was my first comic book. No way anyone could forget Cudley the Cowlick. Can't remember any of the other names, but I recall the stump, and the wrestling champion who may have had four arms or something. The back up story was all about the champs weird rear end four armed, dog people family.

ImpAtom posted:The problem with this argument is that it boils down to "lovely people and assholes do this/did this, so it's realistic" when you're ignoring the part about it being the lovely people/rear end in a top hat part. There are plenty of people in the army, now and then, who managed to not be shitheads. There's no particular reason Captain America would need to be one, not even through realism. Ultimates was a product of it's time. They are George W Bush's Avengers. No way a cynical guy like Millar was going to make any of the characters halfway pleasant, besides maybe Thor.

How you going to drink that, Vader? It's a nice touch though, the original Star Wars adaptation has some fun stuff. Like Jabba the Hutt before he had an actual character design.

Heresiarch posted:The "Doom had a minor scar" thing is perfectly compatible with those pages. The idea is that the lab accident back at the university gave him a fairly minor scar, which he blew completely out of proportion. His later, greater disfigurement was due to the armor. Fraction retconned those monks into being different versions of Doom from across the multiverse. It was actually pretty awesome.

caboodle posted:Abnett's version of Ryder/Nova in the Annilhation mini series and then his run in the short live Nova book where he was the last corpsman were immense. RyderNova was originally a kid friendly kid hero. Marv Wolfman wanted a more Spidey like character while Adam Warlock and Captain Marvel were tripping balls in space. DnA's Nova was cool and all, but an essential part of the character was lost when he grew up. SamNova is easily the best teen hero right now, with only Quentin Quire from WatXM as any sort of competition.

I'm loving the new Nova. He has a strong supporting cast to bounce off of with his headstrong attitude. I'd like to see Dick Rider come back so people can stop being so hard on Sam. Maybe put him on the Guardians of the Galaxy, because I think the New Nova has the Earth adventures covered.

Gavok posted:She's already playing all the angles, having associated with disgraced cop John Cena, crooked businessman Randy Orton and heroic anarchist CM Punk. She's been kidnapped by the Bella Twins and now all three of those guys are trying to find her. This has led to Cena and Orton being kidnapped by bayou cultists for mysterious reasons. Is it legit good? Or at least entertaining enough to a comic/wrestling fan?

Ashcans posted:This reminds me of the animated Fantastic Four cartoon where Galactus is all set to eat the world and the Fantastic Four and guest-appearing Thor can't stop him. Then Ghost Rider fells him with a single Penance Stare, without even getting off his bike, because I guess Galactus has killed so many people having it turned back on him really hurts? Sorry for continuing the derail, but that was based off one of the Byrne FF issues, but it's Doctor Strange using a spell with pretty much the same effects. I believe it's the same issue that has Daredevil and Spider-Man sharing some popcorn because Galactus is so out of their league.

Please explain the scenario where Dwayne gets mad about John Stewart being a soldier in the animated thread. Like being a marine instead of a loving architect is some huge insult to the character. Maybe with all the racism in US military history, having a black marine that's also a space cop is pretty loving cool. Dude that designs buildings is nice if you're already familiar with the Green Lantern concept, or using the rings for more than beams and bubbles.

IUG posted:I just took it as his old look was just abstract because that was the art of the time back when he was introduced way back in New Mutants. I figured anything else was just trying to copy his style from then, and this is how he is illustrated in a more modern style. God, he looks awful. Like something from Bay's Transformers.
