The looks on She-Hulk's and Wolverine's faces in those two middle panels could be straight out of a Kate Beaton comic.

There's something really entertaining about the panel with Kaine crushing the coffee cup that I can't quite articulate yet.

It's his perfect transition from :stare: to :black101: that slays me.

At that point they should just have him go liquid metal like the T-1000 where his body just finds itself and merges together.

That reminds me more of the Thing. From the Carpenter movie, not from FF.

They're leg stretches. Start from where his legs are crunched up, and stretch your legs out, trying to reach the last silhouette. Then back again.

If done correctly, it kinda looks like you're riding a bicycle. Which makes Ghost Rider the correct character to do this.

That sounds much more like he's basically Gambit without any control.

Which is not nearly as funny as a guy who turns everything he touches into guns.

Sure you haven't, Bruce :jerkbag:

edit: Although now that I think about (why do I think about this?) I can totally buy that Bruce has never watched one of "those movies". He has his Rogue Gallery for release, after all.

I love that all the people keeping the Avengers, FF and the military busy have the same posture.

Also, I imagine Namor's "We don't have them down there" in the same tone as that guy from Clerks going "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"

Or Superman could catch the gun. But I guess throwing it so that Supes can catch it and still have it look convincing is a bitch to figure out. They should have gotten the guy who used to throw Steve Austin his beer cans, he had perfect aim.

I think that's the trope they mean - where people fire until they're out of ammo and then just ineffectually throw the gun at their target for whatever reason.

(the reason is the gun is useless without bullets in it so why not?)

I hope later on the gun thrower gets his hands on some bullets and has to throw them at Superman too because he's all out of guns.

But if you watch closely, there's a splice right before he throws the gun, meaning they probably did at least two takes. I'm trying to imagine how terrible the end of the first take must have been that the decided to go with the "throw and dodge" version in the final cut.

He probably hit Superman in the first take.

I like that Hulk, he looks monstrous. Three toed and with a frame that's significantly different to just super-roided human.

He kinda looks like my 11-month old son. right down to the color and number of toes.

Tarantula had a gun that fired a sticky nylon line that he used to swing around. I don't know of any earlier characters who had similar abilities. The pulp Spider (Richard Wentworth) carried a thin, strong silk rope that he sometimes called "the Spider's web," but it was just a rope.

Ah, the days when "carry around a strong rope" was considered a superpower.

Honestly, I just love the concept of Super Villains who are just kind of passive aggressive douchebags to the Heroes between heists, instead of just constantly trying to fire their hero hangout into the sun or something.

Like, a Carmen Sandiego who loves inflicting petty grievances on people just as much as stealing landmarks. Tony, the clues are in a print only, wildly out of date world almanac. You are going to have to READ A BOOK, in a public library. instead of googling poo poo.

This is what I like about Doctor Doom. He has a job outside of being a dick to the FF. Sure, on that job he can do petty things like introduce a mandatory "I hate Reed Richards"-day for all Latveria, but he is not constantly plotting against the FF.


Oh who am I kidding, he totally is.
