I mean, I'll wait a day or two from now on, but a week seems a bit much unless Taters or Waterhaul wants to make a ruling on the subject.

ANYWAY, just to repost it for the new thread, here's probably my favorite comic ever. A lot of people say the most recent Ghost Rider run was bad... and for the most part they're right, but #7 and 8, where GR (who is a girl in this run) and depowered Johnny Blaze team up with Hawkeye are simply wonderful. So they're fighting Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance, two ridiculous old Ghost Rider enemies...




(Then they get captured)



from Ghost Rider #8, obviously

I love how he has all these spider based abilities, and then out of loving nowhere he has precognition. Because that is what it is, it's not like he has some sort of hyper-sense subconscious understanding of danger about to happen or some such. Nope, he's just flat out psychic. Dude knew when Thanos killed half of all life. Why? Spider radiation makes you magic.

I figure Stan Lee had tried to kill a spider the day before, but the little guy kept dodging his attacks.

Well in WCA it makes sense as he is not Tony but Jim Rhodes

Nope, that's Tony Stark. Rhodey never wore the "Silver Centurion" armor. This was the armor that was the first Tony had worn since giving the job to Rhodey[1] -- he used it in Iron Man #200 to beat Obadiah Stane[2]. And he was pretending to not be Tony Stark at the beginning of WCA, although that didn't last too long.




[1] Not technically the first since giving the job to Rhodey. He had to put on an old set briefly to help Rhodey, who was having mental problems as a side effect of wearing the suit.

[2] Iron Man #200 wasn't published until after West Coast Avengers got started, but it's one of those "the events in this issue occur before West Coast Avengers #1" situations.

Just out of interest, would this have been before or after the Jim Shooter run on Avengers where Wonder Man was perpetually crippled by his self-doubt and fear of dying (again)?

This is definitely in the near vicinity of that. Then Simon gets over his self-doubt and becomes an enormous rear end in a top hat with a horrific costume.



(This picture actually makes it look not-so-bad. I never cared for the art in West Coast Avengers; it all looked unpleasant to me.)

I don't know why you consider these funny; I find those panels rather depressing, especially the little guy.


This gentleman knows what's what. Secret Six was one of the better DC series pre-52, in my opinion. If dark humor and a bunch of villains (who are all great characters) stuck in the same group constantly squabbling between each other is something you'd be interested on, you should track that series down.

Hey, funny panels:



No idea on what issue this is from, but hey, it's Dum Dum wearing his fedora underneath a space helmet! Wacky, but stupidly in-character, too.

I always thought it was a bowler, not a fedora. It sure looks bowler-ific. (Fedoras have a wider brim and a dent in the top of the hat.)

I like how the old comic is still refusing to keep up with the times and keeping JJJ as a crusty old newspaper editor behind an old desk.

Other Spiderman comics have updated him to a a logical modern version of him as an angry public multiMedia Mogul, like Rupert Murdoch, which is a brilliant update.

But this version, yep, Stan Lee's not changing, no sir.

People who read newspapers (where that strip is printed) probably have no problem with JJJ's job situation.

In the earliest Stan Lee comic (pre-FF #1) to mention the idea of a community of mutants, they were all telepaths, and I think that sticks a little bit into the Silver Age. Magneto definitely could just control minds at first, and then they tied it into his magnetism powers later, and eventually just sort of stopped using it.

I believe Magneto had telepathic powers that he used for locating mutants in the very early days.

(The Sub-Mariner also had the ability to shoot electricity. (Like an electric eel.))

Is it just me, or is Superman doing a smug "yeah, I'm a badass" thing with his face in the first panel? Is that a new-52 thing? I'm not a big Superman fan, but when I do like him, it's when "smug" is the farthest thing from his mind.

Senior Woodchuck posted:

Which is really dumb, because Batman's problem wasn't with Green Lanterns. Batman's problem was with Guy, because Guy is an rear end in a top hat.

Batman was also being pretty rear end in a top hat-ish at the time. Although that might be hindsight speaking, because Guy's Awesomeness Factor has increased pretty dramatically since ye olden dayes.

I'm pretty sure Cap could get reasonably drunk. I don't think his metabolism works quite fast enough to purge toxins from him as fast as Logan's does. The movie exaggerated it a bit, I believe, though I can't check the OHOTMU (Marvel wiki be damned) at work.

Ultimate Cap's probably got something to do with whatever is in the movie. His immune system is strong enough to beat HIV and vampirism.

VVVV The HIV test never occurred in-comic -- it was part of the "look how badass he is" build-up at the beginning of Ultimates 1.
