Wasn't the point in Universe X that there actually wasn't a choice, just a false duality?

Lionheart's reaction in a later book to Captain Britain about this bullshit is worth posting, but I can't remember what exactly it was in.

It's totally a matter of economics. Flipping the pages won't get you enough additional readers to offset the cost of the flip.

Ah yes, comics made by the wrong sort.

The Devil Who Dares ends up being a samurai, but it still works out.

When the issue came out, I remember talking to some people who didn't like the idea because of how simple it was to map. The entire concept was too fitting to be interesting. I sold them on it by explaining the curveball in it all.

"Bullseye is pretty awesome in this."
"Let me guess: he's some kind of ultimate ninja assassin."
"Nope. He's Matt Murdock, an American who's expertly skilled with a rifle."
"If he's Matt Murdock, then who's Daredevil?"
"Some blind Japanese guy."
"Huh."

That set of what-if's had the dumbest overarc instead of The Watcher just going BEHOLD and moving on, but between Daredevil Japan and What If Thor Was Herald To Galactus('s art) it was worth it.

Y'know, I'd read a book about a general contractor for villainous lairs. It's like the costume guy, you gotta have one.

She was also the bride of Dracula back in the early 80's, so there's a precedent for that too

(I think it turned out to be a dream, but that's almost as good)

Nah she straight got Dracula'd. It came out like a year after the Doom/Arcade story so it wasn't even a precedent setting evil ruler falling for Storm moment.

Why is Mister Mustache complaining about Mister Hat's lack of chips when he's just said what he is going to wager?

At the risk of running right into the joke, it's right to left.

Just a reminder The Best Batman Elseworld The Batman Of Arkham is literally about Batman capturing criminals and taking them to Arkham so that cutting edge psychologist Bruce Wayne gives them the care and treatment they need to reenter society.

Killer Croc is his buddy. It loving ruled.

It's amazing how satisfying those pages are when without context they're pointless nonsense.

The very first Conan story ever published is him discussing how hard it is to rule a country and the fact he can't just bisect a motherfucker starting poo poo like the old days.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was a What-If where Swordsman gets effortlessly vaporized by Galactus and that causes Hercules to go berserk and go at him.

So while we're talking about how inaccurate the comics are to the original mythic eddas why isn't anyone complaining about Odin making a murderbot

Odin making a murder machine to circumvent fate only for it to fail miserably is totally in keeping with the eddas.

True, but at the time Killgrave was hopped up on power blockers.

Thanks for establishing your superior taste and rejection of the comics of the perfidious oriental.

Yeah, it's specifically because it's from Japan. Sure thing, Chief.

When it happens so often it's a thread meme, and the only connection is the fact it's manga, it's probably not an objective judge of panel quality that's all I'm saying.

# ¿ Dec 9, 2017 23:05

Mr. Maltose: Feb 16, 2011; The Guffless Girlverine

Yeah okay sure dude.

Edit: like legitimately that was not a specific callout post to you, singular poster Lurdiak and was aimed at the same arc this thread keeps going on every time this poo poo gets posted. I don't have any grudge and wasn't trying to piss off you, specifically. I hosed that up and I'm sorry.

My favorite part of that entire sequence is the final panel. "So Thor Died. Again. It happens a lot actually."

Ultimate Strange was actually in....Ultimate Spider-Man, I think? Except he's completely different from the Ultimatum version, much like half of the characters that show up in Ultimatum god it's so bad in so many different ways.

You really don't remember the last time this idiot conversation happened, when you thought someone called you racist and your defense was that you really really loved Kurosawa movies.

This is honestly a really cool story idea, it's something I could expect Morrison from the 90's to do in Animal Man or Doom Patrol.

It reminds me of the issue of Joe Kelly�s Justice League Elite that had Flash running between two teams faster and faster until he literally passes himself running the opposite way.
