I'm not sure why DC would be up in arms at a pastiche of the JL being portrayed as more moral and hopeful than some of Marvel's greatest characters. What's next, DiDio suing for slander after Bendis names him the world's greatest lover?

In Ruins everything sucks because Warren Ellis is an immature shithead wherever capes are concerned.

Oh come on, it's not like he's Garth Ennis. Ellis is a snide shithead wherever capes are concerned. But sometimes that works! Like Thunderbolts, and other stuff I can't remember but probably exists.

I'm sure editorial didn't want Starlord pushed at all either.

I honestly think Star-Lord would have a bigger role than "comic relief pilot who has a Deus Ex Tree in his back pocket" if his placement in the story was a big cross-branding editorial push.

It's amazing and I love it. The actual action isn't that good at all and the dialogue before it is cringy(although they are the bad guys so what they're saying is presented in a negative light) but the quip at the end does it for me. It reminds me of a Protomen song.

All you wounded, those of you who can, pick yourselves off the ground, hurry back, tell your leader YOU'LL NEED MORE MEN!

You should be ashamed for associating the Protomen with that loving schlock.

Did somebody say principled Jameson? Here's Ultimate JJJ turning down a story that Betty Brant is trying to sell him about the new Spider-Man's identity. (She's wrong, btw, she thinks it's Miles' dad).



Ultimate Spider-Man #16.1



Here's the follow up later. Venom shows up and kills Brant before she can get someone else to print the story and naturally the cops come knocking on Jonah's door.







Ultimate Spider-Man #19


I never quite understood what the last panel of the second to last of these pages was trying to convey. Is Jonah realizing he should have bought the story off Brant and buried it in his vault to keep her from going to sell it somewhere else?

There is a very real difference between violence where the horrific, logical outcome is obscured or glossed over as a means to drive the story forward, and violence where the horrific, logical outcome is lovingly rendered and serves as the end point of the story.

'Lovingly rendered' is a bit much. It's not like this is a Kirkman book; Hawkeye did not jam two arrows into a man's gullet and rip them out sideways in an explosion of blood and sinew that would make Freddy Kreuger blush.

One thing you learn real quick playing Mirror's Edge is that Faith Connors is arbitrarily superhuman. She looks like she weighs about sixty pounds but can deliver an out-to-in crescent kick that can shatter a safety helmet, and is effectively invincible as long as she's moving fast enough.
