Yes, I can see everything past your first sentence. :\ that is all clearly in the panels.
Why are these universes colliding? I mean, hulk knocks over buildings all the time. Not really something new.

Because the multiverse is dying and those are the last two universes left and they're smashing into each other.

Spider-Man used more or less that defense before (albeit by getting his friends to put on Spider-Man costumes and do Spider-Manny things in court).

Basically, Superman is Clark Kent, not Kal-El. I hate it when people in comics call him by his Kryptonian name and he accepts it. He got that name when he was a day old. It's like saying an adopted kid is defined by where he is born, not where he was raised in.

I actually don't mind it since it gives a hint as to how close he is to the other character. Batman, Wonder Woman, and some others who he's let know his identity can call him Clark. Those who don't have that knowledge but want something a bit more familiar than "Superman" can call him Kal.

That's what happens you beat up people in their 80s.

Hey now, this was after he was de-aged to a baby then re-aged to a younger age than he was, so he was maaaaaaaybe 40ish physically.

The "kid" was actually the mother of those kids.
She dies, but because she was British and Brian Braddock had moved onto the king of the Outworld, he shows up and gives her the same choice he was given. The Sword or the Stone.
She choses the Sword and becomes the new Captain Britain.
She is later renamed to Lionheart, shows up in Claremounts Excalibre run (where she is being mind controlled. 'Natch.)

And after that was into obscurity.
As for why you never heard of this? This was the Avengers run just before Disassembled so she never got a proper run on Avengers.

And yes, those pages were written by Chuck Austin.

Also someone later decided that people who pick the sword are wrong and there's a whole corps of Lionhearts who are all assholes with swords.

That someone would be Claremont, when he created Captain Britain? The whole point is to NOT pick the sword because if you do that you're picking a weapon to hurt people. The amulet is literally the amulet of RIGHT. It's not a hard test. Albeit it's one Austen failed.

No, Claremont made it such that there's a right and a wrong choice. It was later decided that those who made the wrong choice get super powers anyway.

Well, they're doing a show the Saturday night of NYCC a few blocks away if you're going to that.

No, you're thinking of Finn Balor.

But I probably will be cosplaying as Pentagon Jr. that night, so the color scheme will remain the same.

I wish. Not this year but maybe next. NYCC keeps sneaking up on me and with hotel costs there I gotta plan ahead.

For the record, Peter's developed tons of dissolving agents for his own webbing over the years. I'm gonna choose to believe he's being an rear end in a top hat to Luke there.

Or he just doesn't carry it with him and the time it would take him more than an hour of webslinging to get some and get back. (Carrying people is reserved for pretty girls, obviously.)

He has a utility belt! There's no reason he wouldn't carry at least one charge of solvent solution. What if he webs someone to a sewer wall and then there's a rush of water?

He would just pull them off. Spider-Man is stronger than his webs.

I want to watch it, but it seems horribly unnecessary. The comic is already so well-done that it's practically animated.

I like the Star Wars comics, though there's definitely been some bits I didn't care for (everyone wields lightsabers!). I have a hard time with someone saying "Vader doesn't talk like that!" when the number of times he faced a full legion of rebels in the movies was zero.

Hickman put Starlord in because he liked Chris Pratt.

quote:

I always knew Doom's throne was going to be the World Tree, but then, we started going back and forth with the editors and the other creators about who some of the extra people in the raft we're going to be at the "Secret Wars" retreat. The "Guardians" movie had just come out, and we had all seen it, and I knew I wanted to write Star-Lord because Chris Pratt was so good as Peter Quill.

I started thinking about who else I might be interested in from the Guardians, and then I remembered Doom and the World Tree, and just thought it would be cool if at a big moment, the World Tree was brought to life for Groot to become one of the big combatants in the final battle. [Laughs] I just thought it would be fun.

I like how Ribic is drawing Thanos, but Ron Lim is still my definitive Thanos artist.

Pretty sure they just put his mind inside a clone body at the end of that run. Then again, all I really remember from that series was the awesome thing where Ares kept insisting Rhodey was his champion.

This does seem vaguely familiar, but I also only vaguely remember reading that and it was during my pirating days, so I read every piece of garbage available.

Well, I'm a contractor myself. I'm a roofer (Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements) and speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs. Three months ago I was offered a job up in the hills. A beautiful house with tons of property. It was a simple reshingling job, but I was told that if it was finished within a day, my price would be doubled. Then I realized whose house it was. Wilson Fisk's, the gangster.

The money was right, but the risk was too big. I knew who he was, and based on that, I passed the job on to a friend of mine, and that week, the Punisher hit the house. My friend was shot and killed. He wasn't even finished shingling. I'm alive because I knew there were risks involved taking on that particular client. My friend wasn't so lucky. You know, any contractor willing to work for Stark knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to his heart, not his wallet.

BAD WICKEDHATE.
