Len posted:The end of that story arc can easily go in the touching panels thread. Six Pack was a goddamn champ. I also always saw his fate as an indicator that Tommy's dream from the final storyline is a premonition about his afterlife and not just a dream. In that dream, Tommy's having a good time with all of his friends who had died throughout the series, but Six Pack is missing. As far as Tommy knows, Six Pack is dead, so if it was merely a dream, he should have been in the crowd.

Speaking of Thunderbolts, this is from Thunderbolts #22. The Thunderbolts are in Hell and have made a pact with Mephisto. In a contract overseen by Red Leader, it's agreed that if they can topple the current ruler of Hell and give it back to Mephisto, he'll send them home and also pull down Mercy, a powerful and insane being they really need to get rid of. Turns out the latest ruler of Hell is Strong Guy, but a deal's a deal and Red Hulk gets him to step down. Between bringing in Mercy and Deadpool's antics, Hell suddenly becomes a chaotic mess and Mephisto is none too pleased.    Charles Soule's Thunderbolts: where even the weaselly brain is a badass.

Senor Candle posted:It was a portal to heaven so he could get a feather off an Angel for his hat. That happened in the last issue. This caused a bunch of angels to invade Hell as they chased Deadpool, causing more headaches for Mephisto. The best part is that when they return to Earth, they find Frank Castle broken and bloody due to a fight with Mercy, moments from death. The angel feather magically heals him and Deadpool's all, "Wait, why would an angel feather help Castle? What's he got to do with angels?" "I don't want to talk about it."

McSpanky posted:The MM DLC that added his arcade ending mentions him faking his death or going into hiding as the Atlantean archivist so it doesn't really contradict what we saw in his Year One appearance. Exactly. In the comic, he's melted by heat vision and his remains fall into the ocean. His in-game storyline is that he's been living in secret in the form of Aquaman's advisor in Atlantis. It fits pretty well.

From Red Lanterns #34. The Soule run began with Guy Gardner taking over the Red Lanterns by defeating Atrocitus and stealing his ring. Guy then used the Red Lanterns as a force of good while Dex-Star found Atrocitus a new ring. The two factions went to war and in the latest arc, Atrocitus attacked Earth and then used the fear-based hatred to induct a few dozen Red Lanterns. Long story short, they were all knocked out. Also, two members of Guy's team got killed off.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time #3 is pretty drat awesome. The Turtles end up on a pirate ship during a battle between a group of honorable pirates (who claim to get their money through more legitimate means) and a group of evil pirates with more advanced weaponry. Those guys work for a being known as the Kraken, which turns out to be Krang, using them to help keep the location of his island hideout safely guarded. The Turtles ward off the Kraken's pirates for a bit and the unnamed good pirate captain talks about finding the coast and laying low to keep safe. Michelangelo gives a big speech about how running away is a bad plan and gets the crew so hyped that they make him the new captain as they try to find the Kraken's crew and fight them head-on. Later on, Mikey and the original captain hash it out.   The two pirate crews go at it and the Kraken's guy has a laser pistol.

Lurdiak posted:Not that I mind Scorpion being a hero, buy wasn't one of the results of the hosed up time shenanigans of the previous game that he never learned the truth about his family's death and never got his redemptive arc? According to the issue's dialogue, the Netherrealm War (MK4's story) happened. While the details are unknown, Kenshi was able to get through to Scorpion and help him regain his humanity. Scorpion's been seeking out other warriors who lost their families during the Netherrealm War so that he can rebuild the Shirai Ryu and help these people the way Kenshi helped him. Scorpion also walks around maskless, but with a human face.

Superman was mind-controlled and thought Batman was one of his villains. Batman was horribly injured, though probably not as much as he should have been. Also, if you count it, the first issue of Irredeemable had the Batman knockoff get toasted by the Plutonian's heat vision easily.

One of the neat things is that she actually did dress as a Suicide Girl because that's what she looks like in the game. And it looks dumb in comic form. So they had a scene to explain why she went back to her classic attire that actually made sense and pushed the story forward. Crowetron posted:Wait, what's the trick?

Most of Mortal Kombat X #8 could be in this thread, but I had to cut it down a bit. The background is that after Shao Kahn died in the last game, the throne of Outworld was soon taken over by Kotal Kahn (no relation. "Kahn" appears to be more of a title than a name). He did this by dethroning Mileena, Shao's "rightful heir." Unlike Shao Kahn and all the other emperor characters in Mortal Kombat, Kotal Kahn is actually portrayed as more of a champion to the weak and is in fact a leader you can get behind, even if he is into drinking the blood of his enemies and eating their hearts. He sent Goro to go hunt down Mileena and finish her off, but Goro instead betrayed Kotal, joined with Mileena's side and killed a bunch of Kotal's warriors, including Kotal's father. Now Kotal's out to get revenge, riding through the desert on a dinosaur alone. When Rain tries to blot out the sun with clouds and cut off Kotal's power, Kotal summons a beam of intense sunlight right into him, frying Rain to a crisp. He kills some of Goro's men with ease, then demands a piece of Goro.        And yes, Kotal Kahn has his very own Master Blaster on the payroll.

AnonSpore posted:...Goro didn't explain why he's serving Mileena, that was such a non-answer It was explained in an earlier issue. Mileena told him that if he joined her side she'd help his race regain their past glory, which I guess means that the Shokan would be the top race in her empire. Plus when Goro was killing Kotal's father, he explained, "Your son sent the Prince of Shokan into the desert to hunt rats... I AM NO MAN'S RATCATCHER!"' Even without that, the dialogue in the pages I posted makes it pretty clear Goro plans to kill Mileena instead of serve under her. That's even a plot point earlier in the issue where Reiko more or less tells her, "Goro's probably going to try and kill you. Let's let them kill each other and if either survives, I'll take care of it later."

KayTee posted:I picked up issue 1 of Mortal Kombat and thought it was pretty boring tripe. Should I have stuck with it? I like it because I genuinely love Mortal Kombat's crazy-rear end mythology. The Kotal Kahn arc (which would be the third print issue) was good fun, even if the art took a dive due to fill-ins and the creative team gets Mayan and Aztec culture mixed up. On the subject, a few weeks ago, I ranked every single Mortal Kombat character. And since I go worst to best, it begins with... 404GoonNotFound posted:Man, gently caress Reiko.
