I assume you mean the confirmed bachelor *wink* Rawhide Kid. How controversial was that at the time? Because comparing it to something like Gillen's Young Avengers it's about as salacious as a single piece of dry, white toast.

Metal Loaf posted:It should come as a surprise to absolutely no-one that he originally wanted to make Kitty Pryde a regular character (as Franklin's new live-in governess), but then Excalibur ended and she was put back in the X-Men so he had to come up with something else. I take a small measure of comfort in knowing exactly how a Chris Claremont run on Dr. Who would play out. It almost makes up for the skeeviness of knowing exactly how a Chris Claremont run on Dr. Who would play out.

More of a comics related question than a comics question, but wasn't there a blog or podcast that went through the X-Men books Tom vs JLA style? I always meant to check it out and now I have a bit more free time coming up, but I don't remember the name.

Morrison dropped out after only one or two issues. He was doing it concurrently with Batman and I think Final Crisis (edit: it was 52). They got Keith Giffen to finish the planned 12 issue run, and even had the gumption to call it The Lost Year. That said I don't really remember it. Maybe I never read it? I know I read the Midnighter solo stuff and that was a little uneven in my eyes. HitTheTargets fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Jun 7, 2014 |

I should say that Brubaker's Authority was straight up what got me back into comics, and I still really like it, but it somehow seems like such a generic superhero story. Yes, that's the run where they literally overthrow the American government, but it just lacks that cinematic quality that made Ellis' run so iconic and Quitely's run such a joy to look at when Millar wasn't writing dead baby jokes.

Oh, that might have to do with the fact that Milligan wanted to use Princess Di in the book but had to change her name to avoid offending literally everyone on the planet. Sounds like he went ahead and changed the name of England too, because sure why not?

A decent chunk of their digi-cyber-comics on the internet are good too. Most of them are "if you're into that kinda thing" good like the various tie-ins to Injustice, Arrow, and Batman '66. But there's also anthologies like Adventures of Superman and the upcoming Sensation Comics feat. Wonder Woman.

He had a post-COIE series where he was kinda just a private eye who usually dealt with monster fights. It's pretty forgettable, with the longest arc being an interminable Invasion! crossover about a serial killer who gains the metahuman power to... To loving go inside the internet. I guess it's vaguely notable for setting up the idea that Jim Corrigan & the Spectre are completely distinct entities, but Ostrander is the one who capitalized on that idea by introducing the Wrath of God stuff.

Jack Gladney posted:There's a Fantastic Four in the 60s where Dr. Doom harasses Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. There's also a What If? Stan wrote about the original Marvel office crew becoming the Fantastic Four. Stan has a mustache and Jack is The Thing. Stan's secretary is Invisible Girl because there weren't any other women working there at the time. To be fair, when Flo started there was nobody else, period. Everyone but her and Stan were freelancers.

They went on record saying that only the movies, and for whatever reason the Clone Wars TV show, are canon. So the current status of Dark Horse comicbooks: not canon.

I can think of a time when the angel of death came for Logan's soul, but he fought off the angel and wound up only mostly dead. Fun fact: apparently this happens a lot. The angel was pretty pissed at Logan. Also an alternate Wolverine is killed in Limbo by S'ym during the original Magik story, but I can't recall if it's on panel or just him gloating at regular a Wolverine.

Random Stranger posted:While we're on this, I thought it would be a fun storyline if Loki reversed the enchantment on the hammer and made it so that anyone who was not worthy could wield the hammer. Cue Thor desperately trying to deal with a situation where everybody is carrying around his hammer and causing havoc. If you can't come up with half a dozen cool things to do with that concept then you must not be a comics fan. Let's be real, it would immediately go to Deadpool.

You don't really need much backstory for House of M, partly because it's an alternate reality, and partly because it itself is backstory for a bunch of X-Men stories up through AvX. There's a very important three word phrase in the final issue; you'll know it when you see it.

I'm trying to remember the name of a comic from... maybe a decade ago? It was an indie black-and-white in the vein of Scott Pilgrim or The Amazing Joy Buzzards that was basically about a couple of famous punk rockers raising a family.
