Warpath of X-Force started as one of the Hellions. They were a villain/rival team to the New Mutants in the 80s.

Is Miracleman readable or just iconic?

Like I know people say it's IMPORTANT, but would I actually enjoy reading it if my favorite stories are 80s X-Books and the JLE/JLA?

Is there a good way of getting a collection or reprints at this point?

Didn't Marvel stop reprinting it because of *issues*?

Amazon has some hardcover trades for like $20.

The Flash doesn't spend 100% of his time running at light speed and solving all crime in Gotham because that would suck.

That was a real good issue of The Kingdom though.

I was reading old Legion comics last night and he'd had the costume since the 70s. I didn't know if the schizophrenia was a new thing though.

I should read more Legion. With 50 years of story, what do I need to read to understand it?

Just start with Mark Waid's run. It was designed explicitly as a way to get people onto Legion without having to worry about the decades of cruft. If you like that, then you can start poking around Legion history.

1994 Waid run or 2004 Waid run?

I wish I knew more about DC, I do like the Flash but have read so little. I know Flashpoint is one time that a Flash rewrote time but what are some other times?

I don't know about changing time, but it was a Flash story that started the whole DC Multiverse mess.

Are there any good examples of character with powers who aren't superheroes or supervillains? So they're a mutant or get powers and are like 'yeah gently caress fighting crime I'm just going to use my flying for the commute' or they have a normal job that they use their ability for, like Pyro deciding just to be a fireman for instance.

Various powered folk have worked for Damage Control in the Marvel universe from time to time.

Speaking of the HE, it seems like Wundagore has no much happening on it that it should have a welcome center and strip mall. Am I mistaken? It seems like New York and Wundagore are the most-trafficked areas in Marvel.

While we're at it is there a crossover that is considered "the best"? Obviously the Clone Saga is out it's too good but otherwise anything from DC or Marvel?

The discussion of Fabian Nicieza as being very Fabian Nicieza in the Marvel thread made me think. Boil down writers into a couple sentences for me. Ex: Tom King is misery porn, Waid is dense continuity.

There was some talk in the BSS movie thread about the She-Hulk series and how Jennifer Walters became She-Hulk which made me think of something that I may have completely wrong. Am I right in thinking that in one of the She-Hulk runs there is a story where people from a different dimension (can't remember which one) travel to the 616 dimension as a sort of holiday. At the same time Jennifer loses her ability to turn into She-Hulk so she decides to go to the other dimension on a permanent basis while the Jennifer Walters from that dimension takes her place in the 616. Did something like that happen or am I making something up from bits and pieces I've read?

The Alt universe stuff is from Slotts good run. I don’t remember the swap but it wouldn’t surprise me.
