TwoPair posted:Aren't the Asgardians supposed to be actual gods these days? Like, I know the whole super-advanced-aliens thing was their deal for a long long time and it apparently is in the movies, but I thought current comic Thor is a god. What is the difference between super advanced aliens and gods.

WickedHate posted:Thor hearing a prayer from a girl on a far off alien world is what starts the first arc of God of Thunder, and the rest of the story arc shows that they are definitely not just aliens. There are countless other pantheons and "god" is a thing separate from mortals. You just listed something Thor can do, not why that means he is a god and not an alien. The Question IRL posted:Not to forget Gillen's Journey Into Mystery run (and Al Ewing's Loki: Agent of Asguard) where characters are stories that can be rewritten or changed to suit a motivation. Or how they can die and come back with seemingly no recourse, as long as it furthers their tale. You are describing all characters in comics.

Gavok posted:On the last page, that's definitely the Orb with a hood on. I'm guessing the redhead is Oubliette in a less dominatrix-like outfit. We know that Dr. Midas is also a part of this, which explains the use of the Mindless Ones. At the end of the Marvel Boy miniseries, Midas was stranded in their dimension, cornered by a bunch of Mindless Ones and desperately wondered how it was possible to twist this to his advantage. What if it's not a hero but a hero's husband/wife. What a crazy twist that would be.

TwoPair posted:I just realized something that really bothered me about this story is that Emma has her telepathy back when that's something she's not supposed to have post-AvX. DOPPELGANGER, SKRULL, or just Jason Aaron not bothering to keep up with X-titles? YOU DECIDE. (its the last one but it still just irks me) She never lost her telepathy, just like every other character affected by it they just can't control their powers.

I liked Original Sins. Seems like they are going to get a lot of non-Big 2 talent on these. I only recognized Ryan North from the first issue, but Chip Zdarsky is going to be writing/drawing some part later on.

Skwirl posted:I'm a little confused about the having 2 eyes in 1958, didn't he only have one eye back when he was Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos killing Nazis in WW2? From Wikipedia "During his time with the CIA, Fury begins wearing his trademark eyepatch (an issue of Sgt. Fury had revealed that he had taken shrapnel to one eye during the war, which caused him to slowly lose sight in it over the course of years)." So I guess not!

Flameingblack posted:Space Punisher would be a pretty unique way to take him. There's decades of street vigilante Punisher, and other than just telling a really good self-contained story, I don't know what else there is to do with him. Turn him into Frankenstein? Yeah sure buddy. I really liked him in Soule's Thunderbolts. Making him work with a team is great.

Original Sins has been a really satisfying tie in book. I want to see Ryan North do more big stuff. The only real bummer was the Dan Slott JJJ bit at the end of #3 in which JJJ fires someone and promises they'll never work in town again because they found a positive article he wrote about Spider-Man. He then burned the article while admitting he was actually pretty proud of the writing. Is there a single redeeming characteristic about Slott's JJJ?

d00gZ posted:C'mon, guys, it DID tell us who pulled the trigger. It's obviously Old Fury. The only question is why. There is no reason to suspect that he regrets keeping all these secrets and the fact that he is looking for a replacement means he still believes in what he is doing. It would be more likely that he wants the watchers secrets for himself to better accomplish his monster killing.
