One thing I do know is that when Nightcrawler's priest career crumbled, he could always go back upon his lucrative career of making plushies.



Later that night, they're taking a bath together when Nightcrawler is suddenly contacted by Professor X, who orders him to teleport outside and grab Angel's girlfriend, who's been attacked by Morlocks. Nightcrawler complies, dumping her directly into the tub with his adoptive sister/girlfriend.

Who wrote the story about Polaris being Magneto's daughter after all (after multiple previous stories established this was absolutely NOT the case)? Same guy, or was that Chuck Austen?

There have been several. Peter David wrote the most recent one, but Austen did one, too. Austen was also responsible for "The Draco" and the exploding communion wafers story. And the story where Angel and Husk have mid-air sex right above the X-Men and Husk's family.

Chuck Austen's run was terrible, is what I'm saying.

Basically CW 2, yes. Sunspot took a vote if they would rescue Rick Jones from SHIELD's custody by force (violating their charter that forbids them to operate on US soil as New Avengers) , and all except Wiccan, Hulkling, Squirrel Girl and the AIM IT guy voted yes.

And the AIM IT guy meant to vote "no", but he has large fingers.

That's actually from She-Hulk Vol1 Issue 4. She- Hulk's partner is representing Spider-Man pro bono in a lawsuit against JJJ for libel. Spider-Man would have won too but the lawyer decided to include Peter Parker in the lawsuit and Spider-Man ended up settling.

The proper takeaway here is that, in spite of She-Hulk calling him a "great lawyer," Pug is in fact a lovely lawyer.

Guarding the Globe (as that series was eventually retitled) and Invincible Universe were cool, so of course they're gone now because Robert Kirkman can't go a year without some kind of global catastrophe in Invincible.

Okay then. Let's all take a look at Deadpool: Too Soon, because I'm struggling not to just post the whole thing in this thread where it belongs in it's entirety.

Summary, Deadpool calls together Ant Man, Squirrel Girl, Howard the Duck, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Ham, the Punisher, and Forbush Man (for reasons I will not spoil). This is what follows.



Deadpool keeps them from leaving by revealing that he has blackmail material on each and every one of them.

Okay just for the sake of the followup panels for that comic, where would Batman get Stephen Hawking's fighting skills from?

He didn't program in Hawking's fighting skills, he programmed in his entire neuromuscular profile.

He probably didn't get it straight from Hawking; he just wrote up a basic "advanced Lou Gherig's Disease" program.

Slight bit of context: that "racist nutjob" is some sort of Tomi Lahren stand-in who was making the usual talking points of "deport them all" on the previous pages.

Kirby's balls, "compromise" doesn't mean "compromise with racists." It means "don't demand everything right now, learn the value of steady progress."

And yeah, there's definitely an argument to be made against that (King made it excellently in his letter from the Birmingham jail), but interpreting what Sam's saying as "stop caring, let the racists win" is just arrogant, stubborn, willful stupidity.

And while I'm at it, get off my lawn.
