That's not Elsa, it's the main character, Beth Ross, accidentally frying her hair back when she worked at the corn dog restaurant shown in this panel. The event was caught on video and went viral, which thanks to other shenanigans is how she ended up becoming president.

Gwenpool is basically a kid playing a video game; she doesn't care about the character's unless she has time to get to know them and they are decently written, and "badguys" are supposed to be canon fodder. She also doesn't expect any real consequences for her actions, assuming the narrative will twist to allow whatever she wants to do in the moment. She's slowly learning that is not the case.

Astribulus posted:The second panel is in direct reference to New Mutants #64. That issue takes place immediately after the death of Doug Ramsey (Cypher, the one commenting about "The first New Mutant to die"). Warlock, being a techno-organic alien who is still getting used to life on earth, doesn't really understand how death works for humans. He's desperate to try to fix his friend, culminating in stealing Doug's body. He wears Doug around taking him to the people and places he cares about in a terrible, innocent attempt to convince Doug to come back. It's heartbreakingly tragic, and its nice that Warlock can joke about it in retrospect. Thanks for this. I had assumed Warlock's comment was a reference to how Bobby wore him as battle armor in the previous issues.

Superstring posted:Do characters in-universe comment at all about how Superman died and suddenly there's a new one running around and that's kinda fishy? Or do they think it's the same guy? The Justice Leage at least know he's a different guy from an alternate world. In fact, the Trinity comic kicked off with Batman and Wonder Woman attempting to get to know this new (from their perspective) Clark and his family better.

Cleretic posted:So how much of that Jimmy Olsen series about him being essentially the only guy in a light-hearted superhero comic that can recognize how horrible the things that happen are? There's some real potential here. Surprisingly little, though he does frequently recognize how terrible his own life is. Bucnasti posted:Why is Negative Woman canvasing in the background? I think that was a throwback to an earlier joke showing past disaster's "caused" by Jimmy where he's surrounded by similar googly-eyed and bandaged people. It's never explained. Tried to post the page, but having trouble getting imgur to work.

Also, this isn't a Clueless/Cruel Intentions type thing where someone was adopted when they were teenagers or whatever, Nightcrawler was raised by her mother since they were both babies. In fact, I believe that stint as a flight attendant job was part of the disguise.

thetoughestbean posted:They let him wear the mask because if it became officially known that he was Matt Murdock a bunch of cases would have to be thrown out and that’s the most Daredevil thing ever It was more because of precedent set in the MU after judges allowed vigilante witnesses to testify without revealing their identities. Though despite this being allowed, the DA insisted on seeing him without the mask, after which concerns about Matt's previous cases certainly played a roll in keeping his mouth shut.

Taking advantage of the nice weather is really destroying my video games and comic books time. It is, and that writer even posts in the forums on occasion. Very good series. The mini is extending the fun "Iron Cat" concept, while further exploring Felicia's past that had been hinted at previously.

Elissimpark posted:Why would you build a DIY Celestial? It seems about a good idea as inviting Galactus around for dinner. Druig is leading the Eternals, and to shore up his power is using mutants as a political boogie man because they technically count as Deviants (it's noted in the comics that so does a small majority of all life on planet Earth). Because the Eternals are programmed on an instinctual level to combat Excessive Deviation, he's successfully convinced most of the Eternals that Krakoa, with it's immortality and terraforming of Mars, counts. The Eternals two religious leaders, Ajax and Merkari, disagreed, and decided that the quickest way to end the conflict would be to have a Celestial come and personally tell them to cut that poo poo out, but since they can't get hold of any living Celestials, decide to revive the dead one currently being used as the Avenger's base. Granted, they'd already been considering this even before the conflict due to an ongoing crisis of faith caused by the Celstial's increased distancing from the Eternals and questioning of the Celestials motives and methods, and so had wanted to found a new religion by literally making a new God. Because Phastos, the resident science Eternal, correctly called that plan insane, they kidnapped Mr. Sinister to put the plan in action. After the Eternals attacked Krakoa, Tony Stark joins in, partly as a hail mary to prevent a never ending war between two powerful races of immortals, and partly out of (surprise) vanity. Was this a good idea at any level? No. Is it in character for those involved and incredibly entertaining? Hell yes.

Nilbop posted:This drove me absolutely crazy and just stunk of self-indulgent writing, which stunk because I quite like Judgment Day's whole set up of "You're all being judged by an impossible unknowable force, you can't punch your way out of this, it's down to you to be worthy." He didn't castigate the main threat. He argued successfully that the people who could judge him best where his friends and family. And given those are the ones Cyclopes has hurt the most with his flaws, actually makes sense. My only nitpick is that the Celestial didn't bring up Madelyne Pryor. I also think it's silly to assume that Gillen didn't sign off on this development.

Mulva posted:No he just said it. It's a stupid loving argument because it means a pile of terrible people can just be terrible and it's fine, because by their individual standards it's all cool to giant robot man. So basically Purple Man is morally immaculate, but Captain America fails. Given that Emma Frost, Mystique, and Destiny also all failed, I don't think it's that simple. At the very least, I don't see Mystique regretting any of her past actions or failures.

Today's comics showed more of the Judgement process in AXE, including how some of the previous judgements panned out the way they did. I won't spoil, but so far it seems Cyclops passed by calling out the Celestial's gimmick before they had the chance to deploy it.

It's a tiny demon from Limbo who decided to take after Spider-Man after being saved by him, and subsequently buffed up by a custom made symbiote suit. Initially went by Parker-Man, but was told by his villain boss he was "getting it backwards", and so reversed Parker into Rek-Rap.

Dokter Zee is great. See also issue Doctor Strange #4, previously shared in the Badass Panels thread.darthbob88 posted:WAND, Wizardry, Alchemy, and Necromancy Department. Formerly part of SHIELD, but IIRC it's independent now. The lady casting Club is Pandora Peters, the head of WAND, and she's using a baseball bat with "nails from the True Cross" hammered in. Even if the nails are fake, enough people believed to give them power against demons.
