Baron Bifford posted:What's really stupid about this storyline is how Odin deals with it all. He thinks the new Thor is a thief and doesn't wonder if there is something deeper going on. You can't steal Mjolnir. Yeah, but HE couldn't lift it. Clearly it's the children who are wrong!

Wheat Loaf posted:The weirdest period for Archie was in the 1970s when they allowed Al Hartley to use the characters in Spire Christian Comics, where Archie, Reggie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead and the rest pontificated on how everything was much better back in the 1890s. Not the time Archie and co were spies?

I do like the idea of Frank reading "IRC and Social Networking for Dummies!" solely so he can murder predators. Maybe taking a community computer course beside the nice old lady that got an iPad for Christmas from her granddaughter.

Porcupine-dude's glib response about how many crimes he's doing is a little jarring given what happens next, though. He's robbing the store to pay the ransom on his kids, which is what Urich wanted Jessica to look into: D-list villains' families disappearing.

She's supposed to glide, not actually fly, though most of the time writers treat it as interchangeable. Also, I hope everyone's reading her dialogue with the English accent she had in the motion comic version of the Bendis/Maleev run.

Jerusalem posted:Groo would win, obviously, he's got that dog looking out for his best interests ala the one from Inspector Gadget. Ah, but Conan worked that out before they even officially met, and convinced the dog to be on his side. Like in that one story with the witch. Or the one with the pirate ship. Or the one with the aliens and the grey goo egg. (Conan does this a lot.)

Jerusalem posted:I vaguely recall this storyline, didn't it have a bizarre interlude where all the heroes go home to "relax" for a few hours, which involves their half-naked wives/girlfriends giving them massages and telling them how wonderful they are? That might be worth it if the punchline is a panel of Frank Castle just sitting in front of his gun, scowling.

Bulleteer's line makes me smile, too. That might be what I was recalling. Also fits in nicely with the Gotham Central page posted a few pages back. (The next page has Maggie telling Renee "You should see Wonder Woman!") Grendels Dad posted:So, Conan is Batman? Honestly, having read a bunch of Savage Sword recently? Kinda? A lot of stories rely on Conan outwitting the bad guy, or, like I said, revealing he has allies right under the villain's nose. (And really? No-one batting an eye about the aliens? I seriously mean guys from space, by the way) Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Mar 13, 2015 |

It starts Braniac-does-Hitchhiker's-Guide-To-The-Galaxy, and goes through Blackest Night, and ends with the Teen Titans mashed up with the Universal monsters)

Section Z posted:Batgirl power ranger is pretty okay, and at least Power Girl's costume is just a few tweaks in that It's more Gatchaman Batgirl, and it is pretty good. The Green Lantern design from that line/series was pretty cool too. It's Jade, but reimagined as a blind, Chinese national rock-climber. So the ring gives her construct headphones to give her Daredevil-vision, and she gets the F-Sharp Bell version of the oath. And then there's the arc where Black Lantern Flash is just going around being the Flash/Jesse Quick, Ordinary Undead College Girl.

The bracelets are power limiters, though, because that's, like, DEEP, man.

When Shadow The Hedgehog removed his, it's like, a symbol of black culture throwing off the oppression of white people appropriating their signifiers, man, it's the greatest statement made in the history of ART.

Albuquerque is a phenomenal artist (his covers for Nomad are some of my favourite covers EVER), and the piece is beautifully rendered and is very good at conveying the disquiet and creepiness it's aiming for. It absolutely should not have even been considered for the purpose they were planning on using it for, though. People compared it to the Manara Spider-Woman piece, but it's more like if Marvel got Manara to do a cover for Squirrel Girl. (Or maybe the Thor cover he was going to do before that blew up.)
