While I don't get the hate for lady Thor and have otherwise enjoyed the series so far, stuff like this always makes me roll my eyes.

Exception being that Invincible page with the panel reuse.

Who was hating on the new Thor? I want names, and which of their hands they prefer to have smashed with a hammer.

That's what it looks like. There's also a panel where they colored her boobs yellow, and gave her bare shoulders as if those black lines were the edge of her outfit.

She literally got her new outfit the same day as that panel. It's a good look, check it out.

We need to like, pickle Mark Waid's brain before he starts to lose it and figure out how to program it to generate comic scripts in a perpetual nightmare.

I was telling my friends the other day about how you can expect a certain kind of story from particular writers. Mark Waid's style I could only describe as comics.

I don't have the pages on me, but there's a story in the early 90's about how there can only be one Earth Lantern and rather than destroy a city with their rings, Guy and Hal agree to fight it out powerless. Hal suckerpunches Guy down and Blue Beetle's in the background, laughing his rear end off. Guy springs back up, going, "No one punch... NO ONE PUNCH!" and the fight goes on.

The funniest One Punch moment is still when Hal punched down Batman during Rebirth. Not because Guy was given the Blue Beetle role, but because of the legion of angry Batfans who couldn't accept Batman being punched ever.

Huge Batman fan, but that punch sold me on Hal because someone needs to call Batman out on his poo poo once in a while. Then they have that one issue together in GL where Batman puts on the ring which was nice.

Just to add to the fun: in Ganthet's Tale Hal defeats a renegade GL by flying backward so fast that his ring's green beam gets Doppler shifted down to yellow.

Sounds like a SuperFriends episode where Hal is trapped in a yellow bubble, and they find a way to move it so fast it changes colors.

There was an entire issue about this in Alan Moore's run on Supreme. After proceeding through a succession of scenarios that are as transparent knock-offs of Kirby characters as the title character was of Superman, this scene unfolds:

I loving love how Jack Kirby is deified in a way that only comics can do. Stan Lee gets the movie cameos, but he's never been a god.

Why the hell are Hal and Kyle still allowed to be Green Lanterns? You'd think by now they'd have been ordered to just hand their rings over to Jon, the actually competent one. Hell, give Jon ten rings and let him go full Green Mandarin and there'd be no stopping him.

John Stewart and Jon Stewart are two totally different people.

Boy scout Cyclops said some version of the F bomb. It's funny because he doesn't say stuff like that, and is going insane. You can argue that Scott has been spiraling since the last time Jean died, or it wouldn't be too crazy to say he's been slowly losing it from the beginning.

Yeah. That whole last story arc was about Jean stopping Scott from walking away from Emma and quitting the X-Men. The whole run was pretty much telling readers to quit pining over their great love who they have nothing in common with, and just have crazy sex with another woman.

Someone help me understand why Psylocke (especially Psylocke specifically) is supposed to be attractive.

Look up Olivia Munn as Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse. That's pretty much what everyone imagined Psylocke to look like in the late 80's/early 90's. She was the exotic Asian woman, Jean was the girl next door, Rogue was the southern belle, and Storm was the African goddess.

Bring back the Future Foundation, and put Skaar on the team with the rest of the kids. All the young geniuses, and Skaar like "But what if...we smashed?" And that's the solution to a complex, cosmic problem.

All this Gwenpool talk made me want to re-read so I started re-reading what I had. Then I realized it started as a mini in howard the duck so I read those first. Then I realized howard the duck crossed over with Squirrel girl so I had to re-read those too. The lesson here is, never start re-reading something.

Also, is it just me or is there some kind of parallel "weird" marvel going on with the Howard the Duck - Squirrel Girl - Gwenpool axis going on? It's like they're in their own inter-related universe but not part of the larger one.

Not exactly. They're part of the same family. Similar books tend to stick together, becoming a corner of the larger Marvel universe. You could probably seperate the funny books, but books like New Avengers and All New Wolverine, will remind you that Squirrel Girl is the truth.
