I've been waiting almost fifteen years for a 9-11 Spider-Man joke to be funny, and I haven't found a single one. John Romita Jr is as New York as it gets when it comes to comic books.

Haven't read issue 3 yet, but I really love Wilma in this series. She's got a lot of heart. I also loved the ending with Dino. After all the mammoth dishwashers , and other crap fails to make them happy, Fred returns it all, but can only get store credit. Fred seed Dino, and is told that he's from a discontinued line, and is going to be thrown out. "What's it do?" "Nothing." "I'll take it."

Green Goblin is better than Kingpin and Luthor because he has a legit psychosis that drives him to be a criminal. Lex Luthor was the one pulling a Green Goblin in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. One of the best Spider-Man stories is where Norman finds out Peter's identity. Spidey has a chance to leave Norman to die in a fire, and keep his secret safe, but saves him anyways. Norman gets amnesia, and forgets even being the Green Goblin, but the threat of him remembering hangs over Peter.

SonicRulez posted:That was John. And I found it kinda funny cause he really only says that about Hal, so I take it to mean he totally buys Bats' hype. Guy obviously gets no say in anything Batman related forever. What? Green Lanterns don't buy Batman's poo poo. Guy got one punched, but at least he called him out. And in JLA (maybe Tower of Babel?) Batman is talking to Kyle, and Kyle is sketching Batman with his ring, making him look like a cartoon vampire. John was never in any of the iconic Justice Leagues in the comics, so he never really got much of a chance stand up to Batman, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did at some point. If you want to make your character look cool, just have them clown on Batman.

Bloodly posted:The best way to think of it, as far as I can see, is: They were always the 'Modern Stone Age family'. 'Modern' has changed. Not sure whether to judge it as good or foul. It's just that they don't have to pull their punches like a Cold War era cartoon. While the humor is pretty dark, not unlike Prez, anything with Wilma is usually very heart warming. She's full of art and love, transcending the pitfalls of modern life.

Even though Colossus became Juggernaut by appealing to Cyttorak against Marko when he was controlled by the Serpent. Juggernaut usually takes Colossus or the Thing out in a punch or two. Thor has to pull some magic out of his rear end to stop him. He gets jobbed occasionally, but most of the time the heroes barely survive the encounter.

I have this issue. I love this issue. He went to college with Bruce Wayne and recognizes him by his cologne. I forget the bullshit they used to outsmart him, but he had a cool concept of being the crime eraser; where he'd "erase" the evidence at a crime scene. Really can't believe he hasn't been used in the last twenty years. He's at the top of my list after Batmanga and Morrison used Death Man.
