Whatever happened to Morrison's 'secondary mutations' anyway?

Waterhaul posted:

This isn't even remotely true, excuding the inital Xorn reversal pretty much everything else has stuck and with the exception of Bendis (and only because I quit on his run) pretty much every main X-Men writer has said Morrison has been their main influence.

New X-Men very specifically had costumes though, that's a burn against the movies

Cyclops was always my favorite X-Man. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, yet all rear end in a top hat all the time.

If I remember correctly, it's because Kitty "no fun" Pride was in control of hiring. Logan was basically spending all his time trying to raise cash to keep the school running.

Sadly, the issue becomes something else besides super pigs a couple pages later.

Sensation Comics 22

Fake edit: Crap, forgot to edit out the black bars. Oh well, they don't look that bad.

Picked up the first issue for free then went insane and bought the rest. It's pretty enjoyable.

Guy Gardner, like most of the non-Hal GLs, didn't really begin that way. He was a social worker who got the ring and was presented as an equal choice to Hal, it was just that Hal was closer to Abin Sur when the call went out. A series of "Hal fucks up" left him in a coma with brain damage and that, plus Hal being an rear end in a top hat, lead to Guy being gradually written as more of a dick. JLI really solidified the dude as "giant rear end in a top hat" but he wasn't initially that.

Don't you technically take brain damage any time you're knocked unconscious by a physical jolt?

Were there any similarly-high profile Cool People rocking the jheri curl, or did that one just sort of coalesce out of the ether one day?

Kitty also had wrist-blades made from Wolverine's discarded bone claws in the late 1990s for a short time.

I'm not a big comics fan, but has there ever been a comic mini-series all about a protagonist getting caught up in all of these dumb secret infiltrator conspiracies colliding into each other, so you end up with SHIELD agents that are secretly Hydra infiltrators who are secretly Skrulls being backstabbed by a skrull that's secretly a Doombot etc. until the climax is one big clusterfuck of reveals that makes the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 look sane and uncomplicated?

It's the genre. They call it "Adult Coloring" so people don't look down on you or something.

She's fully clothed. Are you sure that's actually porn you've been watching?

Squizzle posted:

The actually idiotic thing is that the coloring book cover image is colored exclusively in low-effort computer gradients. That doesn't scream "hey grab some crayons and go town" to me.

Of all the Batman villains, Joker probably cares the most about the perception of his crimes.

DoctorWhat posted:

Yeah, like the Joker doesn't have some deeply-held anti-racist beliefs. He doesn't have ANY beliefs, really.

But he's a sick, evil artist and he wants people to Get The Joke.

In an earlier storyline (the first Ennis Punisher?), the Russian was a very large, very tough, not very bright guy who beat the poo poo out of Frank until he eventually outsmarted him. (Think about Oddjob or Jaws from the James Bond movies. Guys where you hit 'em with gold bricks and they don't give a poo poo.) I think explosives were involved. He might have been entirely decapitated, which is why he's undergone so much physical change since his previous appearance. (Note the stitches and pipes and wires connecting head to torso.)

Ferrule posted:

Not to mention how tough it would be, once Frank was in custody, to prosecute him. He doesn't leave a lot of evidence behind*. And what, some spider guy in a mask (who is also a wanted criminal when the story demands) is going to testify?


* sure, shell casings and dead bodies. but dead bodies don't talk and I'm sure Frank, after all this time, is rather careful with regards to prints and linking rounds to weapons and so on.

I don't think I've seen Nick Fury go through a door. He's always either doing a dramatic entrance, emerging from the shadows, or just already in the scene.

I think he was just making a joke that if there were a different drinking contest in mythology that involved Thor ending up drinking Loki's piss it would be perfectly in character for all involved.
