There was actually a Runaways theme song written by one of the Marvel editors a few years ago that they released on the official Marvel site, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find it on youtube (not that I looked past the first page of results), I might have to upload it myself so it might not die completely forgotten.

You can still download it from the Marvel Website.

Sadly not the Nextwave theme song, though.

Is that where Hickman actually got it from? Because that sounds like it could just be a random coincidence, that he chose an alternate form of "Thor" that unconnectedly happened to have also been a misprint once.

Well Slott revisited the 'Peter Palmer' misprint when Peter got mindwiped (again) in Superior Spider-Man and was trying to remember his name.

I don't buy a whole a lot of comics, so I just kind of assumed she was a flying brick like the rest of the characters to use the name.

Yeah, it's actually kind of refreshing to see a legacy character who takes the name but has different powers from the original. Although Kamala was apparently originally supposed to idolise Mr. Fantastic and call herself 'Ms. Fantastic'.

I swear we only recently had the 'is Lockjaw an Inhuman or a dog?' discussion in another thread.

And someone posted this link, which covers most of it.

Basically: Lockjaw is in fact sentient, whether he was originally Inhuman or Incanine is still up in the air, he's happy as the giantest dog. :smugdog:

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?

See, it's my understanding that Female Circumcision is actually a loving terrible thing that should be condemned. But isn't male circumcision much less traumatic? I mean, I'm no doctor & obviously there's questions of consent and stuff, but I don't think it's ever been scientifically confirmed to be traumatic-

Your first exposure to Foreskin Man? It gets better worse.

That issues ends with him giving the baby away to hippies.



Then there's this.





The stupidity is almost beautiful.
Never mind, I guess the author blames his circumcision for being unable to get it up. Which I guess is supposed to justify making a vaguely anti-Semitic comic, somehow?

Also 'Intactivist'? That's the best they could come up with?

Unfortunately Slott then invents a incredibly complicated explanation for the Juggernaut thing, which was a bit of a ho-hum arc in the otherwise very funny and entertaining series.

And then Peter David turned around and re-retconned it, I think.

In all the DC/Marvel crossovers, Thanos never getting a chance to awkwardly mack on Death of The Endless was a real missed opportunity.

I'm fairly certain in at least one Marvel book she cameoed only to leave as soon as Thanos approached her. I can't for the life of me remember what it was, though.

It was and it wasn't. Originally Donald Blake was just the guy with the hammer to become Thor, but then it was retconned into being an identity invented by Odin and Donald Blake was just Thor enchanted to be human and have false memories, and then when they retired the secret identity altogether (because once they'd removed the limitation of having to hold on to the hammer to be Thor it was just an excuse to have Thor slum around Midgard pretending to have Spider-man problems, and therefore useless) whoever wrote that forgot Donald Blake didn't exist at all and made him a separate person to be put on a bus.

Actually JMS explained it as Odin's spell that made Donald Blake not exist any more stopped working with Ragnarök, so he just spontaneously came into existence again as his own being, since Thor was gone.

From my casual internet osmosis knowledge of Deadpool, it does feel like it's at it's some of it's best when he has someone to play off of who can keep up with him, yeah.

Of course I also have a soft spot for Darkhawk (even if I never really kept up with his stuff past his series) so my comic book tastes are pretty dire anyways.

Darkhawk let a crazy hobo (later revealed to be plot relevant) name him, because he knew it was a better name than calling himself "Edge Man" :allears:

The first Darkhawk comic I read was the one where Venom throws the fight out of pity (also my first exposure to Venom). Why do I like this guy?

I think they actually kind of covered this on a comics podcast I think it was part of the secret convergence on infinite podcasts). Basically, the stuff you pick up is likely going to be the benchmark for how you view comics going forward. For example, I picked up Spider-Girl as my entry point, which I'm sure explains a lot for anyone who knows me on this board.

Anyway, on topic: Laura Kinney: Queen of tact.

Also, didn't the aforementioned (non-powered) criminal somehow throw it at him, apparently hard and fast enough for Peter to not only not dodge it but actually daze him in the first place?

You know, not for nothing, but how many people actually read PAD's Aquaman? I see people referring to it as "grimdark," when it really really wasn't. It had the same style and tone as his Hulk run, including funny one-liners.

I liked Pym's characterization in avengers academy, where he has admitted to himself that he's a better administrator and scientist then he is a super hero, and focuses more on behind the scenes research while using the gently caress ups and mental issues in his past to help him keep a group of borderline, troubled kids from letting their own darkness take them over.
