And no, this isn't an edit or anything. One of the ongoing plot points is that Cobra basically takes over a small community, Broca Beach or Boca Beach or something, by slowly moving more and more of their own agents in, buying out local businesses, and what not.

I seem to recall that Cobra had lawyers and diplomats waiting at various embassies to get diplomatic recognition and treaties in place to help prevent the US just steamrolling their new island. I think maybe they even joined the UN but it's been a while.

Looks like Rage and Justice behind them. Almost all the New Warriors showed up and made Darkhawk sit by himself :(

I love Hercules just spreading out as far as possible :allears:

I'm currently in the part of the Thor run where Dr. Blake is working in the poorer part of New York and I'm loving the slang.





Also the Wrecking Crew broke out and they went after what every ex-con wants when they're first out.

MacDonald's.





I laughed at them having to make their food themselves because they didn't really think it through.

Reminds me of The 'Nam and how Stalker talked in early G.I. Joe. Makes sense, being the same company and all.

Also reminds me of watching old prime-time network TV like Quantum Leap or Tour of Duty, where they drop the n-word in historically appropriate ways.

It's like "oval office", which is the second-worst word you can say in the US, but in the UK, they use it all the time. Two countries, separated by a common language.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:

I can't speak for anyone else, but I was given that impression from an interview with Garth Ennis. When asked about the difference between writing for British and American comics, he talked about how editors paid more attention to different things, and specifically called out vocabulary; the quote was, if I'm remembering it correctly, "For example, there's the word 'oval office,' which in America is a word of great and terrible power, and in the UK is punctuation."

This was in the late 90s when Preacher was a thing, so take that for what it's worth.

I think it was Living Hell where the billionaire financier gets himself judged not guilty by reason of insanity, the judge is laughing his rear end off and sends him to Arkham as a “gently caress you, I lost my pension too thanks to you, rear end in a top hat.”

And then Joker locked him in a freezer, he got frostbite, his nose fell off and he filed down his teeth and started calling himself "the great white shark."

I believe it was also strongly suggested to him that he find a big bad, and come to an 'arrangement' for his own protection. So he winds up becoming Two-Face's 'Coin boy.'

It's good stuff. I reread it recently and while it falls apart a little towards the end with the introduction of Etrigan and the literal demons from Hell, the first issue is an especially tight and compelling bit of horror writing in the universe.

Which wasn't bad, all things considered, but I can't not remember that she a) is constantly telling people that she's utterly naked, because she never wears clothes, just shapeshifts herself into looking like she's wearing clothes, and b) goes ahead and disrobes out of her standard PVC pants and halter top for a shower scene anyway.

It looks like it should be out of an Airplane! style film, where she's hanging from a rope and shooting, and a guy walks up, snaps a photo with an old-timey giant flashbulb camera, ducks down out of frame, stands back up with that wanted poster, pastes it on the wall, and walks away, all during the roaring gun battle.

Given that his origin story literally consists of him correctly pointing out that the mission should be scrubbed due to being dangerous, but Sue Storm mocking him for being a coward and letting the commies win the space race, until he gives in and goes anyway, I don't think Ben Grimm was ever depicted as being particularly 'smart.'
