They flipped them because they wanted to appeal a wider audience of mostly kids, and thought it'd limit them if they didn't. Considering people show up roughly monthly to throw a fit about reading manga in the panels threads still, seems pretty reasonable assumption at the time that mercifully has died out.

GPTribefan posted:Also him wearing the ginormous chest plate under his clothes and it not being noticeable. Even when he slimmed it down in the red and gold armor there was no way everyone he saw wouldn’t have noticed. These all have the same answer. Starktech developed the image inducer (what Nightcrawler used during Claremont's run to look normal). Obviously, he was handing them out like candy to those who could afford to pay for them (sorry Morlocks).

Zaodai posted:He doesn't need to copy a player that can hit a shot 100% of the time, he just needs to copy a shot that goes in. His advantage is mechanical perfection. So as long as he could find one instance anywhere of a player hitting a given shot, he can nail that shot every time, because he could recreate the motions identically each time. He needs to copy a shot then use it from where and the height the player shot at though. Same deal with Golf. He can copy the perfect form... but will not know how much power to use to compensate for the course or wind. He'd be a hell of a pitcher though.

Alacron posted:So what's the deal with Cerebus? I only ever see it brought up in passing. Basically it starts as a Conan pastiche for like 20 issues, then delves into this incredibly long, winding epic of a story which Sims said would go for 300 issues. It has some issues, but a lot of fairly interesting thoughts, and then he gets divorced and suddenly an entire issue is just this longform story about how men are the light and women are the void and it just turns into this remarkably bleak story of what if a violent, hedonistic rapist got extremely divorced. All in all, I would recommend, if at all, reading High Society and Church & State and Jaka's Story, then pretending he never got even close to his goal of 300 issues. Short version of the story is after the single issue stuff, Cerberus is invited to a city, manipulated by High Society factions and ends up as prime minister. Fucks around through situations, ends up as Pope, ascends to the Moon, has a 4th wall breaking conversation with a being who tells him, among other things, that he'll die alone, unmourned and unloved. At which point, the country is conquered by a matriarchal society starting the Mothers and Daughters Arc. Cerberus takes a back seat for awhile, as Oscar Wilde shows up to narrate the story of Jaka, which is about a dancer in a tavern, and explores gender roles and suppression of art, and involves an abortion and Rick, the most divorced man of all time. <This is probably where you want to stop> After 2-3 volumes, including the infamous women are voids story, Cerberus comes back, slaughters a bunch of matriarchal soldiers, culminating in a meeting of the minds of all the principal characters and then Cerberus talks directly to Dave Sim, who shows that due to his nature, Cerberus will never be happily married, and is sent to a prison-like bar where he hangs with other bros including Rick. You get two volumes of that and Rick's man-centric version of Christianity, then two volumes of Jaka and Cerberus together again on a journey to prove Dave wrong, and completely loving failing, then two final volumes I didn't read. Here's why I didn't bother finishing (plot synopsis of the last volume). The second and concluding part of "Latter Days", and the conclusion of the series as a whole. In the first 40 pages Cerebus has a dream or vision in which cosmology is seen as a reflection of theology, complete with explanatory footnotes by Sim. Upon waking Cerebus—now incredibly aged, decrepit, pain-wracked, and mildly senile—makes the laborious trek to his writing desk to write down his new revelation. He then hides the manuscript, and it is implied that nobody will find it for two thousand years. Cerebus spends most of the rest of the book trying to persuade his chief of security to admit his son, Shep-Shep, with whom he remembers sharing an idyllic father–son relationship. However, the Sanctuary is under lockdown due to opposition from a new and even more rabidly "feminist-homosexualist" group led by Shep-Shep's mother, whom Cerebus refers to as "New Joanne", which favors such "rights" as pedophilia, zoophilia, juvenile recreational drug use and lesbian motherhood. As a result, social values have undergone a complete breakdown. Cerebus finally goes to bed despairing of seeing his son again, but Shep-Shep manages to sneak into Cerebus's room late that night. Their subsequent conversation shatters Cerebus's last illusions about his son. Shep-Shep has aligned himself with his mother, who has been conducting genetic engineering experiments, partly with knowledge gained from Cirin's earlier experimentation. Cerebus is disgusted and horrified when Shep-Shep shows him the results of one of the experiments, a lion cub with a human baby's head, and explains his mother's plans. As Shep-Shep leaves, Cerebus grabs a knife, intending to kill him, but falls out of bed and breaks his neck, alone, unmourned, and unloved, just as the Judge had predicted. His life flashes before his eyes in a series of flashback panels and his ghost sees many of his old friends and enemies waiting for him in "the Light." Jaka, Bear, and Ham beckon to him, and he eagerly rushes to join them, thinking they are in Heaven, but then he notices the absence of Rick and realizes that the Light may in fact be Hell. He calls out to God for help, but is dragged into the Light nonetheless. But hey, at least early on you get a lot of Groucho as-leader of a nation, which is fun.

Jimmy wants a higher paying job, so goes to job interviews at other newspapers, but all the positions get filled by women. So he dresses as a woman, gets a job at the Daily Planet, tries to gently caress everything up to prove Jimmy's better then any woman, but Superman fixes everything, then everyone reveals they knew it was Jimmy the whole time.
