Great, I look forward to Herc being a c-list comic relief that shows up whenever Greg Pak has some free time again or somebody needs a beefy bisexual guy for a gay joke. Hoo-ray.

I like how loving Spider-Man is okay with such a petty and vindictive of superpowers.

With great power comes great dickishness.

I'm ambivalent about the whole 'just draw the character as whatever character you'd cast them as' thing, but Tommy Lee Jones as Norman Osborn is still absolutely perfect. I can hear every single word in his voice.

Isn't "Merc for Money" kind of redundant? Like, the only thing separating a Mercenary from a Serial Killer is that a merc gets paid.

Hey man, some people get into mercing for the love of the game.

He was sad because he didn't do it first.

He owned the insurance company that was going to have to pay out to all of the victims.

It was a malfunctioning Doombot.

He was the more recent incarnation of Doom that is trying to be a "good person".

Take your pick.

The Latverian Embassy was in the WTC, and he was mourning the loss of all the Doombots who staffed it.

Flintstones #2



So 'crap' is the origin of animals used as household appliances. The major religion in Bedrock worships animals, so the sudden perception of them as vacuum cleaners and record players is a problem.



It's almost disconcerting to see this comic pull a goofy 'Eh, it's a living!' joke like the original Flintstones.

I like the line, but like...how does that result in anything but Black Bolt proceeding to scream and dissolving Hulk from reality?

I'm guessing the Hulk has enough strength to hold Black Bolt's jaw shut if he lays hands on him, and at that point it's down to whether or not Black Bolt would (or even can) blow off his own jaw to scream the hulk into his constituent atoms.

It kind of did. Especially when all the smartest people on earth all tried to just out brute force the Hulk instead of just shunting him off to the negative zone or the planes of ghenna or wherever the gently caress they're sending mega-villains to chill until the plot requires them these days.

Pretty sure "let's just shunt the Hulk off somewhere harmless" is how they got into that mess in the first place.

Exactly my thoughts. If you look at that panel and get this out of it:


You're either really misreading it or just desperately looking too deep for something to make a stink about.

In a vacuum I'd say it was about a dude saying "TO ME, MY BIRD". In the context of this being the same guy who wrote this:

Mostly. Still less of a joke but more light-hearted, still has a lot of modern weapons because why not. He goes to a gay club with Iceman to act as wingman (along with the rest of the Champions).

It's the latest issue of "Batman". I only subscribe to "Superman" and "Batman", so I can't say to how good the other titles are.

Superman is basically the adventures of Clark, Lois and their kid, Jon.

Batman has been shaping up good too, and this latest one... I just really like how they're going with Clark and Bruce aren't just friendly, but actually good friends. There's real admiration for each other and also each wanting approval from the other. And they just *get* each other.

Also, I think it was last year(?) there were some issues of Clark and Bruce forcing Damien and Jon to work together to solve problems. The relationship between Damien and Jon is good and funny too.

Batman and Superman's relationship also led to the single best page since the Rebirth Era has started.



That's the Batman outfit from the Batman/Planetary crossover, isn't it. That's rad.

Sorry, we now have to change the name of all things used by people we disagree with. Because that's the reasonable thing to do, not "Continue doing what we were before and not letting the actions of a minority affect the world thus giving them more power."

We should absolutely let the actions of minorities change the world, giving them more power.

We should stop thinking of Nazis as minorities, and properly recognize them as enemies of humanity.

The new Batman run is really cute and good.

In the latest issue, Batman, Catwoman, Superman, and Lois go on a double date to a carnival on superhero night.

(spoilered because it's still a new issue)

They don't want to wear their actual costumes because they're afraid they'll be recognized, so they trade costumes.There's a lot of hijinks involved, but the important thing to know is that everyone at the carnival is dressed up as a superhero.

Toward the end of the night, a thief darts out of the crowd and steals Lois' wallet:



I about died laughing.

In case anyone doesn't get it: the thief is dressed as The Question, who was created by Steve Ditko, who was a hardcore Objectivist. The thing he's shouting is a quote from Ayn Rand.

Please tell me the next panel is the actual Question clotheslining that dude and saying "Yes, I am."
