Personally, I'm not entirely sure what good Sue thinks turning invisible faster is going to do when the monster's already caught her.

If she had been able to turn invisible before the creature grabbed her, she probably could have avoided it.

Maybe it took her several minutes to turn invisible back then.

All the most iconic covers are full of weird unexplained poo poo. Who's the terrified guy Spider-Man is carrying? Why is Superman destroying a car and terrifying everyone? If laser beams and rocket launcher haven't done the trick why does Iceman think that snowballs will - and where the hell is Beast swinging from?

They should include introductory material so you get the backstory behind the cover. :D

People have said that Nick Fury whispered something in Thor's ear that made him unworthy. Is that true? Because it's not up to Thor; it's up to Mjolnir.

God, why do I think Darkhawk was so cool? Most of his actual comics run was getting his rear end kicked, the very first comic of his I read was the one where Venom played dead because he felt SORRY for Darkhawk (who was dying at the time, because loving TOMBSTONE yanked out his plot crystal) :allears: Dramatic battles included Darkhawk taking off his helmet to gross people out with how hideous his off panel bioandroid head was, and also failing when another Darkhawk body guy did the same to him :downs:

But damnit, I still like him. Even though I think he's dead because of Battle Royal ripoff or whatever I didn't really keep track of his appearances after his old series ended with him getting his life back together and not being ALL ANGRY ALL THE TIME.

Hmm, maybe him and Raiden should compare notes.

Wasn't there a Darkhawk mini somewhere in the vicinity of the Abnett-Lanning cosmic stuff? I remember liking it quite a bit. He's not a terrible character.


Then again, my favorite character is Dr. Strange, so what do I know? :v:

Cliff Notes:

That's capital "D" Death, the personification or embodiment of death in the Marvel universe - who just happens to be an attractive woman when not doing the Skeletor look

She and Deadpool met up a little while ago and something about him set her all a flutter

However, her previous suitor is Thanos. You know, the guy who tried to kill everybody to impress her, just so she'd pay attention to him. And it didn't work, she still gave 0 fucks.

Now along comes Deadpool, and suddenly Death is finally interested in someone. And it aint Thanos.

So, through some means or another, (probably an infinity gem) Thanos manages to make it so Deadpool will never die, and thus he will be out of Death's reach forever

Actually, Thanos only killed half of everybody to impress her. :spergin:

(At least, the time I'm thinking of, that's how it went down.)

Oh man, she's so cute. I've got to go talk to her. Aw, but I'm an idiot, and she's the personification of death. I can do this. I can do this. Deep breath. Go Time.
"Hey Death, what's up?"
"..."
Oh God. Oh God. She's not saying anything. Oh, and of course Starfox is here. He just saw the whole thing. He never has any trouble with women. I'm so embarrassed. I wish I was dead. No, no, can't think like that... I wish everyone else was dead....Hey, wait a second...

This is the only panel I've been able to find, from Thor #344.


I think your pic is from Thor #341, when the Sigurd Jarlson identity was first used.

Side note: Is it the artist or the letterer that does sound effects? Because Walt Simonson always seems to have the best ones.

True - they did the covers first then wrote the stories to fit them in the Silver Age, didn't they? Sure, the entire reason the multiverse exists is supposed to be because Infantino drew a cover with both Barry Allen and Jay Garrick and said, "Ha! Write your way out of that one, Gardner!" (He probably did not say this, but he should have.)

It sounds like an improv exercise, and it would probably be a fun idea to do once in a while. Force the normal writers to deal with something they weren't expecting; you might get something brilliant.
