As a Canadian, I have never seen a black squirrel, and was entirely unaware of their status as "a Canadian thing." They must not like the prairies.

Sheesh, last time I saw Kubik was an older Avengers issue with Buscema / Palmer art, he looked like a metal version of Marvin the Martian.

It was a pretty weird issue with Steve Rogers as The Captain (the black suit/motorcycle phase) being called to help Dr. Druid's Avengers who were all beaten by the Super Adaptoid, who lured Kubik to Earth so he could copy his reality-altering powers.

Steve literally beats the most powerful being on Earth (at that time) using nothing but logic and exploiting Super-Adaptoid's stupid artificial ego.

It's also revealed that the Super-Adaptoid's powers were literally drawn from a sliver of the original Cosmic Cube, which Kubik removes and replaces back within himself after the fighting's over.

Then we get to the Cates run. Cates' whole deal appears to be, "I've read every Venom story and I don't think we've scratched the surface on the symbiote concept. In order to tell this story, I'm going to have to stack retcon onto retcon onto retcon." He's handwaved away things like Eddie's cancer and the idea that Eddie had a sister. He also introduced Knull, God of the Symbiotes and makes it apparent that the symbiotes are absolutely bad news. All that poo poo from Guardians of the Galaxy was an illusion and the team was unknowingly inside a giant, nightmarish planet-sized symbiote ball. The only real hope for a symbiote to not be a vicious hellbeast is to be away from Knull's mental grasp for long enough.

What If? the Fantastic Four were the Marvel Bullpen. That’s Flo Steinberg. Kirby is the Thing, Lee is Mr Fantastic, and I can’t remember who was Human Torch.

Also the Marvel Age comics had a calendar on the last page in '92 and January was just everyone happy Rick Jones was dead:

This is your annual reminder that Miles Morales canonically saved the multiverse by hiding a cheeseburger in his spider-pants for a week.

Why is Hulk wearing Strange's cloak? I mean, levitating Hulk, sure, but still.

Hulk and Namor at least gotta be pretty recognizable. Also he's not in those panels but Silver Surfer is usually in The Defenders if those three are at the moment.

I'm kind of annoyed that Urasawa's stuff isn't available digitally. There are still some weird gaps, like the Akira manga also is only available physically.

Reminded me of this strip about shopping in Japan from Mary Cagle's "Let's Speak English" (linking because I don't know this thread's policy on posting webcomics).

I really don't get that last image. Are... are his pants some kind of tights that he pulls up? Is the belly portion of the armor separate than the chest and cod pieces?

God Stan Lee fuckin loved transistors. And I always loved when there was a scene where Iron Man had to recharge so he would just straight up plug his armor into a wall socket.

Every time some background gag like that or the Batman-themed restaurant from Tom King's Batman run pops up it makes me wonder about how and what kinds of superhero entertainment would exist in-universe. Like I could definitely see a show like TTG that lampoons superheroes existing (clearly some gags like the time travel murder would have to change) while stuff like BTAS that features Batman's secret identity couldn't. There could be plenty of merch since most heroes are secret and can't trademark their symbols/logos.

Wasn't there a whole "too many avengers" thing when all the heroes came back after Onslaught when Avengers relaunched. I remember reading something where they keep bumping into each other trying to stop a bank robbery.

Superboy #116 (1964)

quote:

Synopsis for "Superboy, King of the Wolf-Pack!"

When executioners from the warlike world of Subaat come looking for refugees under Superboy's protection, he transforms his charges into wolves, pretends to have become a "wolf-lad" due to Indian magic, and keeps up the masquerade until the executioners have left.

Honestly, I'd say the Punisher is the most fitting superhero to have a legacy where when the current Punisher falls, somebody else picks up the mantle.
