I agree that organic webshooters make sense (and the ways in which they've been differentiated based on character like with Silk's fingertip-shooters make for a fun visual identity), it's just when they're organic you don't have the ability to customize the webs as easily as "Peter invented a new web type that does _____" and you lose the dramatic angle of Spider-Man running out of web-fluid in the heat of the moment, which often leads to some of his best ingenuity.
It's comics, you could make him have some mechanical attachment to his webholes that allows him to change the web's attributes on the fly if you wanted to.

I wish comics just accepted the subtext as text already, let Bats & Supes be bisexual so they can retain their history without hamfistedly revealing it all to be an act like Iceman.

I adore that Ryan North found an actual squirrel themed demon from Norse myth to be the villain for a crossover with Thor.
Calling Ratatoskr is oversimplifying things at best (Norse mythology doesn't really have demons at all), but yeah it's a good fit.

What corner of the MCU would he even be at his best in? I feel like all the casts his concept would work best with are too stone-faced for him (Captain America, Daredevil), while the characters he'd suit tonally are too high-powered for him (Iron Man, maybe Ant-Man).

I suppose if we stretch to the non-Disney-owned Marvel-property movies there's Deadpool and Spider-Man.
He'd probably work best in a TV offering with some tonally appropriate B and C listers showing up. Agents of SHIELD? I haven't watched that so I dunno what its tone is.

I'm imagining that the "IN SPACE" is said in the same tone as the Muppet's sketch of "Pigs...IN SPACE!"

(Or the bit at the end of Mel Brooks History of the World Part 1 where it has "Jews....IN SPACE!")
I dunno what either of those sound like but this is clearly supposed to be one of those voicemail messages where you slot in a snippet about what's going on. Usually there's a brief pause and tone shift between the main message and the module.

Ugh, I know *exactly* what it sounds like but I can't find an example. The point is that it's just "[...]we are unable to assist you at the moment as the Avengers are [x]. To contact your local police department[...]" where [x] can be replaced with a soundbite for whatever's appropriate. IN SPACE. FIGHTING SKRULL INFILTRATORS. CURRENTLY DISBANDED. TEMPORARILY DEAD. And so forth.

You might be the kind of person who would really enjoy a book called The Last Ringbearer. It's presented as a semi-accurate historical adventure fiction from a world where the Lord of the Rings was an almost-totally-inaccurate Gondorian epic poem in the vein of the Song of Roland: bloodthirsty, regressive, lionizing their ancestor's superhuman accomplishments while dehumanizing cultural enemies who were in various ways more sophisticated than them, etc. So the beginning of the book is all "Of course nowadays we all know that the Orcuen people have their own vibrant culture and intellectual traditions and were not really twisted mutants made by Satan in the dawn times of the earth."

(though ironically the book manages to work in its own streaks of the r-word :sigh:)

As I understand it, the author had an English translation made, gave up on getting it printed and sold against the wishes of the Tolkien Estate, and just released it online.
Oh, that reminds me that I've had this book on my hard drive since the translation came out but still haven't read it, I should get on that. Anyway it's available here.

I like the idea of the explosiveness of Gambit's projectiles depending on whichever object he is throwing. In fact, they should retcon his powers, that poo poo with charging stuff with kinetic energy or whatever never made much sense. Make it so that Gambit unleashes each object's individual explosive potential, or opens its connection to explodimension.
These aren't mutually exclusive! Just make it so each object can hold a certain amount of kinetic energy, so a can of beans can be charged further than, say, a playing card. Doesn't even really require retconning, just specifying the bounds of his mutation.

I'm just going to say, reading panels backwards is loving hard as hell, and while I don't want to say don't post manga (that Mitsuboshi Colors sequence was great), don't post 5 double pages of it.
Calling it "backwards" is kinda weird IMO, just because you're used to reading least to right doesn't mean right to left is backwards.

However, sometimes manga translations mirror the pages so they read left to right and sometimes they don't, so it might be good to mention reading direction when posting manga. But that's just, like, my opinion.

I'm pretty sure the Maker brought back a bunch of the Ultimates in... maybe Ewing's Ultimates² series? I forget. Anyway iirc a bunch of them got brought back, turned on Maker, then stole a spaceship and are just drifting somewhere out there.

Also the current Miles story arc revolves around him facing a guy named Ultimatum who has the Ultimate Green Goblin working for him and seems to be restoring people's memories of 1610 for unknown purposes, like they just reminded Aaron Davis that Miles totally (accidentally) killed him.
Oh hey, I'm following that Miles arc, but since I'm reading on Marvel Unlimited I'm a bit behind. Neat concept, will be interesting to see how it plays out. Hadn't realized that version of Goblin was the Ultimate one though, probably because he wasn't all that memorable.
