They're all in different regions, and Doom forbids people to cross regions. So long as the Frank Castle of Arcadia never meets the Frank Castle of Greenland or whatever, then who cares if there are multiples?

Everyone secretly having a double in every country is a pretty amusing premise.

Doom is gonna smoke Ultimate Reed, and it is going to be SO satisfying.

For some reason I took that super literally when I first glanced at it and thought you were saying Doom will use him as a blunt.

If they were going to retcon it anyway, why keep the solar power at all?

But yeah, that he charges up from the sun is a lot more unbelievable. Suspension of disbelief doesn't mean every random idea is equally valid.

Haha so they'll not revive wolverine after all but he'll be some other dimension version? That's actually really clever.

This was Grant Morrison's original idea for bringing back the classic Aquaman, but Blackest Night got in the way.

"It's a refutation of them just finding another solution" is ridiculous when that's exactly what Doom did. Imagine if the Illuminati worked with everyone from the start and kept looking for alternative solutions instead of defaulting to blowing poo poo up.

Okay, just caught up on X-Men '92, and I have to say it might end up being my favorite tie-in of this whole event when all is said and done.

"You can play as Dazzler, but not me?"

That's because the game wasn't based on the cartoon that ended up getting made, but rather, Pryde of the X-Men.

For all the people touting Jason Aaron as a guy who lets his artists draw album covers, I'm not sure how "Two girls with medieval weapons making out while riding a solid steel werewolf that is battling a zombie army from across history in a dystopian wasteland" could be made more metal. So I think Gillen and crew have Aaron beat.

Sorry, it still doesn't beat

Please, if Nick Fury was on the job, there wouldn't have been all this hand-wringing where the Illuminati fight amongst each other about the ethics of world-killing. Fury would've started blowing up planets like the stone-cold bastard he is without a second thought.

It's hilarious that Fury was a gut feeling away from blowing Spider-Man's head off.

If there were 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers filling a complex, and the word "regret" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles, would it equal one one-billionth of the regret you feel at this micro-instant?

I love the man but he cannot draw children. There's a panel with Sue saying something and it took me forever to figure out if it was her or Val.

To be fair, that's a common problem. Val is supposed to be like, three, but everyone draws her as a preteen at least.

Her backstory has a lot to do with time travel and negative zone stuff, right? Boom, anytime someone brings up her age and how she's drawn, there's your answer: Reed Richards saying "It's quite simple, you see, because of all that time fuckery-" and then getting cut off.

You might be mixing up this with another story, I don't remember, but Mike Mayhew traced a portrait of the actual King of Spain and it was going to be used for a House of M cover, then the government of Spain went "hey don't trace a portrait of our king to promote a book about a supervillain taking over the world" and they pulled the cover and apologized and etc.

Here is a New York Post article about it since no comic book website bothers to keep their archive up.

Marvel also had the ghost of Princess Di becoming a member of X-Statix at one point, but changed it to a new character after the backlash.
