So in a few other threads several people had recommended The Vision to other posters and I finally got around to going to my LCS the other day and picked up the first 3 issues and Holy poo poo! Thank you so much! That book is amazing.

Hey - I haven't been to my LCS in a while. When I went yesterday, they were out of Vision #4 & #5. I've added it to my pull list so this won't happen again. But, I'd like to read those two issues before I read #6. Anyone have floppies they'd be willing to sell? I don't like digital, prefer to own full runs, and can't find any (or any reasonably priced, really eBay, 9 bucks for issue 4?) on-line. Or do any of you insiders know if they're being re-printed? Thanks.

I don't follow a lot of news sites and all that so forgive me if this is common knowledge but:

Are there plans for Red Skull? He keeps popping up at the end of every drat book, all these teases, and not a drat thing is happening. It's just dragging on and on and I feel like nothing is going to come of it.

I don't read any x-books anymore. They pop up in other books so I have a vague idea of mutant on-goings.

Are mutant powers pretty much just super-powers now? Like, have they abandoned the whole Bushwacker-Daredevil era thing where some mutants were just really good at violin?

There could certainly be some mutants out there who have non-super powers. But there's fewer mutants overall than there were, the violin player isn't going to show up in a comic book, he'll just go play violin.

Also he'll catch M-Pox and die.

I know there's less now.

The violin player did show up in a book and Bushwacker killed her. This was the 80's though.

Where the narration boxes always red in Vision? I've got a weird theory that we've had a narrator change since the reveal of the original, which would cast doubt on the current foreshadowing.

One issue had the old man neighbor narrating, I believe.

Having read through Civil War for the first time on Unlimited I was curious what other big events are essential reading in everyone's opinion as far as modern Marvel goes? Secret Wars 2 I would imagine and I heard Original Sin was entertaining.

Planet Hulk/World War Hulk got me back into comics. I know some folks aren't fond of the latter entirely.

The Avengers or Peter or someone should have like, a sponsorship program where they give the supervillains looking to reform a helping hand. It's not charity, it's just pragmatism. If you extend the hand of friendship they're less likely to want to punch you in the face.

That middle panel is showing all the possible mutations that Reed and Sue could have undergone. It was possible Reed could have turned into Thing or Man Thing. Sue could have been metallic or fire.

Reminds me of the awesome What If? (vol2, #11) The Fantastic Four All Had The Same Power? Four separate short stories for each power and for the thing one Sue is Man-Thing.

I have a Venom question:

why does the symbiote want to eat brains? As a kid my only window into Marvel stuff was the 90s Spiderman cartoon, and obviously that series never mentions Venom wanting to eat brains. It was an awkward moment for me to read an issue of Venom around the same time, where the suit was loose and rampaging around New York or something. Can someone care to explain? Seems like such a weird detail to add to the alien.

It actually started as a throw-away line in one of the very first appearances of Venom. Either the McFarlane or Larsen run. Just typical bad-guy talk. It was later used for a toy.

All this other poo poo about a race of symbioses and them needing to feed on brain matter is retcon from a line in a 90's comic and a crappy, controversial talking action figure.

Had this conversation too many times over the years.

I don't want any powers.

(so in this scenario, I'd run from the mists).

It's the whole "great power..." thing. I mean, if I suddenly gained invulnerable skin or healing touch or flight or whatever, I'd lie awake at night feeling guilty I wasn't helping others every waking moment. And yeah, you could be a villain. But you'd lie awake at night wondering about your next caper and if there's a counter to you out there (nature finds a way, etc).

Too much pressure. Pass.
