Black Bolt released the terrigen mist, but he didn't know it would kill mutants at the time because previously it never seemed to have any effect. Although Quicksilver is no longer a mutant so that's probably one reason why. I've just remembered that Son of M was kind of a good mini, but had a pretty bad ending iirc.

Ironically nobody is thinking "America #1" right now. (I'm totally down for that book though, depending on the creative team).

It's kind of strange and cool to see people here talk about my LCS (Big Bang Comics). Yeah, their sales tweets are a really good look into the industry, but keep in mind that it doesn't necessarily represent how a book will do overall. It's very anecdotal. However, it is a popular store and as far as I'm aware it has a fairly representative customer base. However, because they do a lot of events and signings, you might find that certain creators sell a lot there. Also Marvel has been pulling that variant stuff (order above this threshold for Book A to get a special variant for Completely Unrelated Book B) for years to boost sales on certain books.

I mean... you can, but then you either have to retire the character (HA!) or hope no one ever asks what the gently caress about the elephant drilling a plot hole in the room. Well... I mean you can reset the universe. But that's cheating, you can't just reset the universe when you write yourself into a corner.

One of the first writers I ever took notice of was Daniel Way, because I read about 5 issues of his Venom run back in the early 2000s and vowed never to read anything by him ever again.

I don't think he was a jock but he was good at gymnastics. He was interested in science which in the 60s meant he was excluded from being a jock.

I like the team in X-Men Gold but those creative teams are kind of terrible (well, the writers anyway), and I just have no interest in the time displaced X-Men.

Edge & Christian posted:I've written about this at length but the X-Men (and to a large degree the Inhumans) work just fine on a ground level as an allegory for discrimination or prejudice or othering or whatever you want. People not wanting a mutant kid in their child's class, treating co-workers differently upon discovering they're Inhuman, coming out to your parents or peers as ________, all of those work just fine. You have to take into account that in the world of comics you can have Sam Wilson standing next to Warren Worthington, one of them will be discriminated against for having wings while the other won't. On the surface it's something which doesn't make sense in a real world context (if you had 2 guys with wings the torches and pitchforks would be out before you could say "What in the Sam Hill?"), but to me that's kind of the point - minorities do experience this on a daily basis because of the colour of their skin or sexuality or gender or religion or even their name. Even in real life, prejudice can't really be explained or rationalised very easily. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Dec 1, 2016 |

Yeah I feel like it's maybe "too soon" to have a modern iconic cover. There are lots of covers from the past 10 or 15 years which are quite memorable (to me), but for it to be considered iconic I think it needs to have been absorbed into the consciousness of the fanbase. It might be something thread-worthy, though!

First issue of the new Hawkeye was quite good, I loved the art and the story set things up quite well. Plenty of humour in it, and quite a good hook to kick off the series with. I'm guessing that the computer guy who helps her out will become part of her supporting cast. And that the girl she's helping won't.  I'd not written anything by Thompson before but this was was definitely enjoyable and fun, without being "haha how random!!!"
