I wonder if audiobooks for comics exist. Like how on Daredevil there's that audio mode for blind people that describes the scenes of the show audibly.

Or they could just go with Stan Lee books.

Eventually, there will be a Gwenpool comic where the entire thing is done, or at least the section, with real people in costumes ( like photographs) with wordballoons photosphoped in.

I like this idea in theory, but then I think of John Byrne's Star Trek.

Genuinely thought for a second that was an upper decker on the last page of Infinity Countdown rather than an infinity stone. To be fair to me, though, that does seem like something he would do.

The eyebrows on Spider-Man's mask are great.

That's a very Romita-ish looking Spidey (the original, not Junior).

Aw, I liked his run. I didn't love it, but the Avengers/Defenders war is a good time.

I also really like Englehart's origin story for Vision back in the day. And then, of course, Byrne had to gently caress it all up.

Do you people get upset that the Human Torch is also hot-headed? Or that the Invisible Woman often feels like her husband doesn't notice her? Or that the Thing has a gruff exterior but a heart of gold?

What? They'd never be that contrived!

I'm actually a little surprised nobody's done a reveal where Juggernaut and Sandman are revealed to be brothers based entirely on them having the same last names.

Didn't Byrne have a story where Sandman and Osborne were related because they have the same hair?

I get that that's supposed to be the edge of his beard, but I can't see that as anything but Danny sporting a set of those novelty vampire fangs.

And then I remember that Slott is writing F4 and it's like a cosmic monkey is throwing it's poo poo in my face.

Don't let Slott steal your cosmic monkey idea; it sounds like a natural F4 concept.

I was reading Marvel Two-in-One yesterday and this close-up of the Human Torch made me realize the weirdness of those lines on his face and body that he is drawn with. He’s got highly defined facial features and the typical lines drawn all across his face.



Originally Torch was drawn with lines across him I think as a way to depict how the fire was obscuring his features, while using the lines to give his shape some definition still. The obscuring of features is done in the same way that the shape of Mysterio’s head inside the fishbowl was suggested. The lines may have also been meant to depict the direction of the constantly rising flame and heat.



That’s a panel from FF #2 which just has the lines and Torch doesn’t have much definition otherwise (but then again it's not a close-up). Eventually Kirby or someone else kept the lines even as they started adding normal features to Torch and the result is that Torch ends up with flaming pumpkin face.

I had this toy as a kid. They gave him the lines on his face...


...but the rest of his body was:
