Pfft, Gwenpool was worth a dozen Mockingbirds, Guruhiru or no. Not that Mockingbird was bad, it just wasn't on the same level.

Love love loved Immortal Hulk #3 with all the different viewpoints, particularly the lovestruck old dear’s take on it. Digging the groove the series has found of creepy horror tales welded to the 70s Hulk show format. Of course if it stays true to it, poor Ms McGee ain’t ever getting an interview. New Thor was good too, can’t beat a good ol Asgardian screwball farce, and all the explicit mentions of the convoluted family ties was fun to see. Not even read all of this week’s haul yet but it feels like the best week in ages aready.

Who could forget such WCA classics like “raped by a ghost cowboy” and “woman loses everything and becomes a vessel for primordial black goo trying to get an in on mutants”? There’s a reason why no one gave a toss about The Avengers pre-2000, the books were nearly always bad. Hell, Alpha Flight often looked good in comparison.

Covok posted:Yeah, that's actually how they did the original Ultimate Universe I think. Because Bendis and Millar were still unknowns at the time. Getting like some real Indie talent to build this new universe would be great. The Authority was red hot until the Levitz thing caused Millar to split from DC and he'd also had a very well regarded Superman Adventures run, calling him an unknown is really stretching it.

Finally got around to reading WCA and as noted, Gwen does feel disappointingly off so far, and the setup and framing device is too much like the Misfits book from last year (and wasn’t it the same writer?) which just left me wanting Pizazz to show up and take charge. But those niggles aside, it looks great (though the colourist keeps forgetting about Kate’s hip holes) and the story and cast dynamics are otherwise fun so I’ll take it over any other Avengers book right now. Get Sarah on the team, imo, it needs some magical oomph.

Synthbuttrange posted:Oh jeez Hulk did you really have to do that Amazing that in an issue that opens with some AAA+ body horror, it manages to do outdo it with an even more terrifying scene by the end.

I love how Thor lends itself to filler issues better than most. Someone needs a break/skips a deadline? No problem, lets just tell an awesome tale from ages past and somehow it just doesn’t bug me the way it does in other books.

Something that only recently just occurred to me about Rogue that I've been wondering about: how much of her personality is really her now? Like, after she took too much from Carol and had her face turn, is it really still her or a hybrid/amalgamated personality? I guess what I'm asking is if Rogue, in her natural state, if she hadn't absorbed Carol's powers and memories, would she still be a callous sack of poo poo or was the guilt genuinely hers and she would have always left the Brotherhood eventually?

Skwirl posted:There's tons of stories where someone is an rear end, does something horrific and that sort of snaps them out of it and they start to seek redemption, without them absorbing anyone's memories. Hell, that's sorta what the song Amazing Grace is about. That's the thing though, the absorbing memories and possibly personality traits muddies the waters somewhat that your bog standard examples wouldn't have. Certainly, Carol wasn't the first she did it to, just one she took more than she intended to. I just have this weird memory of Rogue's face in that Avengers annual(?) looking so gleeful and creepy as attacked someone and it got me wondering, though as howe_sam's post shows, the most recent examination of it seems to be inconclusive as it's written with neither of them really knowing for sure.

Nessus posted:It was like an Asgardian desert. They all ended up in Asgard for... reasons. At the end of it even Loki was like "Yeah I'm taking back all your good poo poo but you know what I'mma let Shan there stay "not five hundred pounds" because gently caress the Shadow King." Didn't Loki have the hots for Storm or something? I think Amora teleported her to Asgard for him, except she was hanging out with the kids at the time so they got dragged alone for the ride.

Well goddamn. In a better universe than this, Jack Kirby didn't become a comic book artist, he became a full time, highly prolific fashion designer and everyone looks *amazing* for decades to follow. The Sooth Sayer looks like he's on good terms with the Ancient Spirits of Evil, mind.

Despite knowing bugger all about the Eternals until this series, I really liked the opener to the new arc with an increasingly affronted Ajak getting mad at the Avengers over their new choice of hang out, plus the flashback fight one million years earlier. Gillen Gillens while Kei Zama has a blast on art. Good stuff.

The Question IRL posted:Speaking of Wolverine, I saw this story on Bleeding Cool news. One thing I actually did like about those panels was Logan's healing factor in its slower, OG version, was never a fan of the way it became almost supercharged in later years and trivialised almost any injury. The first time I saw it in action was after Scalphunter went full auto on him and the next issue opened with him lying on the ground wrecked and waiting helplessly while everything knit back together. Nowadays, he'd probably just shrug it off and keep fighting without missing a beat.

Lobok posted:What era are we talking about here? He pretended Iron Man had died in order to make him a scapegoat after the death of Titanium Man in the late 80s. Was it even T-Man's death? He broke into the Vault to disable the Guardsmen's armour which allowed some inmates to escape, and attacked other good guys (Steve, Stingray) because of his "MY TECHNOLOGY" meltdown, hence the US Government nuking him. I doubt they'd have given a toss about a Soviet scientist accidentally getting killed.

My fav thing about Inferno is the long awaited showdown between X-Factor and the X-Men, with the demonic atmosphere making the X-Men act kinda psychotic. All hell's breaking loose but while the boys are fighting, Ororo sweeps Jean up into the air, asks if it's really her and they just have a nice big hug at long last, awwwwww.

When this bullshit is invariably fixed 5 minutes later because Cyclops hears about it and immediately calls in all his favours to bump them to the front of the queue because Pals 4 Life, I do hope they don't use it to give her the lame MCU cosmic sparkly bullshit powerset instead of the embiggening coolness we all know and love.

Kinda curious as to why MJ would get an invite. Like purely in official terms, isn't she just a regular joe and totally nothing to do with Spider-Man, uh-uh, no sir, or the superhero community in general as far as anyone knows? And it's not like she's an A-lister celeb or anything.
