Mulva posted:Nah, he needed a bit in the time out room to let the douche chills pass. And Young Scott was, absolutely, a better character than he was right around the time he died. I'll agree he needed a bit of a time-out, but you can accomplish that by having him just wander off-panel into the woods for a couple of years instead of "he died off-panel and everyone thinks he's Literally Hitler except it turns out he died preventing the needless deaths of basically all of mutantkind but we're still supposed to think he's a douche, shh."

Given some of the stuff we've seen in the Hunt For Wolverine prequel miniseries, I'd guess that the shoulder emblem has something to do with Sotiera, which is the company/organization that seems to be involved, somehow, in the story. Having seen the ending of Weapon Lost, maybe it's their uniform or some poo poo. I expect the look to be abandoned by the end of the mini anyways, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

X-O posted:The only way they treated her was to say "Hey this book doesn't work in the direction we're going, but you've done work on it and here's payment for your work. There is also future work for you so let's just let this one go and move on" which is not unreasonable or unfair at all in any way. the Daily Beast article posted:And when the publisher nixed two years’ worth of work on The Vision, cutting a chunk of expected income, “they wanted it to be clean and quiet, with the implication—not even—with the understanding that they had more projects for me in the future if we could keep this clean and not make anybody look bad.” Emphasis mine. Also I'm not entirely sure that "we're gonna not publish the thing you've been working on for some time now and you'll get a kill fee which is lower than you'd get for published work and won't include any royalties but don't worry, so long as you behave we'll give you more work so that *real* money can come down the line, probably in at minimum twelve months away, I'm sure that won't cause any financial hiccups for you right?" qualifies as 'not unreasonable or unfair at all in any way.' Is it a part of the way comics are published, and dozens of other creators have had that happen to them, and they didn't have the wherewithal to do anything beyond shutting up and taking it? Yes. But that doesn't make it okay.

Seriously, Dr. Druid's big thing as an Avenger was getting pissed off that a woman was in charge, mind-controlling everyone into thinking he was The Best so they'd make him Chairman, and then getting seduced by Nebula because he is just terrible. Dr. Druid was always bad.

The only one I liked and enjoyed was the Deadpool "The Thing" homage, but I would've liked to see it as a full issue one-shot. I admit I got a kick out of "What If Phantom of the Opera was about the Punisher," but I suspect you have to be, like, an extra nerd to love that

Skwirl posted:That's an Avengers story, isn't it? Nah, that was his solo book, it was during his "gently caress you Bruce Banner is a brain on Stark or Richards' level so now he's building forcefields and poo poo" period. Was that Mark Waid who was writing it? I think it was.

Skwirl posted:Wasn't Banner always at the Reed/Stark level? That's like half the tragedy of the whole thing. He's one of the smartest people on Earth but half the time he's a dumb monster that's stronger than literal gods. If he's not smarter than, I don't know, Peter Parker, why are we supposed to care about the Banner side of the equation? ...if the only reason you'd care about 'the Banner side of the equation' is him being smart, well, that's on you I guess. I kinda feel like it'd be tragic regardless. Anyways, yes Banner's always been a genius, but I've always disliked (and yes I'm well aware that this is basically just 'how it works' in comics and this is on me, no need to point it out) how being an expert in a field of science in a comic book makes you an expert in, apparently, everything; Banner's always been an expert in radiation, which I guess extrapolates to being a top-tier physicist, but to go from that to "I can make forcefields and zap guns and robots with advanced AI and poo poo" seemed like a hell of a jump to me, personally. At any rate, the point is yes, that scene happened in a Hulk solo title

Nope, Gwen's book is ongoing and I know things (tm) about where it's headed and it's gonna be bonkers and great.

howe_sam posted:I "liked" how they just left Rachel stuck as a hound. "Oh well, she was too damaged, we couldn't do anything for her." I half-suspect they took Rachel off the board for the upcoming Age of X-Man event, either because she would break it in some way (doubtful) or because they didn't have a place for her to slot in as a character (more likely).

site posted:I think??? it was because post sw earth got rebooted earlier in the timeline, before shuri became Queen and then died at the battle with the black order. The shuttle launch sequence happens early in Hickman's avengers run, and then secret wars closes with tchalla returning to that point in time This is it; it's because the SW reboot returned the status quo back to where it was in the first issue of Hickman's Avengers, so instead of the Wakandan kids finding the first Incursion they're launching the spacecraft that is gonna set up Alpha Flight (the current version w/Captain Marvel, not the OG Canadian one). So the poo poo that happens in Hickman's Avengers neatly writes itself out. Depending on whether you liked Hickman's Avengers or not, this is either a neat storytelling device with metatextual qualities or a cheapass copout

site posted:It's not lost on me that they're saddling spider Gwen with the emotional weight of dealing with the aftermath of spidergeddon... That wasn't editorial saying "oh, there are consequences; give them to the girl on the girl book," if that's what you're getting at; Seanan McGuire wanted that story. She's a friend of mine, which is why I can tell you that she's been wanting to write this kind of a comic book issue for... poo poo, more than a decade now. I think when we first were talking about it it was in the context of some of the Academy X kids. Her delight at finally being able to go "look, consequences!" in a comic has been actually delightful to watch, even as writing the issue and getting the art for it was leaving her wrung out because she got her own recently-deceased cat Alice into the Felicia Hardy scene (this isn't telling tales out of school, she just did a big whole long twitter thread about this). Seanan's a big believer in consequences; look at the vast majority of her novels and you'll see that "oh crap this thing happened but now I have to deal with the aftermath and it sorta sucks" is a pretty common theme (look into the Wayward Children books, btw, I suspect you, site, would enjoy them in particular), 'cause it's sort of her jam.

Yeah, she fought for that issue.

Not only was Daughters of the Dragon #3 really fun and entertaining it is a delightful dip into obscure characters that I remember and am always surprised that someone else does (Hey!

Seriously I thought I was the only person who remembered Andrea Sterman, ex-psychiatrist turned government researcher turned SHIELD agent turned psychiatrist who got sucked into the whirlpool current that was Jack Monroe's life - oh that's right, she hung with the V-Battalion for a while too God the life of a comics supporting cast member must be so strange
