Mister Roboto posted:Really? There hasn't been the SLIGHTEST increase in interest and sales due to all the movies lately? From what I've heard from a local comic store owner, the only time comic movies ever lead to significantly higher sales is if it's a stand alone story like Watchmen or V for Vendetta.

I love how this makes M.O.D.O.K. look threatening and silly at the same time. I'm fairly certain this is from Villain Team-Up: M.O.D.O.K.'s 11

Has MODOK ever been legitimately scary/threatening? I feel like someone could have pulled that off at some point.

His first appearances, several parts of MODOK's 11, the new MODOK in Jeff Parker's Hulk, his part in Greg Pak's Hulk stories, etc. I'm having more trouble thinking of times where he wasn't threatening.

He was used as a comic relief villain in the late 90s and most of the 2000s. Though even then they still made him fairly threatening. But If you want to see MODOK in full silly, look for M.O.D.O.K.: Reign Delay.

Mister Roboto posted:I really can't begrudge them for this. Comic books NEED all the audiences they can get, and if they need to draw in new readers from Avengers, then whatever way they write Sam Jackson into 616 Fury is fine by me. I don't begrudge them that either. I just laugh at the fact that the in-universe justification. By which I mean the total lack of one. Just "Shut up with the referential humor Hawkeye, NICK FURY™ here has a mission for you."

I'm kinda surprised they didn't go with "Nick Fury had to be anonymous and disguised himself. Genetically."

The fingernails are the colorist not paying attention but the blue eyes are because that's actually the Punisher. I think I remember a few people commenting on the eyes during his team up with Luke Cage.

Thor adopts a civilian identity to stay incognito in New York, and gets mad when the Avengers visit him. West Coast Avengers Annual #1 I just really like the facts that 1) Incognito he still uses Thor speak, 2) That this is somehow a worse civilian costume than Clark Kent's glasses, and 3) that Thor intentionally went full yuppie, sweater over the shoulders and all.

The initial establishment of that identity, in Thor #341: The disguise does the trick, in Thor #344:  Of course, someone like Thor can't stay inconspicuous forever, as the joke continues in Thor #349:

I can understand it in comics if they don't want kids to smoke or whatever, but it makes picking out new avatars very difficult. Skrull Nick's been chewing that cigar for five years!
