Yea it takes things from Vlad but Vlad wasn't the only sadistic ruler at the time. That kind of brutality was pretty much par for the course for most insane rulers throughout history. I would love to ask Gaiman who the true inspiration (for Breschau of Livonia) was.

"Breschau isn’t a historical figure (I thought it would be unfair to have someone who was completely forgotten by history, who you could find in a history book)"

"The idea for the Breschau character probably came from a seed planted in Jurgen, James Branch Cabell’s novel, where he meets his father, Coth, who is being tortured in Hell, although not entirely to his satisfaction."

Does anyone have the really :britain: panel, I think from either Captain Britain or Captain America, where the two of them are fighting/escaping something and Britain says he won't follow Cap but he'll fight right alongside him? I thought it was posted in this thread but I didn't see it.

There's probably a story in that somewhere, about how Thor should be one of the most frightening things in the Marvel Universe, but most of the ordinary people he runs into know that he's actually pretty easy to get along with.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Foggy worries that maybe the kids are getting their hopes up but his doctor shows them that maybe that isn't a bad thing.

Well poo poo for that matter why doesn't Pym start beating up cancer and/or bombarding it with Pym particles. Maybe a solid decade of literally fighting cancer will end the "I'll be the one to really address the domestic violence." plague that haunts him.

Avengers #13: What you need to know is that this Hyperion is the last survivor of his universe. He has recently gained some adoptive children of sorts, and they've been put in danger. Thumb-nailed as this is the final few pages:







I want Hickman to write Hyperion and Thor: Super-bros forever. Though I have a feeling this could end in tears...

I wonder if they always do backwards somersaults because you sure as gently caress can't stand up normally if you sit on a cape, super-strength or not.

Aside from both of them being able to fly it's not that hard to get up after sitting on a cape, there's generally material bunched up towards the lower back that allows some slack and from there you roll to one side and plant you hand, like a fat guy getting up.

Biggest problem with that scene is that after they went into Willy Lumpkin's body in a miniaturized spaceship... they left the spaceship behind.

Someday soon, the spaceship's microminiaturization will wear off, and Willy Lumpkin will explode.

I'll get 'em caught, show Oak what I've got
Leslie Anne Shappe, the vigilante known as Crazy Eight, has been incarcerated after killing hugely popular U.S. senator Hartwell. Previously, Crazy Eight had only targeted criminals, so Dr. Leonard Samson is brought to State Penitentiary as an expert psychologist to evaluate Leslie's sanity, with the hope of a death sentence.



Samson agrees to talk to her to figure out why she killed the senator and see if he can help her, but Leslie... doesn't cooperate.



Doc Samson testifies to Leslie's sanity and Crazy Eight gets put on death row. Some time passes, and on the day of the execution Leslie requests a visit from Samson who's still trying to understand why she killed the senator.

It's more of a fill-in and less of an inventory seeing as it starts where the previous issue left off, but the story is about something else entirely. They had two fill-ins in four months over Hulk #'s 376-380, I thought both were really good.

That's a pretty badical costume for a guy who doesn't have a unifying theme to build a look around. What did he wear before that, purple tights and an orange tank top or something like that? Might as well go Street Fighter.

Regular writer, different penciller and they both depart from the previous story. It's not really a fill-in but neither really an inventory story.
