I sometimes wonder if the mountains of poo poo that get heaped on Flash isn't writers symbolically getting back at their own high school bullies. I hope not.

Mr. Maltose posted:I think the baby wasn't actually conceived in the Negative Zone, but Susan went there every weekend before she found out she was pregnant. It wouldn't be the Fantastic Four without dipping off to a parallel dimension full of deadly radiation on a regular basis. No, there was a good chunk of issues where they were in the Negative Zone for like weeks. Presumably, Reed and Sue did the nasty at least once during that time, and that's when the kid was conceived.

You also get the sick irony of these kids exacting vigilante "justice" on someone because they think he's a vigilante.

It's probably significant that the cosmic entity looks a bit like Moore. Also, Asimov did that ending first.

Or is it Sputnik posted: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 one wasn't a fill-in, though; it was done by the regular creative team.

Gavok posted:The closest thing would be What If Peter Parker Had to Destroy Spider-Man? where Flash Thompson is bitten by the spider instead and Peter ends up helping him create the web-swinger persona. The Awesome Spider becomes corrupt and Peter goes all prep-time against him, including creating mechanical spider arms to help him fight and defeat Flash. Then the Fantastic Four tell him to keep at it and Peter fights crime with no powers. And he sets Spider-Boy up on a date with Mary Jane Watson... The Insect Queen. Spider-Boy was awesome.

VagueRant posted:I always wondered how the original reveal with Aunt May in the clone saga years went. I heard it was touching too? (Before it was revealed that it was an actress.) It was incredible. They go to the top of the Empire State Building (as normal people) and she asks him what it's like swinging around the city. And then she tells him how proud she is. Seriously, gently caress The Final Chapter so hard.

The IDW Turtles series is surprisingly good. It does a really good job of bringing together elements from the many different versions of the property and building something new out of them.

It's the text backups in Century. Mina and Gollywog visit the moon (and the Amazon women thereon), and on the way, Mina reminisces about that time she was a '50s-era superhero and fought Stardust. It's weird.

Chaos Hippy posted:If I recall correctly (I could be wrong), the almond taste was actually almonds, and what may hit Chameleon with was actually just a sedative. She was just loving with him, because she's the best. Although, pedant that I am, I have to say that the poison that tastes like almonds is cyanide, not arsenic. But I don't blame May for not knowing that.

I've always said it was "The Odd Couple" in the Marvel Universe, and thankfully, Fabian Nicieza realized that included the part about how, even though they piss each other off, Felix and Oscar really do respect, care for, and need one another.

He's not complaining, he's terrified for his life. Ever since he came to Earth, he's been confronted with the knowledge that human culture, and especially American culture, at this point in time is incredibly xenophobic, and if he showed himself as he is in public, he'd probably be murdered.

Sharon started out as one of those characters you saw in the late '70s/early '80s who were an old man's idea of what second-wave feminists were like: Constantly yelling about how they hated men, and doomed to be "redeemed" by falling in love with the male hero. And she was originally Carol Danvers's replacement as Ms. Marvel. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Ashikan judan posted:The rear end scene is good because it's a quintessential example of Superman helping, not because he's powerful, but because of who and what he is. Yeah. And what Deadpool does isn't even too different from what Superman does; he shows her that someone does care. He just does it in a Deadpool way (i.e., distracting her by letting her tag along on his amoral adventures while he lines up the help she really needs). As someone who's lived with anxiety and depression, I was touched by this issue.

I didn't mind the whole Superman/Luthor thing with Superboy as an idea, but boy did the execution suck balls. Johns's biggest sin is that he never does anything *interesting* with the concepts he introduces.
