His Secret Avengers run is pretty good on average, but there's two amazing issues in there. The Black Widow time travel one was one of my favorite single issues from last year.

I'm not mad or bothered or anything, but you should maybe consider linking those images, as even the thumbnails plainly spoil what happens. I don't really have any interest in reading that series now.

A new Fury MAX or his old Fury MAX mini? Because the old one was pretty terrible and an example of his worst habits.

Woah, Secret Avengers seems pretty good. That may be the first time I've felt Captain Britain had strong, unique, and interesting voice. Art looks gritty but really perfect for that mood.

Has it always been that good? Most of what I've caught about the series was during AvX and was not that interesting.

Okay, I apologize in advance for this post, because I might sound like an ignorant tosser. I don't know, I wasn't there, but I would like someone to explain it to me.

It seems like this entire moment kind of sabotages itself by featuring a concept that is so momumentally stupid as "electric blue Superman". It's so loving dumb. Just look at him! He's Superman, but he's blue and electric and has an awful 90s costume. It ruins the entire impact of that moment! Honestly, in my experience, DC does this a lot, but I was never a fan of alternate versions of superheroes to begin with. Am I totally crazy here?

Speaking of Batman, have there ever been any modernish what if, one off, mini series, that explored what of Batman didn't have his one rule. Essentially he is a rich rear end Frank Castle, but still Batman/Bruce Wayne, he just kills.

Nobody tell those kids that Reed Richards actually shrank down and punched Willy Lumpkin's cancer into submission a few months back.

That makes sense, I guess. I'd always assumed it was leaking through the ceiling and dripping down.

Are... are you joking? A regular man has about 10 pints of blood, which is less than 1.5 gallons. 45 gallons of blood would weigh more than 350lbs. It would be a whole bathtub full of blood.

If you've got that issue handy, please post that panel a little bit later when the cop/guard take a photo with Superman. That whole scene made me realize that Clark and Dick have so much more in common with each other than with Bruce. It makes snese that they'd be friends independent of Batman.

RyuujinBlueZ posted:

That would actually be a fantastic twist to take on the Doom-style of supervillains. Villains who start using their genius and resources for the greater good, entirely to undermine the heroes.

Wait, why is Lex reading an "Increase Your Brainpower" book? Isn't that exactly the sort of thing his ego would find preposterous?

drrockso20 posted:

Man it's moments like that that almost make me want to get back into reading Marvel, and then I remember that comics like the really crappy and grim-derp Incursion exist and I go back to not giving a drat about Marvel 616 as they ruin my Suspension of Disbelief and I'm one of those people who care about continuity too much to ignore them(this has been a problem for me since Morrison's X-Men run and Avengers Dissassembled/House of M/Decimation, so it's been a long time since I consistently enjoyed modern Marvel)

drrockso20 posted:

Yeah I know about that stuff, it's just that I love 616, and it irritates me that in the majority of stuff set there in the last decade plus the heroes just tend to come off as either not heroic at all or just plain incompetent if not both at the same time with only the occasional exception

Also Incursion pisses me off because it's ruining multiple characters I love(The Illuminati or at least it's members), and now I can't consider the 616 versions of them heroes anymore after what they did to Earth-4290001, they are now pretty much full blown villains in spite of whatever they do in the future, considering they were complicit in the death of an entire inhabited alternate Earth

Everyone did. Superman tweeted it out across the internet with the help of Cyborg.

For all the cool things the Injustice comic does, they do tend to go full retard in some areas.

I like this a lot cause you couldn't pull off that scene as effectively in any medium outside of comics. This is A+ comic booking.

Edit: weird nitpick, but I wish the clouds were moving a tiny bit in the background.

Tim/Jason. Same difference, they're both boring ex-robins.

What's interesting about it too is how much we've codified internally about super heroes. Of course the blond, handsome guy, suit-wearing guy with an ambiguous name is going to be the hero. Of course the homeless bum with 'black' in his name is going to be the villain (not black in the racial sense but more in how it's considered foreboding). All these little rules and assumptions we've absorbed subconsciously.

Chinaman7000 posted:

I hate that kind of ending. Trying too hard to make an ending that wraps things up and make some point and it always feels very lame and takes me out of the narrative. It's like if Walter White travelled back in time to give himself cancer and the final scene is him winking at the camera.
