Waterhaul posted:Everybody needs to buy Wolverine and the X-Men #17. I bought this today. The greatest thing about this panel is that Doop is actually playing a bass instead of guitar and yet he still won. Link, just in case people haven't heard of Robert Johnson, or the movie this scene is taken from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_%281986_film%29

prefect posted:This is definitely in the near vicinity of that. Then Simon gets over his self-doubt and becomes an enormous rear end in a top hat with a horrific costume. I don't have the comic anymore, but there was some funny stuff in that arc: 1) Wonder man starts trying to one up iron man all the time as a result of his increased confidence. 2) The two of them race into space chasing a fleeing villain. 3) Wonder man's jets fail in orbit (because they are jets, Iron Man has rockets). 4) Wonder man plummets to earth, and then gets mad at Iron Man for coming back to save him. 5) Next issue, Wonder man gets a better costume and learns humility after getting hurt in a one on one with abomination.

Uthor posted:I started reading the Rocket Raccoon: Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant HC. All this is from the first issue. I'm not including much context because it honestly won't help it make more sense. I actually owned the incredible hulk issue just prior to this one. (The tag at the end was NEXT: ROCKET RACCOON!) What I recall happening was that those three guys in the second panel of the flashback (Blue with horns; Blue with square stick, and red guy) came to get Hulk to help fight a space monster. Rick went and dosed himself with Gamma to try and help, but he just fell over and started glowing. The blondish woman in the green shirt wanted to help him, but the only person she could find was three finger mohawk woman, who is some kind of interstellar TV producer. Hulk fought and beat the space monster (including a totally awesome fight with Abomination) but was sent spiraling off through space, where he presumably crash landed on Rocket's planet. drat, why are comics not that awesome anymore?

Nilbop posted:Is the Wasp seriously aloud to do anything that isn't shacking up with a random guy or dying? Roger Stern made her Avengers leader, had her stop obsessing about men all the time, and had her lead the team through the siege on the mansion. He was going to do the same for Monica Rambeau, and then editorial shut it down. No other writer has ever built on that or even tried. It's a big peeve of mine.

Marshal Radisic posted:Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't he also riffing off of Plato's Apology? It's either that or 'unfrozen caveman lawyer.' I wonder how many goon lawyers we have--it seems like every thread I follow, someone outs themselves as a lawyer.

ManiacClown posted:Don't go back for second semester. Unless you know for sure you're going to be one of those top 10% of your class yutzes AND you're the kind of twisted mutant who thrives on stress, law practice is a bad life. Also, no, you can't "do anything with a JD" unless "anything" is "be pigeonholed because everyone else wonders why you're applying there instead of making loads of money as a lawyer." So, 4-5 lawyers in the last two pages. Nerd/law connection established. I'll stop the derail.

Opopanax posted:The MTV one is at least a little better for having NPH. USM is pretty weak and written for a much younger crowd I think this is important to remember. The kids I know all love USM and are lukewarm on the other versions. I think it's important that Marvel actually produce superhero stuff for kids. If they don't like it they will go somewhere else, whereas we already have a ton of stuff for manchildren.

Ghostlight posted:If he did I can guarantee the response would've been "you're right, that doesn't make any sense - have them attack something near the water like Alcatraz." I remember reading a later issue where he had Torpedo and Torpedo v.2 (the other SCUBA guy--can't remember his name) do some kind of mission. They swim to their target AND THEN CHANGE OUT OF THEIR WETSUITS INTO REGULAR CAMO to do the rest of the job. As a kid it was pretty surprising and out of the ordinary to see something so simple and practical actually reflected in the comic, since I was so used to scenes like the one above where the guy is walking around in flippers. edit: that just made me remember GI JOE: special missions. It was a spin-off book where Hama was able to do more complicated stories and featured enemies other than Cobra (although also Cobra). I really liked that book as well. 2nd edit: Wet Suit?

Ensign_Ricky posted:The cartoon has JK Simmons and Clark Gregg, your argument is invalid. It's a superhero cartoon actually aimed at kids which is hard for some people. But Bobby thinking it's cool actually makes sense, since he is sort of childish.

KayTee posted:I like how Blondie just ducks out completely and lets Mom & the kids do the fighting for him. They're all cobra agents. There's a scene later in the series (just before 50, I think) where a little girl pulls a dirty harry style handgun out of her purse and threatens a GIJoe with it.

Lurdiak posted:I read the entire 40 years of Avengers DVD, and the main takeaway of the Avengers' entire history is that the Wasp is the worst. The siege of the mansion is one of the best Avengers stories, and Wasp is the lead character in it. The whole Stern run did a lot for her character. That's when I started reading Avengers so she's that character to me, not the ditzy early Wasp or boring Bendis Wasp.
