It's June already and nobody else made a thread. So here's a thread for June.

Your topic for this month is...I don't know, uh, discuss your favorite...poo poo, I really have nothing.

Keep talking about superheroes fighting the devil, I guess.

I think this month should be devoted to everyone's favorite breakout star from Annihilation: Conquest, Wraith!

I guess that makes sense what with the other Spaceknights being part of the set up.

Wraith combines the worst elements of Drizz't Do'Urden and New Lobo.

June starts with a J so what if we made the thread about the best character ever whose name begins with that letter? This is now Jimmy Olsen Month. Pyf Jimmy Olsen.

I agree with your suggestion, but what does that second half of your post have to do with the first half?

But June is the release of X-Men Apocalypse in China, where Jubilee makes her big screen debut as a character with like 3 lines, never uses her powers, and (iirc) is never actually referred to as Jubilee! Just what the fans always wanted!

Nobody ever calls her by name (either real or superhero). It's one of the many, many weird and disappointing things about the movie.

I liked Wraith in Annihilation: Conquest. I mean, he was super duper forgettable, but I liked him.

I just really liked Annihilation: Conquest in general, though.

I like Wraith's poncho and actively didn't hate his pistol/whip. I'd like him better with slightly stronger desperado styling (a hat, e.g.) and less goober angst about having a cloud of offbrand Venom instead of a soul.

I always thought it was weird that Silver Age Jimmy Olsen stories treated him like a teenager even though he was a grown rear end man who lived on his own.

But he had the attitude of a teenager. Really Jimmy Olsen is all of us.

Yeah Jimmy Olsen is real wish fulfillment for comic book nerds. He's grown up, has his own place, is a huge fan of Superman, but he also gets to be Superman's best buddy.

Basically, but this time there was a bit more attention for Jubilee pre-release so there was more hope.

Also there was this which was far better advertising than XM:A deserved:
