Wolverine and the X-Men #24 is so good you guys, it's pretty much hilarious cover-to-cover (except for a couple of serious parts). Here, have a taste:



"...it's randomly hook up with each other." - the end of Quire's thought bubble from the next page.

I laughed uncontrollably at that second-to-last panel for a solid minute.

I was so ready to :goonsay: out on this because Quentin was aware of Jean during the first "Riot at Xavier's" arc, but then I realized he was stunned because well, suddenly there was a Jean he could conceive himself actually banging... piggish as that may be.

The facial expressions in this issue were kinda exaggerated all around.

Doesn't look like Kevin Maguire itself, but seems to follow his philosophy. I wish I had that page in Wizard so I could repost it every time the whole "exaggerated expressions" observation gets brought up. His whole philosophy is that you should draw the facial expression at the moment of most exaggeration to fully convey their emotion per what's being told in the panel. Sounds a little hard to explain but it's all about keeping the art and script together in a consistent flow, and I find it reads really well even if it looks goofy as gently caress out of context.

Hera traditionally doesn't get along with anyone (with the possible exception of her daughter Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth, but primarily because Hera would use her as a weapon to make life tough for Zeus's paramours), but Ares is well attested to as being the most hated of all the gods.

In one tradition Hera is the sole parent of Hephaestus, jealous of Zeus birthing Athena by himself, but she is disgusted because he is ugly, and she throws him out of heaven. In another tradition, he is the son of Zeus and Hera, and gets in between them trying to defend his mother from Zeus's advances, and Zeus throws him out of heaven. In the first book of the Iliad, Hephaestus reminds his mother of this story to try to cheer her up after Zeus yells at her.

Either way, it's not so much that Hera and Hephaestus don't get along, it's that Hephaestus craves his mother's approval while Hera is just a cold bitch to everyone.

Nah, Hephaestus looks like this in WW:


Anyway, on to funny things. The new Batman & Robin Annual is all about Damian sending Bruce on a globetrotting adventure finding out stuff about his parents. There's a lot of touching stuff in there. But there's also a lot of funny stuff. Like for example, the first spot on the trip happens to be a hotel in London. As it turns out, the manager is one of Alfred's buddies from his pre-butler days as an actor. So that gets Alfred thinkin' about the good ol' days.

Then this happens:



So Bruce leaves Alfred in London and takes off. Then at the end of the story, Bruce (and Damian) come back to pick him up and... catch a little entertainment.

This is the result of historical bias, in that Athens, from whom we get most of these written works, portrayed their patron God of war (Athena) as wonderful and wise while the patron of their biggest enemies Sparta (Ares) was portrayed as a detestable whiner.

You are not wrong; I'm just relating the stories as we see them in the sources we have. However, in the Iliad, Zeus reproves Ares for being a horrible, ruinous rear end in a top hat, and Homer wasn't even kind of Athenian.

Zeus in Iliad Book 5 posted:

Do not sit beside me and whine, you double-faced liar.
To me you are the most hateful of all gods who hold Olympos.
Forever quarrelling is dear to your heart, wars and battles.

And yet I will not long endure to see you in pain, since
you are my child, and it was to me that your mother bore you.
But were you born of some other god and proved so ruinous
long since you would have been dropped beneath the gods of the bright sky.


Of course, Ares gets a better rap as Mars among the Romans, for whom he's the grandfather of their traditional founder, although this added dignity can also be attributed to his role as more of an agricultural god prior to his syncretization with Ares.

Is there a reason why Ares is barefoot, and his feet are covered in blood at that, or is that just his thing? I am looking at Ares in the Touching Panels thread and I did not see the bloody feet there.
