Renzuko posted:How did logan of all people become headmaster of the school? Combine being sick of training child soldiers so you can end up burying teenagers for decades and several lifetimes worth of compound interest and he had the means and motive to do it. Though Kitty and Hank did most of the actual running of it, because Logan knows he isn't any good at it. And money ran short early on (rebuilding a full academic campus gets expensive) so now they live on a baby mutant island that poops precious metals. It is actually rather well thought out.

That school is... post high school, right? I'd hope so. It seems to do a very poor job of actually educating children.

poor deadpool, all he want's is some stability in life. I am kinda curious as to why they passed on the completely normal teacher with an actual degree? I guess it's because she's not a mutant but isn't that kind of a...magneto kinda thing to do?

I just thought it was a painfully forced-corny affair that had a very superficial understanding of either character. Yes, we get it, golden/silver age tropes with lots of winking, very impressive.

CapnAndy posted:That's actually a fairly great moment and entirely something the Joker would pull. Dude has standards. Insane, constantly changing standards, but he has them. The only reason that plays as a great moment is it's an actual moment involving Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano. Byrne stapled it in with Joker as a stand-in, and it didn't work nearly as well because Joker is a lovely stand-in for Jewish/Sicilian mobsters. The only standards Joker has is whether something is funny, and that is absolutely not how Byrne played it.

JLA/Avengers was legitimately great, and I liked Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire by Denny O'Neil. The last line has always stuck with me. "The damned do not always scream and moan. Sometimes they suffer in silence." Probably the best storiy with Azbats.

Huh. Did Planetary have more issues after they've dealt with their Fantastic Four antagonists (in the most anticlimactic comic showdown I've ever read)? Because I don't remember reading the above.

There was also a Planetary/Authority one-shot crossover, where the teams never actually meet. And just so I can include a panel, it's the issue that spawned this image:

Because I don't remember reading the above. There was another issue or two where they saved their friend with a time machine to wrap up the series. Though I personally liked that showdown because in the end it didn't come down to super powered shenanigans but who knew more about the weird and wonderful things lurking in the world's shadow.
