Can we just have this as the art to the comic? No "epic" art, just Skottie Young or the people from Power Pack (forgot the artists name) doing a big event in this style.

Though SHS didn't exactly have Mini Marvel's charm it was still a fun series. Also Dacap posted:Kelly Sue DeConnick posted this on Tumblr: That is the most wonderful thing I've seen all week.

There's an old saying*. "The essence of comedy is pain. And there's nothing more painful then a man falling in love with a woman." So with that in mind let's find a comic romance that is hilarious and involves lots of pain. Oh,I know. How about the time that the Red Skull BASICALLY created the plot for 50 Shades of Grey. Our love story begins in Captain America #394. The Skull is tired of being kidnapped by WW2 survivors and superheroes, so he fakes his own death so he can get back to his real business. Financing other subversives and criminals.     So the Skull hires some random dudes who just fly into a maximum security prison and spring one of the worlds most wanted terrorist. (The Skull was paying them a WHOPPING $20,000 each to do so.) So after this exciting break out, the Grey Skull comes face to face with his new employee and offers to make all her wildest fantasies come true.  Up next, the Courtship of Viper. *= Okay it's not an old saying. It was said by Rhea Perlman on a retrospective about Cheers.

Starsnostars posted:Wasn't the Secret Empire run by Richard Nixon, or at least a Richard Nixon stand-in? Holy poo poo, it was. There have been multiple incarnations, and Not-Nixon led the second one. Wikipedia posted:The Secret Empire was defeated by Captain America, Cyclops, the Falcon, and Marvel Girl, and Captain America pursued Number One into the White House. Rather than face capture, Number One unmasked himself then committed suicide. The leader of the Secret Empire was revealed to be a very high U.S. government official attempting a coup d'état. Although his identity and face are never revealed to the reader, it is strongly implied in the dialog that Number One was the President of the United States. The government covered up his guilt and suicide with the help of a double. This led to Captain America giving up his role for a while and taking on the role of Nomad. The story was first published in 1973, when the sitting president was Richard Nixon, embroiled at the time in the Watergate scandal. Writer Steve Englehart specifically intended this issue as a metaphor of the Watergate case and the Nixon era.

RandallODim posted:I really want to know what Number Seven of the Secret Empire's role is. And also what the Secret Empire is. To answer your question, Number 7 was the guy in charge of their current cyborg minion, Midnight. (I know, I know.) He used to be Moon Knight's buddy. When Midnight's nurse disabled the failsafe that kept him under control, he crushed the hand Number 7 was using to hold the remote, then swung him headfirst into a wall. It was pretty graphic, and probably still better than death by Red Skull Gas. The main Secret Empire dudes always wore identical concealing disguises, and fought over who got to be, literally, #1. I say, what's the point of ruling the world if you have to do it in Orko pajamas? The Question IRL posted:Oh,I know.
