I once heard that the paperback "manga" style collections of the Runaways was altered or even censored from the original issues but the full sized hardcover was not. I can't find anything to confirm this.

I'm not sure what exactly would be censored, I have the full sized hardcovers and there isn't anything that objectionable.

Having trouble remembering a comic series. I think it came out about 5 or so years ago, or at least in the last 6 or so years. I wanna say it was it's own little universe (sorta like the MAX stuff with marvel), but this didn't have any major players in it. It was something like a group of people get powers all of a sudden? The only one I can remember was an older white guy who somehow made flat light or rectangle things that he uses as steps in a panel, and I think he ends up killing some guy cause he was a mugger or a bad guy or something by slicing him up with the square things. I don't think it was a very long series, but damned if I can remember anything about it other than a few panels.

I'm too lazy to pull out the books and look, but was the older white guy Bruce Willis? I'm thinking NewUniversal, which fell victim to the Warren Ellis Hard Drive Crash of Ought Seven.

I think that's it! The art style looks the same. Awesome. That's been bugging me for days and searching google for "comics white squares" and other misc ideas didn't help out much.

 Can someone fill this gap for me? What do I read to find out how Peter Quill got out of that impossible situation with Thanos and Nova? What the hell happened to Richard Rider? Did he not make out then? What about Drax? He's alive and kicking in 2013 GotG. Also I am assuming young Nova is being written retrospectively since he was in AvX, which came out before his first book.

You aren't crazy, none of it has been explained. Bendis said he's going to address it, but I figure it will just be in some off-hand panel somewhere down the line.

Avengers Assemble had an arc in it's first few issues where Thanos comes to earth and the guardians show up and work with the Avengers. It also gives a little explanation as to why the Badoon are attacking Earth in Bendis' first Guardians issue. You also need to account for the Trial of Jean Grey event post-Infinity. e: And Rocket & Groot's adventures in the comics bundled with the Annihilators series. e2: Similarly, I think I'm missing something in Black Bolt's timeline during War/Realm of Kings, Hickman's Fantastic Four and Infinity. How did he come back to life after dying in the fault with Vulcan? He was alive in Infinity when I read it which confused me, but then in Hickmna's Fantastic Four it's just mentioned he's alive again somehow. Is this explained in anything?

Mind, Watchmen was also a "murder mystery, but with superheroes". I imagine Original Sin will fall between these two examples. I have a hard time imagining one worse than Identity Crisis, but I always keep an open mind re: the possibility of terrible comics.

As long as the big reveal isn't that Thanos raped Uatu, I'm going to say that there's no way it could be worse.

Current previews point to the villain of Original Sin being The Orb which automatically makes it a million times better than Identity Crisis. And I trust Aaron not to include rape retcons.

Hakkesshu posted:Wait, who the gently caress is that, and how has it been built up to? Spoiling because Boss Waterhaul spoiled. He's a recurring villain in Jason Aaron's various Marvel work, first reintroduced in Ghost Rider. His head is a giant eyeball, which looks freaky, but it's actually a giant weakness that goes with how pathetic he truly is. He showed up in Astonishing Spider-Man and Wolverine, where some time traveling adventures hardened him and made him all jacked. I can't remember if he retained all that at the end or not. Regardless, an eyeball-headed supervillain stealing Uatu's eyeball sounds about right.

Waterhaul posted:Current previews point to the villain of Original Sin being The Orb which automatically makes it a million times better than Identity Crisis. Wow that makes a whole lot of sense, if true. The Orb was a lame Ghost Rider villain who Aaron first included as a joke character in his run on Ghost Rider. Part of his schitick was he was an embarrasment, but he had delusions of grandure. He next showed up in Astonishin Spider-Man/ Wolverine ,another story by Aaron, where he stumbles onto the secrets of time travel. He also appeared in Aaron's run on the Hulk where he has become obsessing with stealing people's eyes as the windows to their souls. All of this matches up with what we know about Original Sin. In which case, this has been well setup. So, at least, if that is true, then Original Sin at least won't fail as a mystery story. (That, in my opinion, was the worst thing about Identity Crisis. It was written by Brad Meltzer, a Crime Novelist, and he crafts what seems like an excellent Locked Room mystery. But the entire resolution to it is just cack-handed that the whole thing falls apart. Why does a Crime Novelist fail at telling a Who-dunnit story?
