When I got to that page I thought it was a little too literal and obvious about excluding Cap. Still cool, though. Edit: also kujeger is right, if you're counting the one going to BP then Caps counts too

Cap's killed, but he's killed combatants. A world full of innocent bystanders is an entirely different kettle of fish.

I remember being surprised when Cap picked up a machine gun in the first Avengers movie and just started firing away. He's so often doing crazy shield and jump and punch stuff you forget he's actually a real soldier.

There's a small crack pointing at Cap too, the perspective just makes it a bit tricky to see. My interpretation of the scene was that Black Bolt is saying they'd all be willing to do it.

My favorite is when he straight-up kicks the Hydra soldier into some propellers and the soldier disintegrates on-camera.

I don't think the cracks signify anything...I think it's just depicting how powerful Black Bolt is by barely uttering a word and having it crack a massive stone slab. Like...show, don't tell.

If you rotate your head just right, the table cracks spell out "VULVA."

I thought they gave him his proper costume back but I guess this is just an Elseworld based on the description. Oh well, it still looks great.

The event is a clashing of DC eras. I wasn't looking forward to a Dan Jurgens tie-in, but it was pretty nice seeing a good artist depicting red pants Supes deflecting bullets off his chest again. e: Not that I care generally. Action Comics is incredible right now with no outside undies. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Apr 8, 2015 |

To me the fact that he doesn't look like an awkward 19 year old makes a bigger difference.

So why is his cape the only part of the costume that isn't bulletproof?

One theory is that close-fitting fabric gets a protected by an energy field generated by his supercells. Cape, on the other hand, is too far out for the energy field to extend and protect.

Lurdiak posted:So why is his cape the only part of the costume that isn't bulletproof? John Byrne made up this thing: JediTalentAgent posted:One theory is that close-fitting fabric gets a protected by an energy field generated by his supercells. Cape, on the other hand, is too far out for the energy field to extend and protect. Much like most things Byrne, people tend to ignore it; in the current continuity his whole suit is made of Krypton superfabric.

A nice visual shorthand for "Superman has just gone through something that would shred a normal person" can be to have him looking fine, but his cape damaged and torn. Which, I suspect was what Howard Porter was going for here.

I accept comics broadly but Superman is usually the lamest, because everything they write for him is bad like that, and he coasts on being the "first" comic book superhero and thus never needing to be relevant or interesting. Anyway, I'll be nursing my pet hatred in this dark corner, please continue with thread.

I feel like this, but about Batman, the worst thing to ever exist and literally a black hole when it comes to being entertaining. It doesn't help that he also has my least favorite villain (Joker). I wish that stupid nerd tripe about how Batman could clearly beat every hero and villain on earth on his own never happened because it has made him insufferable in books, and his fans even more so. I do like most of the bat family though. Grayson, Tim, Damian, Barbara, Steph, Cass... All characters I find enjoyable if not amazing.

The best examination of Jor-El's ravings will always be during Frankie Boyle's Chain Reaction interview of Grant Morrison, where they note that it's pretty ironic that Jor-El sent his kid to another dying planet.
