Loeb's Nova is the closest the Nova concept has been to Marv Wolfman's original intent of making the next Spider-Man. Ed McGuiness makes him look amazing. Also check out Original Sin #0 after those Nova issues.


Loeb's run on Nova, you mean, right?

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


Same thing. Loeb created Sam Alexander.

Nova and Spider-Man being on the Avengers reminded me of something I heard about cinema. To avoid a black/white biracial relationship they would pair the black or white male with a hispanic woman.

I loving hate Sam and the only saving grace of him being on the avengers is that Kamala can't seem to stand him either.

You're half right, people don't really give a poo poo about whatever race a white dude dates in movies/tv, but if it's a black male lead the love interest is usually also black or hispanic.

It didn't occur to me until today that the "NOT A DREAM! NOT AN IMAGINARY STORY!" blurbs Stan Lee put on the covers to a bunch of Silver Age Marvel comics were a dig at DC.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

No, DC did it a loving bunch too. Dreams and imaginary stories (and eventually hoaxes) were cop-outs used so often to explain the lunacy happening on the covers that as soon as fans saw something nuts happening they'd immediately go "oh, it's a dream or imaginary story or hoax, whatever", and so the publishers started putting explicit denials that they were using those cliches to make people interested in the whole "wait so how are you getting out of this one" thing they needed to be buying into so that they'd actually buy the comic.

Will Smith has done nothing but obeying the rules though. His movies are intentional made non-threatening in order to appeal to everyone.

Planet Hulk is great, World War Hulk is worth reading and def has some cool moments and tie ins. Do not, under any circumstances, read any of the Son of Hulk stuff. If you ignore this warning and persist in reading Son of Hulk, you MUST not continue reading after issue #13. This is the most important thing you will read in this thread. gently caress to Hiro-Kala.

Well it's a bittersweet love story, but I don't think the criteria for "love interest" is "they have to end up together". Tis better to have loved and lost.

Captain Marvel Danvers is nowhere near well-liked enough to make this a situation where you actually are torn between sides. Tony's also been such an rear end in a top hat for so long that it's not very appealing to pick his side. And the conflict is Mega-Dumb. RT if you agree.
