In the Marvel Universe's "Brooklyn 99," Jake's background includes at least three attempts at an origin.

Vulpes Vulpes posted:I got the lettered art for my Edge of Spider-Verse #1 book and it looks v. good, and I remembered that it has the best joke I have ever written in it (a personal opinion that does not reflect the views of Marvel or the general comic-buying public). You should post some of the art after the book is released. I still have the opening splash of your last issue as my Facebook background. Spider-Punk rules. Is Gerard Way doing the SP//DR one shot?

Oh God, I never even thought of that. How weird does TV have to be in comic books? Instead of random love triangles to boost ratings, is it random super villains? Super villain love traingles? ...actually isn't that just how actual soap operas worked in the real 70-80's?

I bet it's a "truth is stranger than fiction" type scenario and when a show does an arc inspired by the events of X-tinction Agenda or whatever, the public find it wildly implausible and roll their eyes at the outlandish, "billionaire's college friend turns into evil cyborg president of an island nation" plot.

Reading the new Jessica Jones and I can't remember the last Spider-Woman appearance I saw. Why the hell does the super hero who wanted a kid but not a man, so she got a sperm doner, and is now dating the reformed super villain who became her nanny not have a solo series anymore? Age that kid up and have him be best friends with Luke and Jessica's kid.

So somebody put into perspective why these Captain Marvel books maybe keep being not so good - if you're going to establish the character as your top-flight female hero don't keep throwing her back in time or trying to explore her abusive family or have her administer a space station - just let her do that hero stuff. I think there's something to it. (In other news, The Life of Captain Marvel isn't what I wanted.)

Anyone else still enjoying the Avengers? It's kind of a weird helter-skelter comic at the moment, but it's giving Robbie Reyes a ton to do and that's been really entertaining for me. I'm finding that I'm not the biggest fan of Jason Aaron's approach to Loki, though. The issues are much more magnified in this book where he's just outright playing a speechifying villain role, but there's shades of this pretentious "lol you all suck and I'm the greatest even though I haven't really done anything all that cool or interesting" persona in Aaron's Thor book as well.

I think there's something to it. (In other news, The Life of Captain Marvel isn't what I wanted.) I agree, they just need to have her do some Unequivocal Good, possibly on Earth and not in space to add more humanity to it. At this point I'm struggling to separate the various attempts to rehab Carol from the stories I'm reading. Plus, The Life Of Captain Marvel is really confusing in terms of the new family retcons plus these spoilers: She smashes her Dad's gravestone due to her unaddressed feelings (which earlier led to her brutalising two villains she outclassed while the Avengers watched on before she has a panic attack), while letting her brother drive drunk and crash, giving himself significant brain damage before she can rescue him. She's also apparently not addressing her issues during her brother's 9 months recovery, and just grows her hair out while ignoring Tony and the Avengers, whom she is apparently cool with in this, despite just fighting with him in Avengers over CWII. I know Reed's run changed her family history a bit from Claremont's stuff, particularly her Dad, but I remember thinking it really interesting how she had no memories or connection to this family, whom she had a complex relationship with even with her memories, and how this was explored. In this, she kinda came back, acted strangely, and then the ending plot hook happens, abruptly changing it into more standard superhero fare.

And on a minor note actually reading attempts at a New England accent (of the 'pahk the cah in the yahd next to the gahden' variety) also really did not appeal.

So Christopher Priest is writing a Kaine led Spider-Team book called Spider-Force. The new Spider-Gwen book is apparently called Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider.

Spider-Force is a 3 issue mini apparently. They also announced Spider-Girls by Jody Houser, which is also a 3 issue mini. It's all tie-ins to Spider-geddon and my interest has tanked.

That doesn't tank my interest at all. Spider-Verse was great and brought in a lot of great ideas from many people. So I'm excited to see something in that vein again. Also for anyone that still cares about Miracleman, apparently all the obstacles have been cleared for really real this time and they are back at work on it.

Their review was... interesting. It's a bit much, but he does nail the broad strokes of the problem with the issue. Too heavy on soap opera elements it didn't need (as opposed to the ones already there and they could have used, mind). Carol's still not really doing hero stuff. Not paying attention to her past. I genuinely go back and forth on continuity being a chain and wishing people would pay more attention.
