Is Kamogawa still alive and teaching horrible loving boxing like "just take the hits with your JAPANESE COURAGE" which is probably why Ippo has CTE at like 25?

both in manga and in anime I found the look away hilarious mainly because the opponent had to try so hard to resist the urge. cat curiosity and all that.

Yes and no he doesnt tell takamura to just take hits cause that would get him killed.

I think this was the thread that clued me into the new Exiles run, and it's definitely the thread that occasionally gets interested in showing time passage in interesting ways.

Creel is presumably here as a result of what happened to him in Black Bolt.

They're both in this version of Hell due to the battle that went down several issues ago in Immortal Hulk. They were both alive, Creel had been powered up by the Hulk hunting unit.

Puck was in hell after the died by Xorn The Collective. He went to hell, helped wolverine escape, and actually ruled it for a while until he escaped during Fear Itself, so he's familiar with it. He's part of the new Alpha Flight, lead by Carol Danvers, and is on a special Hulk Hunting Unit called Gamma Flight. He found Creel after Creel absorbed the Hulk's excess Gamma (which is why Hulk looks emaciated with loose flaps of skin everywhere) and accidentally became a Gamma irradiated door into hell, the he recruited him to help them bring Banner back.

I'm really sorry about the quality of these images, but Avengers 13 this week is so drat good.

It's the story of the first Iron Fist, the woman who punched a dragon. She teaches martial arts to cave men and K'un-L'un is like 'hey, that's crimes and we're going to kill them all and then you' and Fan Fei is all 'actually, up yours.'

These aren't the most badass moments from the book, you should read the whole thing.

I only have excellent ideas
It was very very good and the cover was very very bad. I like Aaron's Avengers a lot-- it's throwing a lot in the air and it has the potential to implode under its own weight, but it feels so much joyous and playful than the last big "ideas" run on the series with Hickman.

I practically guarantee you he wanted to call it "Krakatoa Face Exploda" but had to forego the rhyme in order to pretend it was a real martial arts technique.

One of my favorite bits of business from the Fraction/Brubaker/Aja run of Iron Fist is this scene where Danny and Orson are fighting a ton of Hydra, and it's a mostly dialogue-less scene where they gently caress poo poo up while the narration provides names like "Raging Swallow Strike" "Palm of 40 Sorrows" and then one of the last ones is "Brooklyn Headbutt".
