TwoPair posted:Like, come on guys, it took me two seconds to google "superhero debut 1992" to learn that War Machine debuted there but I guess no one likes him enough to give poor Rhodey a page. And Jim Rhodes himself first appeared in 1979, and first appeared as Iron Man in 1983. So really any of these years would be kind of arbitrary, but probably better than the eighth or ninth Spider-Man page. There was also a story about how they originally had it lined up with the Deadpool movie coming out in 2013 (as opposed to 2016, when it came out) and they realized the error after the majority of pages were already assigned/finished so they had to do some creative shuffling to have everything line up. I generally agree it would have been better to have this be two separate projects, and to have at least one of them revamped/rethought significantly.

site posted:the thing that made me laugh the hardest so far was having kareem abdul-jabbar write the jessica jones page and then having LITERALLY THE NEXT PAGE be kelly thompson writing someone else Kareem just wrote on the last season of Veronica Mars, and he's a published mystery author, so having him write a Jessica Jones page wasn't completely random, and Kelly's written a lot of Elsa Bloodstone, and she got to do more Jeff the Landshark content.

The cover of the first appearance has "War Machine" over the logo but wasn't it the "Variable Threat Response" suit until Rhodes officially took the WM name?

There are a bunch of characters/teams/concepts that end up not getting their own page, Luke Cage is high on the list, but so are Namor, Ms. Marvel, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thanos, Venom, Runaways, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Elektra, Iron Fist, the Avengers, Defenders, Thunderbolts, New Mutants, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. I get it because the project was clearly serving two masters: 1) Al Ewing had this idea and thought it would be fun, and wrote 20 pages setting up the Black Rider and the Infinity Mask 2) There were sixty other pages where they wanted to get a bunch of big names to contribute, mostly attached to characters they worked on in the past. So if Phil Lord/Chris Miller, Gerry Conway, Brad Meltzer, Priest, Erik Larsen, Donny Cates, J. Scott Campbell, Jason Reynolds, Dan Slott, and JMS all say "cool, we want to do a Spider-Man themed page" who are you going to give 1962 to? (as it turns out Lord/Miller got 1962, and Reynolds did a Miles Morales page which fits into the 2011 slot) but the other eight all got pushed into other years. Plus 1962 was also the year that Thor, Loki, Doctor Doom, the Hulk, and Rick Jones all debuted, who each got one or more pages devoted to them. So you find other tentpoles to stick things to: Spider-Man's black costume debuted in 1984, so you can stick on there! Except none of the people listed above want to write about the black costume. But also no one is doing any pages about Transformers, the Beyonder, or Power Pack, so 1984 is free. Luke Cage debuted in 1972, but the 1972 page was given to Blade, who actually debuted in 1973. But 1973's page is the Death of Gwen Stacy, which bumped the Punisher (who debuted in 1973) to 1975. White Tiger debuted in 1975, but got slotted into 1976 because he didn't get his own series until a few months later. But the two White Tigers featured on the page first appeared in 2003 and 2011, respectively. And the White Tiger spun off from the group Sons of the Tiger, so conceptually the whole thing started in 1973, but as we have discussed, 1973 was taken. All told only 35 of the 80 "years" match the first appearances of any of the characters mentioned, and of those 35 just under half (17) are the Al Ewing connective tissue pages.

The whole structure was a bit weird and mostly bound to be so. Obviously the events weren't evenly spaced out. Some years had lots of stuff, some less so. As far as I recall there wasn't even a page for Squirrel Girl even though she's on the cover.

No Squirrel Girl, no Ghost Spider/Spider-Gwen, no Kamala Khan, no Thanos, and Colossus, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler only appear in a big group montage. And they're all on the cover. Actually I just checked, Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl are both in the big panel of everyone fighting Fin Fang Foom on the X-23 page!

A shepherd protecting his flock from the wolf without them needing to know is a cool visual metaphor for this.

It's not like any of the dates were entirely aribrtary (except maybe the OMIT for Campbell's story - which doesn't even mention the story by name, so it just sounds weird).

I guess as any anthology some things were gonna be good and some just OK. Overall I liked it, but in the end, some of the choices make me like it less than I wish I did like how is Cable and X-Force more important for 2013 than the first issue of Ms Marvel? or the whole Waid essay thing

Got the Powerpack one shot today, it's a cute and fun read that's appropriate for all ages, until you remember how Kitty Pryde's phasing powers work and her and Wolverine's history with the brood and realize they murdered the gently caress out of those brood the moment the kids were away I think Louise Simonson was editing X-Men during the first Brood saga so there's no way it was unintentional.

I was blown away by Absolute Carnage Symbiote Spider-Man #1. It barely ties into Absolute Carnage, which was fine by me, as the central tale of the tourist who was briefly Symbiote'd after it escaped the Baxter Building and White Rabbit was really compelling, with fantastic art from Mobili. I really am digging the mix of Agents of Atlas too. The cast are such delightful goobers, making the book great fun, and this opening arc has a great hook and some nice swerves from what you'd expect. particularly with Isaac. Future Foundation is wholesome AF. Apart from The Maker. site posted:you know, im regretting seeing the return of rachael cole-alves in punisher because of course rosenberg just had her immediately becoming a hostage. looking forward to watching her die to make franks fight against zemo more "dramatic" Just want to mention that The Naked Gun style close range shooting and missing was incredible in this issue too, even allowing for comics. But yeah, boo to Rachel being a hostage. She'd better free herself, at minimum.
