Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

I am having trouble phrasing this. Is a boxer's face considered something good? Batroc's face is certainly prettier than say Stallones.

A boxers face was always regarded as being ugly, or something that was pretty before it was damaged. It was someone who had been punched in the face often and usually had their nose broken and reset multiple times.

That's on me- I had the image of Renato Arlem's Batroc in mind, who was more of a beautiful brute, but never really made that clear in the script, and Mike's Batroc ended up prettier.

The story is okay at best and really wants you to care about whatever Cates is doing with Venom and symbiotes and everything, but the art is just incredible.

I was interested in where they’d go with Knull at first but it’s been disappointing that the answer was “nowhere” and then “back to Carnage for the umpteenth time”. How many times have they done the “Carnage is back and he’s made a bunch of other people Carnage Jrs” anyways? Like at least 4, right?

Carnage USA was probably the last great Carnage story.

Shame about Cates Venom. That first arc fired on all cylinders.

The best thing Bendis ever did at Marvel was have Sentry tear Carnage in half and leave him in space.

Surfer didn't join so much as he appeared and then got sucked into a black hole. Literally. That leads into the aforementioned Silver Surfer: Black.

Kind of a slow month for Immortal Hulk but I guess the cosmic stuff they built up last week will tie back in pretty soon. I'm in for Hulk smashing capitalism in any case.

On the other hand I'm not sure this is a writing error or a commentary on how dumb shock jocks are...



In non-Hulk matters it was fun to see Drumheller in the Absolute Carnage Weapon Plus tie-in but I'd have liked to see more terrible giant dinosaur statues and fewer rolling hills of evergreens to get the true Drumheller vibe.

We were going to put Carnage in a Wexit shirt but thought it would take away from his credibility.

Immortal Hulk and Daredevil were both very good this week. Chip! Zdarsky is handling the emotional shading of both Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk very well but I miss his lighter work.

Edit: Enjoyed Black Cat as well. It stole a blender for my heart.

Immortal Hulk was definitely interesting. I feel like the Amadeus of a few years ago might've been right by Banner's side in all this, but it certainly makes sense that the Amadeus who's been hanging out with the Champions and the Agents of Atlas these past couple years might not be extraordinarily gung ho about Woke Hulk's fun new radicalism.

Namor, though. :allears:
