It always bugged me that even at the time the Makers were being written as this unstoppable alien race far beyond our power whose return meant our certain doom, Hickman was also telling us about the Ivory Kings, an even more unstoppable alien race even farther beyond our power whose return meant our even more certain doom. Really took the stings and triumphs out of Infinity for me. It was impossible to stop looking past the crisis when we constantly got told how bad the next one would be.

Where were the Ivory Kings mentioned? I totally must've missed them somehow, as I always thought the Makers were the Biggest of Bads. Wonder if he was just setting them up for an "Infinity" like event down the line.

Swan mentions them in New Avengers, I think. Right at the end of Infinity,

The ivory kings get mentioned by black swan a bunch and then again around the time doom meets up with Dr strange near the end right before it's revealed they're the beyonders

The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

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

Fun fact in one issue (it's after Infinity) someone mentions the Ebony King's.
It turned out that this was a mistake and was supposed to be Ivory King's. But for weeks fans were convinced that there was another faction of big bads out there, waiting to be revealed.

And while Hickman stuck the landing hard with the end of all the Incursion stuff one leading theory about the Ebony King's/Ivory Kings/ Mapmakers etc.. was that they were all the end results of the various members of the Illuminati (Dr. Strange, Black Bolt, Ironman etc...) going all mad and powerful and destroying the multi verse.

It was a cool theory because it played into the narrative that the ultimate biggest threat faced by the Illuminati was one they had created and were perpetrating.

I'm around 400 chapters behind the current, but it looks like Franky's redesign doesn't get any better, does it.

Original Franky was a masterpiece and while I've made piece with his redesign it is a huge downgrade.

Honestly, while I usually like timeskips for whatever reason, the one in One Piece really killed my momentum and interest. I've been going through it on the Jump app, but now I'm kind of forcing myself to get back to it, rather than being compelled to. That, and original Franky was, indeed, perfection.

I love seeing Jimbei interact with the crew but it's so weird having a former captain just decide he absolutely wants to join Luffy to the point of abandoning his own crew. It never really worked for me.

On a side-note, can we agree Chubby Kung-Fu Chopper is best Chopper?

Honestly that did the exact same thing to me. Nami and Robin's redesigns don't really help either, nor do their role in the story to when I finally dropped off.

Doctor Strange somehow became the leader of the Black Priests at one point, their power being the words of power. Not sure how that concluded though.

This could have gone to the Funny Panels, but I decided it was better here..

Gee, I always wondered.. what if you gave someone other than Rex Tyler some Miraclo?

Context: Dr. Mid-Nite and Hourman are up against a minion of Stalker, an apocalyptic demi-god villiain.
Hooty, Dr. Mid-Nite's mascot, has attacked the minion, but he has the power of plagues and he blasts Hooty point blank.
Mid-Nite tries to think of a way to save his beloved pet, but Hourman offers a suggestion..

Smash Comics #1 (1999)












Earlier in the story, McNider related to Rex his origin story; Hooty was instrumental in guiding McNider back to a life of meaning after he was struck blind by explosives, so he is super grateful to him.

This scene, went to the Funny Pages.. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3691736&pagenumber=874&perpage=40#post507919123
