If anyone's allowed to still talk like he's being written by Stan Lee, it's Hawkeye.

Kalli posted:X-factor had pretty fantatic art. Pretty sure at one point Strong Guy references that tons of weirdoes live in DC to explain it all away. The Larry Stroman run on X-Factor are the only comics I deliberately saved from my Marvel phase as a 14-year old. I get it's not to everyone's taste, but considering it was all Leifeld, Jim Lee and that kinda stuff at the time, it was pretty bold.

They should lean into that characterization of him. I think Hawkeye should slip on a banana peel and say "Is diss a system??" every issue.

Well, Carol's costume probably won't be going back to the basics. Most have some iconic look they tend to come back too in some way. Except the mutants. They are weirdos, who can't settle on anything.

It's so weird seeing the old-school Hawkeye mask when I'm used to his new style and characterisation, which is just not someone who would ever wear that.

I was at UKCAC in the early '90s and Stan Lee did a talk, taking questions from the fans afterwards. Two questions stood out: 1) "When are Power Pack coming back?", and 2) "Why was Larry Stroman taken off X-Factor?", to which Stan replied, "I didn't even know Larry Stroman was on X-Factor..."

'Ham-and-egger' means someone who's just doing well enough to buy a plate of ham and eggs for dinner and that's about it.

IIRC, Stroman made a lot of money on Tribe, like most people on that Image gravy train. And unlike most people who got that big payday, he immediately invested it wisely and basically never has to work again. So he went away to do other things for over a decade and only came back to comics because he enjoys it.

Back in the 80's David Michellene and Bob Layton did a Hercules series set in the future. There was an alien who had a robotic Galactus to con planets so he could Rob them. Maybe it's like the space version of a long con. The Sting but with sci-fi.
