In the earliest Stan Lee comic (pre-FF #1) to mention the idea of a community of mutants, they were all telepaths, and I think that sticks a little bit into the Silver Age. Magneto definitely could just control minds at first, and then they tied it into his magnetism powers later, and eventually just sort of stopped using it.

I remember in the 90's he used his magnetism powers to cure Boom Boom's brain damage.

Wasn't Tony redeemed by having his character get amnesia specifically about all the rear end in a top hat things he had done? I remember being horribly disappointed at that, but I also hit my head a lot.

He wasn't redeemed by that, he was redeemed by being able to look at all the poo poo he'd done from an outside perspective and be wholly and truly sorry for the pain he'd put his friends through.

Thor adopts a civilian identity to stay incognito in New York, and gets mad when the Avengers visit him. West Coast Avengers Annual #1



I just really like the facts that 1) Incognito he still uses Thor speak, 2) That this is somehow a worse civilian costume than Clark Kent's glasses, and 3) that Thor intentionally went full yuppie, sweater over the shoulders and all.

I''m guessing Hercules secret identity during Civil War was a direct riff on this?

Despite it's sterling reputation a lot of the humor in Nextwave is pretty forced, but more than enough of it lands.

That issue also features Mindless Ones on skateboards with backwards baseball caps. That can forgive a lot.

Warren Ellis was once described to me as the comic equivalent of your mom forwarding you those "funny internet videos" and I can't see him as anything else when it comes to his humor.

I assume Doom was out on a date with Gretchen, and the Shroud just showed up to crash it.

Nope, it's canon now that Doom was referring to the Shroud as "Gretchen". Also canon is that Doom will be portrayed by John C McGinley in all comics, it's why he cares so little for Hugh Jackman.

That entire scene from Sex Criminals 3 should be posted. Basically, they wanted to do karoke with Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls, but couldn't secure the rights in time, so the entire song is "censored" with Fraction's post it notes.

Also, the recap page needs to be here, that got an actual lol from me.

I'm not saying he's lying or anything, it just astounds me how far ahead of his work Ellis apparently operates at to keep having the single data loss be the root of so much lost effort.

I wouldn't call it working too far ahead but he does write a lot of scenes before he has a story for them. The ayahuasca scene from Dr. Sleepless showed up on his blog about 6 years before the book was published.
