TwoPair posted:You know, it's weird, I keep expecting to get tired of it, but I really like them going back to this universe over and over. Seeing the same thing from different angles is just kinda fun, I guess. Marvel Zombies definitely came out the gate stumbling, but a lot of good comics were made before it became completely stale. Army of Darkness vs Marvel Zombies alone justifies everything that came before.

Mister Roboto posted:I like how the old comic is still refusing to keep up with the times and keeping JJJ as a crusty old newspaper editor behind an old desk. Updating Jonah Jameson pretty much ruins the point of Jonah Jameson. He was an old-fashioned throwback even in the 60s. E: Plus why on earth should a newspaper comic be expected to keep with the times in any way? They're still printing Dick Tracy for god's sake.

Pacra posted:Wait, he's gone and someone brought the awful characterization back? Did they hate fun or something? That's the only explanation I can figure, yeah. Jeff Parker's a good writer but he felt the need to get rid of Aaron Stack and bring back boring-rear end Machine Man, right down to his stupid swimming cap outfit.

Everyone also felt Bendis missed an opportunity at "swerving" people in USM by having it be May who dies, but in his words "That doesn't need fixing. It works." And I agree. Boy loses a father figure and has to become a man. Boom. Even with the most modern possible view on gender roles, a boy losing his mother figure is quite a different narrative arc.

Lobok posted:True Fact: The "high five" was invented by undercover Nazis as a hasty way of correcting themselves if caught in the middle of a Heil Hitler salute. It's an interesting quirk of history that the phrase "don't leave me hangin'" was thus coined by non-native speakers of English. I don't think that's the link you wanted to post.

TwoPair posted:Goddamn, I love that panel. I really love the narration too, and feel that it too often gets overlooked in favor of just gazing at the rad image. You just don't get intros like "The indestructible Nick Fury appears like a human cyclone to face a new foe!" anymore. What the heck is going on with Deadpool's speech bubble there? Is it a printer error or some kind of effect to convey his voice being gravelly?

Vicissitude posted:Does Spidey not remember that Carnage is immune to sonics? I see to remember that as a plot point in Maximum Carnage. That's why they needed Firestar to help take him down. You're misremembering. Symbiotes are weak to fire and sonics, and Carnage is no exception. Spidey goes and gets the sonic gun from the FF, they only get Firestar as well to hedge their bets. I think there's a mention that Carnage seems to react a bit more to fire and a bit less to sonics than Venom but it still works on him.

Boogaleeboo posted:It must loving suck to be a genius scientist in the Marvel Universe with Reed Richards hanging over your head. I'm surprised more people don't pull a Doom. There was a story in the late 90s where some guy had finally finished his jankety, hulking prototype shrinking machine after nearly a decade of research, and a week before he presented it to investors, Reed Richards just casually mentioned he was putting a finalized handheld shrinking and growing ray on the market. The guy completely lost it and enacted a very pathetic revenge plan that ended up with Psycho Man abducting him to torture him in the microverse. Wooo, go Reed!

Based on the last two panels, I choose to believe Tony's Avengers com-card has a secret program that takes the standard com-link bust holo and draws the rest of the body in so Tony has something to ogle.

Metal Loaf posted:Has Marvel become really, really good over the past couple of years? The last major storyline I read was Civil War and a lot of the Dark Reign stuff that followed it didn't really interest me (though by that point I'd sort of stopped reading new superhero comics). They've got some really awful stuff and a bunch of by the numbers books, but there's also been a number of runs by certain writers and artists that have been some of the best comics to come out in years, if not decades.
