Cornwind Evil posted:Which issue of the Dark Nights Metal storyline had the picture of a whole bunch of Dark Multiverse concepts on a splash page? The one I mainly remember was a 'Parasite Superman'. There were some others with a 'Cheetah Wonder Woman' and 'Riddler with a question mark shaved on his head', I found those, but I can't find that dark Parasite Superman and others splash page If I remember correctly it was Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl fighting them, so either the Hawkman Found issue or the last main Metal issue.

-The Immortal Iron Fist by Rucka, Fraction, Aja and Foreman (Kung-Fu action starting in the streets of Marvel New York and including a mystical martial arts tournament). -Bendis's run on Daredevil (it's basically what if everything goes wrong for Matt Murdock, but it's good comics). -Moon Knight by Ellis and Shalvey (It's only 6 very good issues of one and done stories). -Planet Hulk by Pak, Pagualayan and Lopresti (Hulk wrecks poo poo on an alien planet and finds himself). -Young Avengers by Gillen and Mckelvie (Stylish and fun comic and some questionable music choices for teens to listen to (Do people under 35 listen to Donna Summer?)). -Runaways by Rowell and Anka. (One of the best (if not THE best) Runaways series in a long time. Also, the best book out comic-fashion wise thanks to Anka). Vincent fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Dec 3, 2019 |

Where did the term “flat scan” to refer to humans came up in X-Men comics? I mean more “why flat scan” than what issue number.

There’s a biographical manga about a book shop employee and one of his responsibilities is to stock the American comics section (he notes that these books are bigger and heavier than manga) so I guess they do become translated, but mainly the TPBS. I used to do fan translation for cape titles to Spanish (for Chile and Southamerica) so yes, those do happen (or did. I stopped years ago). The South American (more specifically: Chile) situation right now is that the popular titles get translated by a publishing house (if they are not going out of business, which is more common than you would think) and you can find those issues in newsstands and comic shops. The shops, as you would imagine, carry way more stuff (more TPBS translated from Spain (gringo, euro and japanese comics) than single issues). There’s is one store and also a video game and geek poo poo brand (sort of like GameStop) that bring untranslated comics (single issues) but those are a bit more expensive than cover price. I don’t tend to buy translated comics and honestly since I can buy digital (I can use my card in comixology since amazon bought them) I don’t go to the shops much, so my info could be a bit out of date.

Here's what I think you need to know if you jump from Vaughn's to Rowells excellent current series (not necessary, 'cause things get explained when needed, but if you're curious): - Some of the runaways are 18 or 19 (not because of any comic-type stuff. Time just passed by). -Gert and Chase end up as girlfriend and boyfriend, it was quite sweet. Sadly, she died saving the team, and passed her control/connection of Old Lace to Chase. -Victor is a latino kid with electricity/magnetism sorta powers who they thought was Magneto's kid, turns out he's actually Ultron's kid (he's an android built by him). Who was prophesied to become "Victorious" a villain who would one day kill all superheroes and rule the world. He joins the team. Later, he was part of the Avengers A.I. team formed by Hank Pym, where he befriended another team member, a Doombot who knows it's a doombot, yet who still believes he's doom. He was one of the better characters of that series. Then, he was in Tom King's Vision, where Captain America asked him to spy on Vision and his new family, he accidentally killed his nephew/Vision's son after doing some robo-drugs. Vision, understandably, "killed" him (straight up destroyed his body). - Karolina realizes she's gay, came out to her friends and after some stuff, was in a relationship to Xavin, a skrull. They (Xavin) end up in space and Karolina remains on earth. Time passes and she and Julie Power (of the Power Pack) started dating. - Molly once beat up both The Punisher and Wolverine (not at the same time, but she deffo could if she wanted to). -The team traveled to the past (early 1900's New York) and find Klara, a girl who has the power to control and create plants (think poison ivy, but more vines and flowers than carnivore plants). Since she's an orphan with no family she joins the team and travels back to the present with them. THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR HER BIO. Powers-wise, everyone is the same, though Chase has realized that he's like, stupid good at building things. Don't remember if this was in the first series, but Karolina wears a bracelet so she's not rainbow/shiny all the time. That's pretty much it. Going into the current series you should also know that the artist, Kris Anka, is one of the best costume/clothes designers in comics right now, so everyone is gonna have immaculate fits. You really don't need to read Avengers Arena, it was poo poo, pretty much every writer has either ignored it or just added a little "oh yeah, CHARACTER NAME was in Avengers Arena" in pretty much every comic since then. Avengers Academy has a small arc with the Runaways, but is not really necessary to understand anything. Still, it's a pretty good series, so if you like teenage hero adventures, give it a shot.

Soonmot posted:Things Stamina and Durability seem super low. I thought being able to take a beating was his whole thing in the Hulk match ups. Hulk had more strength, but Ben was tougher. The classic issue with the intergalactic boxer was very much that: Ben might not be the strongest, but he'll endure pretty much just anything.  Even before that, in the Kirby and Lee days, that was Ben's thing. An unbreakable spirit (and some self hate) more than stamina.

I have a question about Hawkman (weird, right?). In his current series, he's Carter Hall, adventuring archaeologist, but from what I know of Hawkman (Carter Hall version) he's supposed to be incredibly violent, headstrong and just kinda brutal in his crime fighting, but in this series he's kinda...just boring? Like, he's not really violent or anything and he seems to have lived for a long, long time (long enough so that he has confidants, friends and helpers from around the world where he'd saved either their great grandfathers or something generations back). I know his whole reincarnation deal, but in his previous lives, he was different people. In this series the people he talks to give the impression that he's been around for a good hundred or so years. Did Hawkman got rebooted again when he came back in Metal? Is this Carter Hall the same violent guy from this panel? Has he always been alive since, like, the 1800's or something?

Selachian posted:I don't remember the details, but Mutant X took place in an alternate universe where Havok, rather than Cyclops, was the founding leader of the X-Men. Hence Mackie's freedom to go nuts as possible without screwing up the 616 continuity. Yup. Mutant X takes place in an alternate reality. Storm got turned int oa vampire by Dracula, Beast started experimenting even more into himself and turned green, dumb and aquatic, Ice-man got cursed by Loki and other things. It had some neat ideas.

In another world, it would've been canon that Viv Vision considers them family https://twitter.com/audkoch/status/1100960046349873153 Edit: Has there been an old Marvel superhero (I mean, like real-life old. Like a Timely character) who was retroactively made a mutant? I thought about Toro, but reading his wiki, it turns out he got re-retroactively made an inhuman. Edit edit: Besides Namor.

CopywrightMMXI posted:Is Taskmaster a mutant? Wikipedia says he was born with powers so I assume so, but I’ve never read enough with him to know if he’s considered a mutant. This is also an interesting point, since being born with powers is a-ok, but if you develop them during puberty, you're a mutant destined to be hated and feared. The puberty stuff is still a thing, right?

maltesh posted:Having set myself the Sisyphean task of burning through the entire Arrowverse, a question comes to my mind. In the comics, it's the Speed Force which prevents speedsters from catching fire, die and/or sonic-booming their surroundings any time they run faster than sound. I think Flash's costume (pre nu 52 armored costumes) only special thing was that it fit on his ring (also due to the Speed Force if I'm remembering correctly).

Happy Hippo posted:I just finished The Twelve after finding it on the cheap at my local Ollie's. Maybe I set my expectations low but I actually enjoyed it, despite the extremely obvious Watchmen-worship. If I remember correctly, Mastermind Excello appeared or was named in a single panel in Amadeus Cho's first appearance. The other character haven't appeared since and I don't think any of them have been in any comics even after the reboot at the end of Hickman's Secret Wars.
