Just America. Or Ms. Chavez.

Also: super gay.

Edit: guess she does go by Miss America sometimes (according to Wikipedia). I've never seen her do that.

Where does Adam Warlock dying and coming back to life to save everybody on an alternate Earth on the other side of the sun fit into Christian theology? It wasn't covered in my Catholic schooling.

Her wikipedia doesn't have anything since Saga and a bit of Archie years ago. Image's website shows references to two books since Saga, which I believe were alt covers.

Wikipedia says:
To coordinate the storyline and sequence of event, from January 1991 to January 2002, "triangle numbers" (or "shield numbers") appeared on the cover of each Superman comic book. During these years, the Superman storylines ran with the story continuing through the titles Superman, Action Comics and later in two further series, Superman: The Man of Steel and Superman: The Man of Tomorrow

Edit: a random Google spreadsheet I found says #3 was Action Comics 661, though.

The mainly cover that era, including lots of long interviews, though from an artist's perspective.

I just read the 2004 Warlock mini-series by Greg Pak. Meh. But does Lady Warlock ever show up again? I kinda feel like it's an idea that got dropped so fast, especially with Annihilation happening two years later..

Doesn't seem to be the same character. Found Kismet on Marvel.com and they list Janie Chin (this character) as a relative, and there's no page for Janie Chin on the website.

Meh. It's weird cause it doesn't seem to link to the larger Marvel Universe until the end and that's kinda unsatisfying. And it doesn't appear to have gone anywhere.

It was 4 issues on Marvel Unlimited and took me like 30 minutes to read, so if you're interested...

I kinda liked the idea of Warlock becoming a mentor to a younger version of himself. It's certainly more interesting than anything Starlin has done with him since the original Infinity Gauntlet.

Yeah, but what I got out of it was making the moral decision is hard, good luck!, which is why I wasn't satisfied.

I'd argue that people were fine with the latter and felt that was a good enough hook that the gore was an unnecessary attempt to be edgy.

This was my feelings. It started as a refreshing upbeat story and then it all came crashing down and I immediately lost interest. I was reading so many blood and guts things at the time that it didn't feel worth keeping up with.

To be fair, I haven't paid attention to Marvel events since, like, Original Sin? Secret Wars? Until the X-reboot, I'd only been reading Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl and Runaways.

I feel like that should have been mentioned in Ms Marvel, seeing as the idea is her name was co-opted for the law. Plus Ahmed definitely had it come up in Spider-Man with his not!AOC character palling around with Cap and supporting kids protesting the law

I'd imagine it has, I haven't kept up with the title in at least 18 months.

Reading late 90s and early 00s X-Men and there's just chunks of, like, Cable missing. Was reading The Shattering and it feels like the main plot of the crossover happens in a title that isn't on Unlimited at all (it's on comiXology).

I've found stuff for sale on comiXology that's not for reading on Unlimited.

Maybe it's a file format issue and they need to spend the man hours to convert?

Maybe it's buying vs "streaming" rights?

No idea.

Heh, reminds me of Dave Sim getting sick of people downloading illegal scans before he had hi-res retouched files available for purchase, so he just downloaded the scans himself and put them up for sale at a lower price rate to fill in the gaps.

Speaking of Ellis, he wrote an issue of Hellblazer that was fully drawn and inked and then spiked because it was about school shootings. Never published but has been leaked online fully so it's not hard to find.

It came out eventually.

I think it's the only Hellblazer comic I own, funnily. Probably the only one I've read.

I just read Planet Sized X-Men and it made me think of Hickman's Avengers run, my question in the spoilers for his Avengers and the main theme of Planet Sized X-Men.

Wasn't there a big ado with super beings being on Mars in Avengers? I remember them setting up some sort of society there. Seems like the whole X-Men thing would have broken something, which means either that was retconned or has become ignored. Anyway, what happened to all that?

...so did Jack Kirby actually let Stan off the hook or not? I watched a video about Tom King's Mr.Miracle and how it's a big tribute to Jack, but they talk about the "Jake and I have nothing to reproach ourselves about!" line and Stan claimed Jack said that to him at a convention. I know Mark Evanier says it never happened, but weirdly, the video ignores (?) or is unaware of that quote despite quouting the Evanier book about Kirby.

I know Stan was full of it on a lot of things.But Mark has always been fiercely protective of Jack's legacy. And he might see this as a lapse if integrity.

I'm no historian, especially about Jack and Stan, but from what I've heard, a lot of Jack's later day statements should be taken with a grain of salt. He (supposedly) wasn't all there in the end.
