Man, revolutionary artist but a weird dude. Helped create one of the most popular superheroes ever, and he gives less than a poo poo.

Joe Sinnott is still alive at 91. He inked a lot of early Marvel, including FF #5 and then almost all of the back half of the Lee/Kirby run and the lion's share of later issues into the early 1980s. Stan's brother Larry Lieber is 86, and scripted most of the early Iron Man and Thor stories and a bunch of other stuff of the era. Sal Buscema is 82 but he didn't break in at Marvel until 1968.

FutureFriend posted:how has the zub run of it been so far? something worth reading in general or pretty much just something to wait for when it hits marvel unlimited? It's only been a few issues so far, but I like it. It reminds me of Peter David's Young Justice, in that Zub is writing them like a bunch of teenagers who hang out rather than an organized super-team. https://twitter.com/HackinTimSeeley/status/1015266862463176704

Wow. Ditko. The past couple years I've been expecting Lee to go and didn't think about how Ditko must also be getting on in his years. Spider-Man has meant a lot to me, but it's weird to think that if I had ever expressed that to him (Ditko, not Spider-Man) he wouldn't have given a crap.

He's not original original but John Romita Sr. is still kicking too. Also, in looking up Joe Sinnott he may still be inking newspaper Spider-Man with Larry Lieber.

While sad to hear, I legit thought Ditko was already dead since he was such a recluse. But in that regard, I hope he was happy.

Marie Severin is still around! One of the great colorists and a majorly unsung figure of the early Marvel days! She also designed one of the most Ditko of all non-Ditko characters, the Living Tribunal!

Ditko has gone to the great Gulch in the sky. How many issues is Marvel rising? Its numbering has been really confusing, and the way the last issue ends makes it sound like it all ties up in the next issue.

Rhyno posted:Did child labor laws even exist in the 30s? The Fair Labor Standards Act passed in 1938. Before that (and, well, after that) it was a pretty vicious back and forth on both the state and the federal level. For example the Keatings-Owen Act in 1916 was supposed to discourage exploitive child-labor by curtailing interstate commerce of stuff produced by minors under *especially* nasty conditions (factories, mines, or very long shifts), but it was ruled unconstitutional and struck down within two years. It was a tough world for kids who were negative two.

Anyone reading Hulk? I get that they want to do horror with it but it's also kind of weird when the Hulk is also being Sherlock Holmes and Banner is Watson?

Teenage Fansub posted:Love it. There's some good rear end moments in the last one though. I mean I thought the fate of the bad guy was a bit much but then the reveal the son was ALSO alive and buried all this time was gosh. HULK DOESNT KILL. *so far in series, leaves one guy in a permanent coma, the other immortal person he rips the limbs off and buries him under a mountain*  The Sadistic Hulk might have been a more accurate title.

Al Ewing needs to get a prestige book toute suite. The dude's mind does not work the same way as anyone else at Marvel and I love it.

I'm not sure what you mean by prestige, because he's had like 27 different Avengers books and also the Loki book that could ignore most events when Loki was the most popular character from the films. He needs to find an artist he likes and can work fast and do a loving Image book that gets optioned for a tv show (doesn't really matter if the tv show gets made).

I guess I shouldn't have expected it to be longer if its mostly just to get people interested in the upcoming show. And yea I had to cancel a bunch of books because I don't have the money I used to have, so i had to be careful. Lucky there's only one Avengers right now, and a bunch of other books ended that I can replace, like Hawkeye will be replaced by West Coast Avengers.

Nilbop posted:USAvengers and Loki are not what anyone thinks of when they say prestige books. Then what's an example of a prestige book? I think it's either something like New Avengers (you know, Bendis' poo poo where they finally had both Spider-Man and Wolverine on the Avengers and was the catalyst for every event comic for the next decade) or something like Sandman (which is not comparable to anything that Ewing's written), or Mike Carey's Lucifer (which definitely feels like what Ewing was doing with Loki: Agent of Asgard).

For Marvel? Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, whatever the big X-Men book is. I'm talking about sales and visibility, which absolutely change over time but for something like Spidey and the prime X-Men book generally stay high in the charts and visibility. In my brain these titles are assigned to writers as rewards and if they've got a super good take. I'm sure someone could correct me on what the top consistent sellers generally are.

Immortal Hulk is one of the best Marvel titles in a while for me. The idea that Bruce Banner's lost a bit of his intelligence is interesting as well

Can someone give me a quick rundown of everything that's happened in Amazing Spider-Man from about the point where Superior Spider-Man ended? That's roughly where I stopped reading. Might come back now that Slott is finally gone.
