Old Kentucky Shark: May 25, 2012; If you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then, you won't.

History of the Marvel Universe #6 basically confirmed this with its look into the future.

Also congrats to Tony Stark and Emma Frost on their upcoming nuptials I guess.

Well that sure is something nobody ever wanted ever.

New Warriors was the 90�s, especially the earnest and embarrassingly clueless attempts to be progressive. They even had a handicapable female minority superhero, and a character whose superpower was kickin rad skateboard tricks.

It's maybe the best mainstream comic book currently being published.

For a (very apropos) second, I thought the "Chris Claremont" label was attached to the giant pile of money and not the guy in the X-Man t-shirt.

Doom, Conan, and Dr. Strange went on a magical adventure recently, and it was everything I never knew I wanted.

Couldn't he just get killed by Apocalypse and sort the whole thing out?

In the (not very good) X-Men/Fantastic Four miniseries they implied that the loss of his powers has an underlying cosmic cause, so destroying and resurrecting his body wouldn't fix it unless you first found and removed the cause at the source.

Also everyone was too damned scared of Sue Storm to even think about it.

Yeah that's up there with the Medieval Spawn lawsuit in being one of the greatest own goals in comics legal history.

I'm working my way through X-Men chronologically and I'm in '83 right now and Claremont is still in his "Storm absolutely must get naked at least every three issues" phase. Rogue was just introduced so I'm imagining that she's next because a naked Rogue is a very dangerous Rogue.

I swear to god someone in management must have had a talk with him at some point because soon after that he transitioned to �and in this story the x-men�s uniforms are shredded, reducing them to wearing Mad Max style scraps� every five issues instead of Storm shower scenes and Hellfire Club corsets.

So much Savage Land.

Still waiting on the marriage of Tony Stark and Emma Frost though.

On the one hand, it's stupid and I don't like it.

On the other hand, it will inevitably feature the White Queen in a flying diamond-armored mecha-corset.

Yeah, if it's not a misdirect it's straight up garbo.

It makes perfect sense; wolverine�s claws extrude out of portals to the claw dimension.

The Question IRL posted:

Funny, my mind goes to the first Authority series. Maybe it's the artwork of Byran Hitch?

If I was asked to define it, I would say it was very much a conscious decision bu the artist/writer to have a team that is devoted to dealing with threats that effect millions of lives, if not the entire planet or more of space.

It is story telling on a grand scale trying to emulate a Hollywood Blockbuster film but as a comic.

The thing I'll always associate with "Widescreen" comics was Nick Fury and Hank Pym in the Ultimates 1 debating which actor would play them in the movie version, and Nick Fury looking full on into the fourth wall and saying "I hope it's Samuel L Jackson."

They should do this for real. Everyone would be angry and the unhinged takes would be great.

I�m in favor of it just so I can see people who haven�t been paying attention lose their minds in real time when Wolverine is one of the ones that gets sent to Wokeworld.
