So I started re-reading Hellblazer and kinda really liked Jamie Delano's stuff, then just finally hit Dangerous Habits and I'm like, nope, Ennis is the master.

I'm doing a Hellblazer readthrough again and I just realized Chas came up with Ubereats/Caviar 27 years ago.

I always assumed The Smiler was based off JFK (if JFK was evil, he is the one who started the Vietnam war), and then we all saw reflections of him in everything.

TwoPair posted:Does Marvel even have 666 villains? Like to hit that number you'd have to go for some ridiculously deep cuts plus deep cuts from other universes plus a bunch of randomly evil versions of heroes. I imagine eventually writers would just be going... "ummm... how about another Dr. Doom... only he's from Earth 1000... his deal is that his cape is orange?" I would assume the first half of the storyline would be Spidey just wiping the floor with like 85% of them and then being tired and worn out and having to face the one's people actually give a poo poo about. But there's easily 666 villains.

Mr. Maltose posted:I'd read a miniseries where every panel was Spider-man beating up a different bad guy every panel, honestly. Spidey facing 30 different Green Goblin knock-offs before fighting Norman Osborne has to be an actual comic that exists.

Now I'm trying to think of all the Green Goblin knockoffs. Hobgoblin obviously, Jack O'Lantern, Demogoblin, that one Green Goblin that was actually a good guy (seriously who does that? I'm not going to fight crime running around calling myself "Charles Manson"), Hemoglobin. I think I'm missing at least one

pubic works project posted:I caught it the name, but I'm exhausted today so I totally took it as something serious. I mean poo poo...it wouldn't surprise me if Marvel really had a dude named Hemoglobin. It's from an alternate universe where the Carnage suit possesses Norman Osborne.

I don't have pm's so I can't tell XO directly, and I don't want to screw up the new thread, but yelling "gently caress off Nazi" is a proven tactic to get Nazis to gently caress off. https://twitter.com/splinter_news/status/1051975490314166272

Alvarez IV posted:Shaving my head, borrowing a wheelchair, and puttering around all day in a sweater and tie while pretending to be able to read minds. That works really well because people will either say you're right or deny it in such a way that people will think you're right. Or they'll just tell you to gently caress off

Leaving this here because I imagine some of you are Brooklyn 99 fans as well as comic fans. https://twitter.com/iamstephbeatz/status/924513299730800640 Kinda wish there was a cosplay/costume thread, but I imagine it would get creepy fast.

https://twitter.com/dysart_james/status/1057442059064233984 I don't even know where to start with this. I can't think of a better example of someone pretending to care about comics they've never read.1) The Order is a comic where Dr. Strange and the rest of the original Defenders decide the best way to Defend Earth is to conquer it, (basically an early version of Marvel's Illuminati) AKA, they already evil. 2) How many times has Dr. Strange made deals with evil beings over the years? There are multidimensional Lovecraftian horrors that don't have enough fingers or other appendages to count the number of times that happened.

Endless Mike posted:Wow I can't believe Dr. Stange is a ~~Satanist~~! He typically sticks to good Christian elder gods like Hoggoth and Cyttorak when channeling spells! I can't decide if it's weird or absolutely fitting that Crimson Bands of Cyttorak is a binding spell, and Juggernaut gets his unstoppable powers also from Cyttorak

Senior Woodchuck posted:This gently caress has been going around starting poo poo with all sorts of creators. He claims JMS, Bendis, and various others ripped off Sins Past, House of M, and Miles Morales from his lovely fanfic he emailed somebody at Marvel about Peter getting stuck in an alternate reality where there are no heroes, marrying Gwen, and having a kid. Somehow Erik Larsen is involved too, and is a babykilling pedophile who loves the terrorist Obama. He's either trolling, completely off his gourd, or both. Oh, it's like that woman who claimed both the Terminator films and the Matrix films were ripped off something she wrote in the 80's (which is ridiculous, they were ripped off from stuff Harlan Ellison wrote in the 70's). Stephen Frye has a story about being with JK Rowling at a signing appearance for like the 5th book or something (he did all the audiobooks) and people would try and hand her their stories and there was someone there who's entire job was to physically intercept them before Rowling could touch them just to avoid this kind of thing.

Madkal posted:Which is kind of funny because Rowling totally ripped off Books of Magic There's like a bazillion stories about a young kid finding out they have magic powers, and they don't really share any plot beats. Neil Gaiman says she wasn't ripping him off and I think it's unlikely a single mother in the mid 90's was spending much time in comic book stores.
