“Mar-Vell died of cancer, a weirdly quiet death for a superhero...”

They at least would surely include the time that Rogue attacked Carol and absorbed her memories and powers. That was a pretty big deal.

You might be thinking of H. Jon Benjamin and his album Well, I Should Have...:

You’ll get no argument from me. I still marvel at how she is considered to be a sex symbol despite what appears to be her intentional effort to appear to be about 13-years-old. What baffles me though is how she got away with licking a donut that she then put back for someone else to unwittingly buy while saying “I…

Take heart! The original West Coast Avengers run was a four-issue limited series (the last four months of 1984). Then a 102-issue run began almost a year later (starting in October, 1985). If Marvel keeps upping the profiles of Kate, America Chavez, Gwenpool, etc. (all have been added to Marvel-based games in the past…

I hate to admit it, but I didn’t know about Nick Drake or “Pink Moon” until it was featured in that Volkswagen commercial years ago. I gobbled up every one of his albums almost immediately after that.

Oh, I was mostly kidding. I typically dig the tongue-in-cheek stuff, and from what I’ve seen of Kate and Clint I like ‘em as a duo (the kids share pages in the Line app chats that I’m in). We had some fun stuff like that back in my day, like when Impossible Man paid a visit and the annual Assistant Editors Month…

I’m so glad that I stopped reading comics back in the late ‘80s. I can just keep blissfully riding my wave of nostalgia for a simpler time when MODOK was just a guy who AIM foot soldiers pulled against his will from his entry-level technician job and genetically mutated him with a Cosmic Cube to have an all-time worst…

Phillis Wheatley? Monday morning poems all day long. James Baldwin? Total Wednesday brunch kind of guy.

Did I say anything about it teasing something?

Cool, so they're already a quarter way there!

Did you see that iO9 post about how the URL that Marvel sent out to guide people to their retro Captain Marvel website:

Though they may have topped their previous year’s audience size, Sunday’s telecast was still the second lowest rated ceremony in the show’s history.

We just got the Fantastic Four back in Marvel-based games as part of a full-court press to support the relaunch of their comic. I didn’t think that was going to happen for months. Namor is enjoying a renaissance of his own in the books; as skeptical as I would’ve been even last year, now I actually wouldn’t be…

He offers up the Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Avengers as examples of Marvel Studios having pulled this off before, even though cool Marvel fans had definitely known about Rocket Raccoon for years and plenty of people knew that the Avengers were hanging around somewhere while they read X-Men comics.

Yep—first it was the Chariot Grill, I believe, and now it’s called the Grand Central Café:

Or head cheese.

There are even other Joe’s locations now, and the original gas station Joe’s is still considered the best by we locals. 

Eh. If they can harness the genetic material from Grimace’s scrotum to make Josh Brolin look like Thanos, then making a bunch of Italian guys in a 2019 Scorsese movie look like a bunch of Irish guys in a 1989 Scorsese movie should be a breeze.

Agreed!
