It makes me feel really old to say this but: THIS THIS 100 TIMES THIS.

That (last) time Magneto went full Nazi:

I know the way we are mostly talking about this on the internet is saying Hydra=Nazis=Bad=Captain America=Also Bad?

but in the actual book it’s being treated with more care than that. Red Skull is explicitly trying to distance himself from the 1939 German Nazis (sort of like the actual Steve Bannon Nazis are doing…

The reception has been bad, but I’d argue the timing was intentional. Specifically, it was at the beginning of the Trump campaign, pointing out how easily Americans could be persuaded towards fascism (albeit, with heavy handed comic book plot developments).

We’ll see how this shakes out, but featuring Magneto on a variant cover seems small potatoes next to everything that happened at the end of Grant Morrison’s run, where Magneto took over Manhattan, built concentration camps for humans, and literally sent them into the ovens.

From what I understood, Han Solo not only took the most dangerous route, due to the silly gravitational effects of how Star Wars writers through black holes worked in the 80s and 90s, he was the only one stupid/ballsy enough to pass within the event horizon and compress spacetime. So Han Solo really did make the…

Actually, if I may, an excerpt from my review, written a few days ago in anticipation of the... discourse.

“Whether or not you buy into that depends on what kind of person you are. If you live at the intersection of super-strong lesbian Latina life and zany Grant Morrison-like weirdness, this is gonna be your new…

The issue does a pretty good job at setting up America, who is SUPER WEIRD.

Here’s the primer:

America Chavez is from the Utopian Parallel, a miniture dimension created by a wizard. Her moms (both of them) died in service to protecting the Utopian Parallel from extra-dimensional invaders.

America can fly, is super…

What, in your view, is the message of the book? I just reviewed this first issue for another site, and agree, it is very message heavy. I don’t know if you’ve read the issue yet, but what did you mean by “message heavy”?

Hey Alliterator- they are the two main characters, and it is fun, and both creators are great. I reviewed the book for Multiversity Comics, and we gave it PotW.

I always thought Gorram had to do with religious. I had a Muslim friend in high school who said Gorram, along with his brother, before Firefly was even a thing. It felt the same as Goddamn, but wasn’t blasphemous. I like it because it works if you’re religious OR an atheist like Captain Reynolds.

It’s important to keep the pressure up! Sure Gamestop will cease tracking and pressuring these particular statistics, and this looks like a PR win, but practices like the Circle of Life are at the core of how they do business. (Speaking as a former employee here). We need to make sure that every time they pull…

You know, I didn’t like this run much at all, but if that’s the inspiration they are taking, I’m down!

It’s a small thing, but I love the way the Shou-Lao chi rises up his wrist before making his fist glow. It’s never how I imagined that looking from the comic (I sort of figured his fist faded on like one of those sliding light switches) but this looks way cooler and makes more sense with the kung fu mythology.

Saga is so superlatively good, it’s kind of a problem for me and my girlfriend. When we talk about our favorite comics, or best comics of the year we now literally an include an asterisk saying *after Saga, because we all know that BKV is the best and Fiona Staples is doing some game changing work. It’s so…

I don’t entirely agree. I know that casuals can’t name Flash villains (though there is a pretty great TV show on the air right now), but just because you can’t name them now, doesn’t mean they aren’t great. Before 2008 how many people knew a damn thing about Iron Man? Before the movie, I had to beg even my comic fan…

I love this idea! I feel like ending the story with Cap getting restored to good or getting dead would be such a whimper. Let’s give him a split personality like Adam Warlock/Magus and send him off into space!

I actually think this little skit probably nails the dynamics these four characters would have together better than the Netflix series will.

I didn’t like Birdman; I thought it was curmudgeonly and mean spirited in a way that wasn’t to my personal taste. But c’mon man, Keaton makes a movie about a dude who’s sad he’s a washed out bird man to talk about how hard his life is ever since he played Batman and follows it up with doing what? Playing a f*cking…

I take your point, though I think if you let laypeople dictate which characters get movies, we’d have never gotten an Iron Man movie. That’s why I’m so disappointed they’re going with... the Vulture? One of the least exciting villains in Spider-Man’s deep bench.

That being said, there’s only one hero with a Rogue’s…
