He wasn’t paralyzed if I remember... he had lost a arm from the elbow down and a leg from the knee down at one point near the end of Mighty Avengers, then became the warden of The Raft during Thunderbolts but made the choice to forego cybernetics so he used a wheelchair to get around most of the time. Later he started…

True, but the fact that they were willing to make fun of Hollywood Democrats stood out more at the the time (and even now too). Given the current political climate of Marvel the past decade or so, I am assuming that this book will not be ripping on both parties though and be pretty left-wing. Not saying if that is…

I think you are referring to when Speedball of the New Warriors became Penance after Civil War and during Dark Reign.

I assume that Ewing will be going for this type of feel in the book... just flipped to rip on Republicans instead of Democrats.

I think around this time Parker will be dealing with the big “Dead No More/The Clone Conspiracy” (I think they renamed it recently to the second one) upcoming storyline in his book and maybe that takes him off the table for a lot of the other stuff... though usually that does not stop characters from popping up in…

Judging from some release info a couple of months down the road, U.S. Agent will be coming back in the pages of Sam Wilson: Captain America... and judging from the cover and the info it looks like if it is Walker in the costume they are throwing away all the character development he has gone through over the years to…

Big YES to that... it was cool seeing Rider go from being a good guy who did not always have his crap together (but was not a jerk about it) step up to the big leagues and become the go-to hero of the cosmos.

I think ultimately that is what just doesn’t work in the whole “epic superhero vs superhero” conflict... there is no way to make a balanced argument without making either one or both sides look like idiot assholes. Where heroes who have fought side by side through world ending situations through the years would not…

Yeah I have been a long time X-Men reader until Bendis... I have stayed away from the X-books ever since. And I am a big fan of Jeff Lemire but I can’t bring myself to hope that he can fix the franchise.

I don’t think they have fully revealed what happened yet... just ominous mentions that he did something... ominous (dun dun DUUUN). It feels like they have not figured out if they want to put the final nail in the “Cyclops is a dick say goodbye to him” coffin or want to frame it as a cover-up and maybe find a way to…

Well it was a sneak attack from behind so I could see it taking him down. If he had tried attacking him head on then Hellfire would have been screwed.

As a long time Green Arrow fan, this book was fantastic. Really the only Green Arrow run that I fully enjoyed in the New 52 was Jeff Lemire’s arc. Shocking for me was Ann Nocenti’s time on the book was not very good... which was weird since her time on Daredevil was classic. Benjamin Percy was ok with his New 52…

He is supposed to be around his very early 30's in the books now due to the new 52... the coloring in the book kind of made his hair color so faded it appears old man white.

I had a number of subscriptions growing up as a teenager due to the nearest comic book shop being 40 miles away (this was before I had a driver’s license) and the local supermarket only carrying Batman, Superman, X-Men, & Spider-Man books (this was the early and mid 90's when you could actually buy a comic book at a…

I’m not black or Latino (white guy... *que ominous music*), but one thing that I have found interesting is how when it comes to Miles Morales, his Hispanic heritage is kind of... ignored. From what I have heard that is not the case in his book, but in the media... he is just the black Spider-Man. Some articles I read…

Just checked out his Tumblr (Bendis has a Tumblr. What the shit?) and yeah he mentions that kind of in a snarky way along with the answer of ‘army surplus store’ when someone asks where War Machine picked up that kind of artillery. Bendis has always been a hit or miss writer for me when it comes to treatment of…

The more I think about it... the more I could see them actually keeping Shiro/Sven alive for the majority of the season. With 11 episodes and more than likely more than one season of this planned, they could really build up more character depth with him this time, making his death a bit more significant for the final…

Though I suppose if you are knowingly going to participate in a ambush against Thanos, a missile that can crack a mountain would make the “stuff we should bring to the fight” list. But it would work better if they mentioned that instead of making She-Hulk look like she can’t take a hit she should be able to walk away…

Yeah I have not kept up much with She-Hulk, but I was under the impression that something like a missile would not take her down. I know she is not as strong and tough as The Hulk, but still pretty damn tough. I guess Rhodes was carrying some holy-shit major explosives packed into such a small missile.

With Namor, it is all about getting what is supposed to be “off-limits”. He sees Sue Storm’s wedding ring and just thinks “Cool... challenge accepted.”
