I really like this dude's design though.

 

[Avixph]

I really need to do a Pym Family Tree thread later. Maybe a Summers/Grey one as well.

This Vision cover isn't even the start of the full one:

There's a Vision dog?

 

[Squalor]

"It's HBO."

♫Wiener, wiener wiener, wiener, wiener wiener♫

 

[Makonero]

I'm curious as to how Darwin would evolve if he had a solo book on the verge of cancellation?

he'd turn into spider-man, duh

 

[Avixph]

Remember when the X-men witnessed Angel have sex with an under age girl and just shrugged it off?

What?

 

[Avixph]

Let's talk about the time Rogue made out with Gateway & turned black.

What?

 

[Messofanego]

Comic writers need to sort out their issues with women.

 

[Lagamorph]

There's been worse.



Comic books do some seriously weird shit sometimes but nothing puts me off more than weird pregnancy stuff. That Kitty Pride cover is like some hentai pregnancy fetish shit.

What is even the explanation behind this...?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Wait... Rogue isn't a light skin black women or a mixed ?

Nnnnnnnnnope.

 

[BKatastrophe]

There's a Vision dog?

Well ya see son, the neighbors had this dog, and then said dog was killed, so Vision disposed of said dog's corpse and made a synthezoid copy for his family

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Well...looks like I clicked on the RIGHT thread today...

 

[Squalor]

What is even the explanation behind this...?

Bad writing, bad relationships with women, and having a large demographic of people who will still buy it?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Comic writers need to sort out their issues with women.

I mean, those are fairly old storylines for the most part. A lot of that stuff doesn't happen anymore.

Although that Wolverine and the X-Men cover...

 

[FallingEdge]

LMAO

her face lolol

 

[Mindwipe]

Fiction is shit at pregnancy in general, because it won't let children age and grow up. TV shows don't last long enough and comics have sliding timelines. Genre fiction just lets writers use their very worst instincts to write themselves out of the hole and we end up with this nonsense.

But there's definitely a high point in the 90s of just... what? About pregnancy in particular. Things got weird. Weird.

 

[Jebusman]

Some of these comics look straight fucking trash but there is a part of me that feels compelled to read them.

Like I kind of want to hate read them.

 

[Machine]

Mantra was actually a pretty fun book just like a lot of the pre-Marvel Ultraverse titles. It sucks we may never see any of those characters again.

For a really messed up comic involving a pregnancy, look no further than this gem:

They graphically depict the birth and aftermath in the comic. I was a bit surprised the first time I read that issue.

 

[Mechanized]

Is she like 8 foot tall? What is her spine doing? So many questions.

 

[Slayven]

Remember when Her got rejected by Adam Warlock and decided to infect a bunch of male heroes with her spawn and ham them fight it out?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I don't think I want to read this thread anymore.

 

[number47]

probably somehow add deadpool.

 

[Zekes!]

I should just drop out of university and become a comic book writer. You obviously don't need any qualifications

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

How thick skinned are you and are you prepared to be ridiculed by places like The Outhouse and Twitter?

 

[Makonero]

almost all of these were written 20-30 years ago. Modern day comic writers are leagues better. It's a very competitive space, creatively.

 

[Frozenprince]

So this is your "comics have a weird thing about impregnating women" thread huh?

Yeah shit's bizarre AF, comics writers have issues.

Chris Claremont and Mark Millar could put some therapist's kids through college

I need someone to tell me about the fact that there apparently is some sort of Dog-Vision.

Also, nice to see Marvel Acknowledge Victor Mancha.

i know what you mean but i literally just finished setting fire to my Axis trade and Civil War II floppies

 

[Luigi87]

*reads up on that Kitty Pryde cover*

... huh...

Does a Ultron Dog count?

 

[sooperkool]

Mantis and Mantra are unrelated. Mantis predates Mantra by about 20 years.

 

[Frozenprince]

Spider-woman's pregnancy happened like, a year ago and was still weird as shit. She had the baby in a skrull hospital in the middle of a black hole surrounded by aliens.

It's weird.

Chris Claremont and Mark Millar could put some therapist's kids through college

I don't even wanna know what weird perversions go through Mark Millar's head.

I read Ultimatum, that's enough.

Dr.Doom knows what Sue Richards neither regions look like, still think Valerie's birth is weirder

Ultimate Red Skull damaged me in ways I probably will never understand

Uh, yeah...about him...

 

[Frozenprince]

Valeria lived an entire life as an adult before she turned herself back into a fetus to be reborn.

Shit's weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird

have they revealed the father yet? I only ever read spider women when there's a silk gwen crossover.

 

[Frozenprince]

No idea, I don't read spider books anymore really, picked the last one up because my boy got to come back for a little bit

Spoiler

#TeamBen

but I'm pretty sure it'll be something stupid for the sake of plot contrivance "OH IT'S ACTUALLY VON DOOMS KID OH NO WHAT A WACKY MIXUP" or some other stupid shit.

 

[echoshifting]

She went to a sperm bank

So what I'm saying is the door is wiiiiide open

Everything about Miracleman's pregnancy arc was terrific. Every single bit. And what came after it too.

But yerp, the birth scene was surprising.

 

[Frozenprince]

It's gonna be something profoundly stupid.

It could go wrong or it could horribly wrong

Already did:

Well ya see son, the neighbors had this dog, and then said dog was killed, so Vision disposed of said dog's corpse and made a synthezoid copy for his family

more like different era different shit

marvel doesnt remember century

 

[Frozenprince]

Yeah, pro-tip for people who want to get into comics.

95% of cape comics are gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarbage. Hot, steaming, you'd need like 30 barges to haul it all garbage.

Look at what is selling the most and is recommended among enthusiasts and for new readers. But, for the most part, avoid sub-books and most solo's like the plague.

 

[Toa TAK]

I read Ultimatum, that's enough.

Ultimatum was hardcore, tho

Ultimate Red Skull damaged me in ways I probably will never understand

He was his SON.

I would kill to see the MCU do that.

 

[Veedot]

more like different era different shit



marvel doesnt remember century

I only remember him from that really bad Ironman cartoon, He was the only one in the main cast that I had never heard of.
