My most disappointing marvel event. It should have been good but you can just feel marvel editors showing up after planet hulk became a surprise hit and started messing with it

I actually read some of it, wasn't too bad. Skaar is a boss
But he wasn't in WWH :/
Loving this second Slott She Hulk run (2005 one), great first arc with a time travel trial arc. At the end of this arc Jen is sentenced to babysit someone from the time jail (because they were at capacity apparently) and she chooses to free this "Avenger"
Lol who the fuck is this >_<
Lol who the fuck is this >_<
you sure, swore he was in it. Or maybe I am getting the story where Skaar is being trained to kill his dad by Bruce.
edit: Skaar was in World war hulk, I knew I read that issue. Psychbat just messing with me :/. I still have the physical issue.

I already don't like this Eva Bell chick. She looks exactly like Rogue and time travel is a silly power. What are her limitations?
None. She's so OP she
tells Cyke to fuck off and removes herself from the timeline
Did you read 600?
Its not yet on MU
You know I didn't Messi, I live outside the comic timestream, forever trapped 6 months ago
See, Proff pays attention <3
I don't sleep very much. I'm in bed now but it's 6am. I'll likely get 2-3 hours sleep before work.
Do you sleep later a little bit more? 2-3 hours dont seem healthy
Great Brittain is -1 hour mainland europe

This makes me wonder how many women mainstream comics has chased out of the industry tbh Staples, Tarr, Lotay, Cloonan, Pichelli, Hans, Amanda Conner, Rios, Wu, Emily Caroll and Erica Henderson are pretty much the biggest names in mainstream comics who are women but they are grossly outnumbered by male counterparts. Not to mention they havent been around 20+ years like a lot of greats. Im not very familiar with Jillian Tamaki's work but shes worth a mention. Jillian Thompson made out a nice career for herself. Historically, women in comics have not really been given the space needed to succeed. At least in western comics. I need to familiarize myself more with female eastern comics artists
Man, this 2 issue arc of She Hulk (2005), issues 6-7, with Starfox being on trial for sexual assault after he has sex with a random woman was super interesting, as it goes into the nature of his power (and character really) and how it's actually very creepy when you think about it. Like the Avengers version of Purple Man I guess... its no wonder Marvel hasn't touched the character in years.
They even did a meta pepe le pew joke how we thought it was funny when we were kids, but pepe is actually just a glorified rapist forcing himself on the cat (Dave Chappelle dud the same joke, wonder if Slott stole it from him)
They don't even let him off either, as the trial goes on Jen thinks about the time she was with Eros (man...even his name) which she recalls as being her initiative but starts to wonder if it actually WAS her initiative and goes berserk on his ass, but Titan teleports him away from Earth before anything can be resolved.
Just one more of those things in comics that you look back on its origin and you go "what we're they thinking".
Edit: Netflix should do a She Hulk lawyer show

I kind of love Charest's work even though i tend to loathe his style (stiff figures, overly rendered drawings) in most other artists
re: women artists in comics, there's two somewhat noteworthy Silver Age artists in Ramona Fradon at DC and Marie Severin at Marvel. The underground folks were pretty male-centric afaik as well, but there's also stuff like Wimmen's Comix. Other than those, there haven't been as many big ones that I know of though I admit that's probably largely my own ignorance
As far as Japan goes, Rumiko Takahashi (InuYasha, Ranma 1/2, etc) is my bet for the biggest one...she's probably the biggest in the world too

No spoilers but just read JL #46...I like at the additional one or two lines of internal thoughts certain characters get that makes them seem just that much more interesting. Manapaul + Buccelato make a good art team for it.
heh glad you liked it

Surprised at how much I'm liking BKVs first Runaways run. I mean, I know BKV is awesome but the concept didn't really appeal to me at all so I'm really impressed. Might just barrel through both runs before I get back to DD.

Out of interest, what are everyone's #1 favorite event and least favorite event? Doesn't have to be DC/Marvel if that suits...
For me...I'm not sure.
My favorite might be the whole of Infinite Crisis, or 52 if that would count.
My least favorite...hmm I'm probably being reactionary to my own question but maybe Death of Superman. I suspect Axis or Original Sin may rival it, given the opinions I have heard

Switch #1 was good. Enjoyed it having known nothing about Witchblade previously.
The shortest size of pencil skirt for sale at her boutique of choice.
I'm sure the movie will be good, but I wouldn't trust reviewers at all right now.

It's been at least good for a while. I know some people hate it but I've always liked Revenge of the Sith despite its flaws. The Clone Wars and Rebels have been ranged from decent to excellent and there's been some great books and comics in the past few years. If you're only taking the films into account, I suppose some might come to that conclusion.
OK, now I need this book.
