Not even one new page of posts? Is that what happens when I spend the day in the OT instead?

In other news, Amazon put the Batman show on "sale" at 70% off. I got excited and rushed to buy it and the sale price is what they've been selling the set at since forever.

I've not been very active here either. But, I mean, I can always start talking something Legion related if you really want.
 
Man this just crossed in my mind, how fucking cool an Iron Man run in tone of Waid/Samnee Daredevil run? Both in storyline and art.

I tired with faux politic plot and stiff traced art in modern Iron Man comic.
 
So, I've been thinking about Lady Thor. If we were to assume that she isn't a natural blonde then wouldn't that mean that one of the "powers of Thor" is to have long blonde hair? And if that is the case then why didn't Beta Ray Bill have sweet golden lockes when he was it's wielder?

Maybe Korbinites just don't grow hair.

What about Hulk though.

Searching for "Blonde Hulk" only throws images of Hulk Hogan though
 
Also, if we assume whomever it was didn't go to the Moon wearing armor when she picked up Mjolnir, then that armor was one of the "powers of Thor". If you combine this transformation with the hair, then we're left with one inescapable conclusion,

Thor is a Magical Girl and Mjolnir is simply the transformation object.

I'm okay with this yo.
 
Been awhile since I posted. I realize I do most of my posting during work. My reading of Daredevil continues. I jumped back and read Guardian Devil and finished up Bendis's run as well as the "Devil in Cell Block D" story by Brubaker.

Other than a couple of good scenes at the end, I didn't think Guardian Devil was very good. The religious themes weren't very interesting and the baby/second coming plot device pulled the tone from a gritty street level story to a more high powered/high stakes one that just doesn't fit Daredevil. Overall, it felt like the writer's bad attempt at emulating "Born Again". The author might as well have been Mysterio. Maybe he was aware that he couldn't stack up.

Bendis's run on the other hand was very good. It never hit the same highs as Frank Miller's run did for me, but it was consistently good throughout. I really enjoyed Matt jumping off the deep end and becoming the Kingpin of Hell's Kitchen. Shows how terrifying an angry Daredevil can be. Bendis's writing is definitely different here than it is in his current work. Maybe it is the fact he's writing a solo character, but it generally feels like the quality of his writing has gone down over the years. During Daredevil, there were only a few times I noticed the conversation flow he overuses now and his humor was much more varied. I think it might have to do with Daredevil being a pretty serious character while the X-men are more lighthearted so he packs in too many jokes into X-men.

Haven't read much into Brubaker's run yet, but I do like that it is a direct continuation of Bendis's run. "The Devil in Cell-Block D" also makes me want to find all of the issues with Daredevil and The Punisher teaming up or interacting. I really like the dynamic between the two characters. Anyone know of any specific Daredevil/Punisher stories that are good?

Daredevil has become one of my favorite superheroes pretty quick. My only real exposure to the character was the movie and him showing up during Rucka's Punisher run. Those and those pages where Daredevil is tied up with the gun pointed at Frank gave me a different impression of the character than what I've experienced in his books. I thought he was going to be more lawful and in control of himself. Idealistic. Boy was I wrong. Matt is an angry man stuck in a tornado of shit hitting the fan. I can't wait to read more.

Best Daredevil is in the Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe one shot.

I remember skimming through that one shot years ago and just thinking how dumb it all was. I wasn't even reading comics at the time and didn't have too big of an understanding of the Marvel characters so it just felt like some edgelord fan fiction.

It is so dumb that it wraps around to being awesome.

I'm pretty sure lady Thor is Jane Foster.

Caught up with the run over the weekend and it's pretty much setup for it to be Jane Foster.

If only! It seems like all my comics art friends who are about 3-5 years older than me are getting published. One of them is doing Lumberjanes, a couple of guys are getting a book published by Archaia/Boom, this guy is doing a Bitch Planet fill in (at least, IDK how involved he will be with the book since I haven't talked to him about it), some other guys I know are established already. Another guy has successfully gone through like 3 kickstarters each bigger than the last.

Im not the type to get jelly of success, but Im getting a lil envious haha

Ill see most of these people in a month, so itll be good to catch up with them.
 
This Lady Thor run is the only Thor run I have ever read. Funnily enough, I'd never read a Spider-Man comic before Superior Spider-Man either. I guess I just like to jump on when a big character switch happens.

You should go back back and read the rest of Aarons run. It's incredible.
