Did people in the 60s not understand the awful repercussions of nuclear bombs in the 60s? I've seen two casual uses of nuclear weapons in densely populated urban areas The Fantastic Four already. One usage was by the city itself and another was by The Fantastic Four. This is like Spider-Man originally making his webs with asbestos.

Depends on the type of event, really.
I always liked how TV Tropes did it. You've got:
Crisis Crossovers - Your line-wide events like, say, Civil War. None of the post-Avengers Disassembled (which was the start of Marvel's annual summer crossovers, and is ELEVEN YEARS OLD OMG!) are that good, certainly not without context at least. The best are probably 2013's Infinity (the tie-ins are muck apart from Avengers and New Avengers which are required) and the current Secret Wars, both of which are part of Jon Hickman's wider Avengers saga. Most of that is on MU and well worth reading IMO.
Red Skies Crossovers/Cross Throughs - An event happens where all the books are affected but don't interact. Named for the skies turning red in the build up to the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. The best example of this, at least the first one that comes to mind, is not a comic. Big Finish did a series of stories for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who called The Destiny of the Doctor, where Eleven sent messages back in time to each of his past selves, each one preparing for a final battle.
Massive Multiplayer Crossover - Any inter-company or multi-franchise crossover. IDW and Dynamite do TONS of these. Recent examples are the likes of X-Files: Conspiracy (where the Lone Gunmen met the Ghostbusters, Transformers, the Crow and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Dynamite's Swords of Sorrow featuring a whole bunch of heroines like Red Sonja, Vampirella, Jennifer Blood and Irene Adler from The Shadow. I really dug both of IDW's Infestation crossovers, and their Star Trek TNG/Doctor Who story, though that one's gone out of print because IDW have lost the Doctor Who license.
Bat Family Crossover - Only titles within one group (like say, Batman or X-Men books) are affected. Named for the likes of Knightfall and No Man's Land.
It would have been a different movie yeah.
I think the story of her depression would have been a lot better without the cute little head people is all. They were the least interesting aspects of the whole thing.
I want Inside Out With a Vengeance.
Is it about the movie?
It's a new story set between the movies so yeah kinda.
A tiny thing from a big (nice) post, but hey, finally an opinion on Infestation on here! I've asked at least once or twice, but I don't believe I got any answers, so I haven't grabbed it yet. But I've been more and more curious as I've added to my IDW collection. So they're worth reading?
I was hoping I could just read the comic and be ready for the new movie. Ah well.

Shhhh.
I think there are GN adaptions of the films. There's definitely one for Attack of The Clones at least, since I own it.
Pretty sure there's an event or something coming up that is set before the new movie. Not really sure how accessible the comics are for people who've never seen Star Wars.

There's a novel coming called "Aftermath" that takes place after ROTJ, but I haven't heard of anything comic-wise yet.
I have it pre-ordered along with One Punch Man, looking forward to it.
Hmm that was what the comic book guy at my store said, maybe i misheard.
you could watch the old movies that you own and be ready for the movie. Just watch Episodes 4,5,6.
Are you kidding. It wasn't until late 70's and still further in the 80's some people finally got clued into what radiation meant.
Even when chernobyl happened in 86's many still had no idea. The government told them they were safe and sound, even when a huge radioactive cloud was floating over parts of Europe.
People really did believe in dumb shit like duck and cover for the longest time because the government really had no good way to really protect people from being absolutely horrified about what a nuke could really do.
I was told to start at 1 not 4

One Punch Man is brilliant!
I saw you posting in the OT. You guys seem to be having fun with the series.

What is this one about?
One Punch Man has been out for a while in the US in digital format. I have the first 7 books already.
Start at 4 and pretend 1-3 don't exist.

LTTP: Messi Not Having Watched Star Wars Yet Somehow
Just start at A New Hope and if you really hate yourself go back and watch 1,2 and 3.
Yeah I really like it, Murata is drawing the shit out of it.
I'm not sure I'm ready to process that

How would you guys rate My Hero Academia and One-Punch Man on the Shonen Jump scale?

You guys saw the One Punch Man Nendoroid, right?

Watch them in release order, it'll probably be the best experience
I usually give the same advice for video games too, like MGS
Oh god, I did not. I'm not one for most Nendoroids but that... that is tempting.
I'm a bit out of touch with current Jump but excluding One Piece i think those are easily the best that they have running along with Black Clover.
Yeah it looks great can't wait to see his serious face.

My Hero Academia is a Manga take on superheroes. Also protagonist is awesome as is everybody.
Oh my god.
I've never seen any if them
sorryThis Fairest Vol 2 has been awesome and the art is devine. I love Rapunzel.

I liked them enough to buy the hardcovers. They're nothing serious, but they're great fun, especially if you enjoy all the licenses. My favourite story of the whole lot is the Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron story in Infestation 2, which digs into Abraxis Wren who is an Inquisitor (kind of like a private detective).
My favourite of all IDW's crossovers is probably Mars Attacks IDW, which has the hilarious Mars Attacks the Transformers, which is based on a parody of the old G1 cartoon and is, simply, amazing.
There's a comic called Shattered Empire taking place after Return of the Jedi coming out as part of the Journey to The Force Awakens merch/EU event, by Rucka and Noto:
I don't want him to watch it at this stage. It would ruin all the fun.

I'm actually not all familiar with the current SJ either; anything from the past as a comparison would do.

I hope that was the intended length and that it isn't a cancellation.

Fix'd. It's the one great thing about Frank.
For some reason i think i once had that floppy. Seem to recall it >__>
Hmm outside of them being fairly common battle type shonen I don't think there's much to compare them to in regards to older titles. My Hero is very much a love letter to Superhero comics and One Punch Man is a mix of comedy and action drawn to a ridiculously fine detail. If you've read Eyeshield 21 before it's the artist for that drawing One Punch Man and by god is he drawing it.
This is what my comic guy was telling me about when I was half listening to him. Noto and Rucka guarantee me picking it up.

I was hoping for a "not as good as HxH Chimera Ants arc, but better than Naruto pre-timeskip".
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it. I don't think my shelves can handle a manga series atm, I'll have to go digital.

There's a weird habit in old marvel comics where every character who wasn't spider-man has their own comic book series running in-universe.
I haven't really read enough of either of them yet to make that kind of distinction, sorry. I'm weird that way I can quite happily go digital with comics but given the choice I'll never give up printed manga.
Thanks Emma is my favourite female Marvel character, she's awesome.

Something else I completely forgot; Bruce Banner used to be able to turn into the Hulk by shooting himself with concentrated gamma rays
