Needed to be done.
accurate summary of entire series
Requirements for being in the justice league.
1) Have dead parents
2)….thats it
This was supposed to be an emotional scene but I was facepalming too much to care.
MY PARENTS ARE DEAAAAAD League
See, if it was Wally instead of Barry you’d just have him looking around while eating chips saying “This reminds me, I have to get my mom a mothers day card.”
Wait, isn’t Wally’s mother awful? I haven’t read the flash in forever and i know he’s not in the new 52, but I seem to recall that. And his dad was even worse, right? But I guess they weren’t dead.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE #9
KELLY SUE DECONNICK (W) • STEFANO CASELLI (A)
Cover BY STEVE MCNIVEN
Variant Cover by Joe Quesada & Bobby Rubio

ALL-NEW CREATIVE TEAM WITH ALL-NEW OUTSIZED ADVENTURES!
• Kelly Sue Deconnick (CAPTAIN MARVEL) and Stefano Caselli (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) team up to tackle the titanic tales YOU DEMANDED! And in continuity to boot?!
• Two scientists. Two giant egos. One wears a tank. One is a tank. Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are SCIENCE BROS!
• When a fellow bigbrain goes missing, wanna bet who can find him first? It’s Amazing Race, Avengers-style, as Iron Man and Hulk form their teams and embark on a global manhunt with the ultimate prize at stake…bragging rights!
The fact that they call them science bros in the solicit :D
But I like the fact that they are going to have a friendly rivalry.
So picking this up!
2 things: yay for science bros and OH MY GOD HULK’S FACE IS TERRIFYING
SCIENCE BROS in canon! Now they just need to make out.
I’m also excited about Steve and Carol interacting in this, because they are totally FWB.
hooray, hooray. they hinted at it when hulk came onto aa initially, but leave it to kelly sue to give them actual comics interactions that don’t have tony being a total dick to bruce. it only took 50 years!
Other Things I Hate :D
Since I’m in a complaining mood, let me tell you! I hate the way Mark Millar wrote Johnny Storm! I mean he just took the worst aspects of his character and exaggerated the hell out of them until nothing was left but the male equivalent of Paris Hilton (which he is actually called in the book!).
And he spouts lovely dialogue like this! Ugh, nice going, using characters like Johnny as mouthpieces for your gross childish opinions.
Don’t even get me started on the Masters of Doom story.
It is better if you pretend Johnny is GOB, though. Come on!
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #16.1, October 2012, cover by Sara Pichelli
his tiny sad little face. :(
Wat?
#who’s that guy about to do something kinky to captain america???
If I’m remembering this correctly, that’s Bucky who’s beating up fake!Cap from the 50s. fake!Cap is bugfuck. He also wants to blow up shit because the government is corrupt.
You’re right! This is also the storyline where Marvel got in trouble because they made fun of the Tea Party and everyone got all butthurt because Sam says he doesn’t feel comfortable as a black man among a separatist militia. Because why wouldn’t he, I wonder?????
nonnegative replied to your photo: But Sue, you don’t have elastic powers! why is…
Is this before or after we see Land’s porny take on Latveria?
Same page actually!
I love that you knew precisely which panel I meant. lol Greg Land.
Self-dismemberment as a superpower? Nothing darker or grittier than that.
what is this sweet perfection
It’s legion reject, arm-fall-off-boy! Seriously.
AAAAAAAAH!!!!!
This must be that Teen book that Marvel kept hinting at! *Fingers crossed favorites make it to this team*
Marvel, if this is a giant fake-out, I might expire.
:DDD
Wiccan and Kid!Loki? Gimme.
Geoff Johns has written a fair amount of crap, (including, or so I would argue, his current Justice League title) but he writes an excellent Lois Lane.
Lois Lane is a BAMF
Lois can get it.
Jan looks so fine, you almost don’t even notice Captain America and Wonder Man in the background.
Almost.
Simon is terrifying me, as usual, but I like Cap’s abs. >:)
