I've been excited about Two-Gun Kid showing up, because although not many people know Matt's not just a gunslinging honorary Avenger, he's also a Harvard-educated lawyer, I'm betting Slott does.

I totally thought Starfox was the Avenger-in-stasis, tho, & have had to delay my Starfox-joy for 2 months, which is surprisingly hard!
GIVE SLOTT A SPIDER-MAN TITLE PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
DAMN IT PLEASE!

I think I'm just saying Slott should write all the Marvel books from the Shooter era of my childhood. Slott's Beyonder Follies! Slott's Iron Man in Red And Silver Armor! Slott's Cloud And Andromeda -- Remember Them? Guest-Starring Firebird.

But yeah, Slott's Spidey/Torch is well worth getting, and I don't think Huk had read much Spidey (right?), so its appeal doesn't rely on memories of those eras nearly as much as I thought it did.
It's like if you subtract Geoff Johns from Kurt Busiek, you have Dan Slott. Or something.

Correct, however, I have seen every single episode of the 60s Spider-Man cartoon several times (because we didn't have cable TV until I was about 8). And, the Spider-Man therein correllates well enough to the Spidey/Torchy version (especially in the first two issues) that I was hooked. PARRRRR-KER!

There are TWO FULL ISSUES of She-Hulk available online. One's @ MileHighComics.com, and one's @ Marvel.com - I think Marvel.com is hosting #1 of the 2003/4 series.

Sensational was a disappointing reread, yeah. The comedy's about as subtle as Mad magazine, and I'm not saying subtlety is the essence or requisite of comedy, but ... ungh.

Yah, seeing that stuff in the back of the book was what tipped my hand toward not buying the thing after all.

Jumping next to Dan Slott's ("The happiest man in comics" according to Quesada) titles - She-Hulk and The Thing, the writer said that issue #8 will be the Civil War crossover in She-Hulk, with a status quo change, and will add Paul Smith as the series regular artist.

Should I continue this thread to talk about the Tas Mas vehicle. Or go to MCU.Anyway, quite deeply fun. I do like a bit of Tas Mas. She's awfully good. & I'm sue she loves being called Tas Mas . Well anyway, glad this is another good tv show from Marvel. Was i seeing a LatinX element in the credits. Interesting if so.
― Stevolende, Friday, 19 August 2022 09:34 (one year ago) link
THat is to say, looking at end credits I was thinking there was LatinX presence in the crew etc, & pretty female.Which is good. Hoping that inclusivity and actual diversity is rising. I was watching a lot of the Film Fatales webinars a couple of years ago which seemed to indicate it was. not sure how clear a lens that would be though. May be its own gaze or something.
Now seeing that Head Writer is Asian American. which is cool in itself.

Anyone been reading the current (Rainbow Rowell) series? I preordered the Vol. 1 trade on spec… been itching to read something new, and it sounded potentially good.
― Panda bear, my gentle friend (morrisp), Sunday, 21 August 2022 01:03 (one year ago) link
^Vol. 1 was good – cute and offbeat – and Vol. 2 (which just came out) is even better… kind of next-level, actually, in a few respects. Highly recommended!

I just took a look at the previews for Vol. 1 on Amazon, it does look promising.
