Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #11 best issue of the series yet, Miles vs the Scorpion.

Action Comics #10 was pretty interesting, though for some reason Clark is still wearing the T-Shirt costume sometimes. A very interesting issue though.

    Dark Avengers really just looks like Thunderbolts #175, just with a new cast of recruits. Which is pretty great, really.

    The issue didn't impress me or make me curious to see what happens next. Plus the art was pretty "Bleh."

    My MotW is this tweet I got from Kelly Sue Deconnick.
    DM me a mailing address? I need to send you a thank you.
    My reply.
    That's not necessary. Besides, I'm moving up to Salem next month and I'm trying to get rid of almost every non-necessity as it is

    Thank you though. I appreciate the thought

    For being a ginormous Captain Marvel fanboy. I've been hyping the shit out of the book to my small circle of acquaintances, but what caught her attention is that I took the Previews Short Order Form and prefilled forms for July and August with all of the books Carol will be featured in (CM #1 and Avenging Spider-Man #9 in July, and CM #2-3, AvSM #10 in August) as well as other information in my tumblr posts about preordering—especially that Diamond preorders are due on the 18th of each month. She tweeted this to me after I atreplied to her that I will continue doing this each month for the foreseeable future as soon as Diamond publishes their codes.

    Here's my post for August preorders.

    Someone else made her a "Carol Corps" preorder form for July that is really swanky (PDF), and that's cool. But as far as this goes, it's like the saying, "If it's dumb but it works, it's not dumb." No one else did one for August (yet).

    So I was reading about Storm/Black Panther on Wikipedia and I got an interesting idea.

    What if when they had a short relationship as teens, Ororo got pregnant and put the child up for adoption, and he got adopted by a family in America? He could be around 15-16, I think. I think a storyline where a kid in New York finds out he's actually the prince of Wakanda could be really cool. In a few years, you could have him become the new Black Panther.

    Seems kind of out of character for Storm or BP to not raise the kid themselves, consequences be damned. I'm not sure it would be a "cool" idea, but I could see Marvel doing that story at some point.

    Well my thought was that Ororo was around 15-16 at the time, she probably would have thought she and T'Challa weren't ready to raise a child themselves, and she kept it from him because she felt it would be better if he didn't know.

    BP and Storm's relationship is alright now, but was terrible when it started

    and them having a long-lost illegitimate son is not really going to help that

    It's like Bronson Missouri here!

    I could see Storm having a kid now, but if anything she would probably have some kid from all the times she was brainwashed to be a villain's wife. Storm would actually be a good mom, I kind of want to see that now.

    I meant that it doesn't seem that Wakanda has suffered any of the adverse effects of T'Challa rendering all processed vibranium inert.

    I agree. I like that the far and away most advanced nation on Earth is landlocked in central Africa. My question is that as I understood the end of Doomwar, Marvel said "Not anymore," and had T'Challa pull a "No more Vibranium" move that undermined their entire economy, civilization, and threatened its continued existence.

    You can post up to three pages from a comic right? Because Lois's speech from the end of Action Comics was so good and it is a crime it wasn't posted.

    I am in love with Morrison's Clark Kent. It's everything I'd like him to be.

    Ecpecially after reading Secret Origin and seeing just how terrible modern twerpy Clark is.

    Avengers Academy is surprisingly good.

    I really like how they've written X-23. Some writers have a tendency to forget that even though she's Wolverine's clone, she's been trained to be very logical and analytical. Although I'm not sure about the whole not understanding emotions thing. She was trained in infiltration and had to pretend to be a normal girl in many, if not most, of her missions. She should have a pretty good understanding of how to emulate and manipulate emotions and feelings.
    Although I don't understand how they thought they could hold Shaw without immobilizing him. Even without the books, couldn't he have just clapped his hands a bunch of times and get the kinetic energy that way?
