Dr. Strange breaks the universe fighting "The Creators", who turn into stars and replace our stars in order to harness the sun's power, but Dr. Strange figures that out and tries to stop them, and fails, so the Creators all become stars at once and it turns all our stars into people.
Then he wonders why he lost and shoves his fist in his chest and rips out a demon.
Then the Earth reforms and he flies down (they were hanging out on an asteroid) and everyone has turned into half-man/half-animal beings. And he turns himself, Clea and Wong until Lion people to hide and gets to his house, only to find this new world has a Dr. Strange who is a wild boar and calls himself "Dr. Stranger Yet".
But - Jim Starlin, you beautiful bastard - has written one of the best passages since Apocolypse's "Crash upon me and be broken" lines.
When Strange returns to Earth, this is in the narration boxes.
"Witness the face of a world gone mad! Witness a people and land lacking both perspective and reason. Witness the laws of nature repealed, the crossbreeding of the inorganic with the organic and the death of sanity. Witness the world that Stephen made."
Basically if Darren Aronofsky was directing Dr. Strange, this would be the story he would adapt.
thankfully this is no longer relevant

oh wait that never happened
is not a great costume but it is better than Angela's
like, Wonder Woman has the same exact problem as Angela does which is why people love it when she wears stuff like this:
Because that is what she should always be wearing
I mean, don't they want all the money in the world, ever?
Like, yeah, sure her character has turned out to be pretty okay.
But there is really nothing implicit to that characterization that requires them to use this really awful design laden with really awful baggage though. They could have come up with almost literally anyone to play the role she is playing, and it would have the bonus of not reminding me that Spawn existed.
which does make a difference, vis a vis male gaze and so on
Conner always defended her art with "I like drawing sexy women, we made sure that Karen was a positive and likeable character, what's the big deal"
whether that's legit is up for debate but personally I don't have a problem as she's not objectifying the character, she's trying to empower her and also include a sexy element the creator feels is fun.
they've given updates on existing projects, but they haven't announced a single new comic, show, movie or video game
They're so empowered they are above clothes
This is also the time, every year, every Comic Con, that I remember Marvel NEVER releases the video clips online after and are super efficient at making sure it never leaks.
Dammit.
they might as well use her since gaiman gave them the rights and they're using her really well aside from the costume

I personally don't buy this at all
It's like saying it's impossible for a female artist to also objectify women
If a man drew the same art she did and gave the same reasoning he would get endless shit for it
That's the defence she gave, and I personally have no beef with it but I don't really feel like arguing to defend it, know what I mean?
Joe Johnston is directing episode 4.
Fucking amazing.

but man if I don't love Pulp Doc Fate to death
I mean, what does using her instead of an original character accomplish?
That she is already, in some form, established?
Her prior establishment is all garbage!
Attitude and anatomy, basically. Good cheesecake art has a fun, winking attitude and well-portrayed anatomy, while bad cheesecake art gives off a voyeuristic, leering attitude and often breaks anatomy in order to make the picture as "sexy" as possible. It's like the difference between a burlesque show and staring at women walking down the street.
You do know that the main difference between the two outfits pictured is that she changed tops right?
Marvel has nothing to lose by using her and maybe brought in some fans from Spawn
it was a win-win using her
Until that day I'd settle for guest appearances in Ms Marvel
I think she and Kamala would have an excellent odd couple vibe
I mean, I picked up her appearances in gotg and am now reading tenth realm because I was curious about how they would use her
I probably wouldn't have done that for a new character, and I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that

Plus, she has a gladiator-style arm armor thing with a spaulder, armored boots, a greek armored skirt thing and is wielding actual weaponry
but no you're right she just changed tops
I mean, anecdotally speaking, I went totally the opposite way.
Her stuff in GotG wasn't bad, and she had a few good lines, but the entire time I was thinking "Man this sure is dumb I hope they get back to not this sometime soon."
yes yes give me this book
also give me a carol danvers and izzy kane buddy cop book

I like that guy.
but one is sexy for the sake of being sexy
the other fits the character, is well-designed and is still sexy but not in an unnecessary way
The other shows Diana in armour with a hoplite skirt and so on
Now, you could say "well hey man both have her with bare legs, whats all that about" and yeah that's fair
However the Chiang piece uses those bare legs to evoke the idea of a ancient hoplite. Is the fact that people in the ancient world used to wearing revealing clothes an acceptable reason to put it in a comic? Not inherently, but there is a cultural image of the hoplite in a skirt like that, equipped with a shield like that, and even a sword (and spear), it's a look which is very much designed to bring out that classic Grecian soldier style, which is a very good look for Diana.
The bare skin is not there to titillate it's there to complete the design of Diana as a warrior originating from a Grecian myth aesthetic. She's undeniably an attractive woman but her attractiveness isn't important to her design in Chiang's work. Bruce Timm, who is a quality artist, has deliberately portrayed Diana there as attractive, her costume and the amount is covered has a sexual intention.
and earlier it was just looping videos
BJ Britt is about to be promoted, I think, based on what I'm reading about the TV panel
Googling that gives me a mermaid in the movie H2O.
So, cross-over.
Nick Blood as Lance Hunter
Taskmaster????
holy
yeess
He was great on Dollhouse
Which would actually be really cool because that is a character I that I bet is going through some serious things right now.
