    Yeah I wasn't feeling it for the first arc but I actually really dig it now that Soule and Fawkes have said they are treating it like a Saturday Morning Cartoon that stars a bunch of murderers

    Anyone been reading Black Vortex? I've been skipping it but I just picked up post-BV Nova and had a question:
    so Sam found Rich's helmet during the event. Was there any huge thing about that or was it just oh look a helmet
    He looks into the Black Vortex to learn what he would become if he succombed to the power of it and sees a vision of Rich Rider dying in the Cancerverse and becoming a desiccated corpse floating in space that dissolves away until only his helmet is left. He takes it as a sign that the Vortex is telling him not to become like Rider.

    OH MAN MS. MARVEL IS FUCKING AWESOME THIS WEEK AND TOTALLY TIES HER INTO INHUMAN AND AAAAHHHH
    Her new Inhuman beau, predictably, turns out to be a shitbag and ends up knocking her out and taking her to a compound.

    Turns out he works for Lineage, the current big bad in Inhuman who is attempting a coup of New Attilan. presumably his gathering of NuHumans ties into it, especially since Kamala is in the upcoming Inhuman Annual

    Ugh.

    Note that the Vortex is a manipulative douche, and it never really tells the whole truth.
    He rejects the vision from the Vortex, of course.

    sadly, he'll never break the cycle so long as the possibility that someone at Marvel decides "hey, let's make him a badguy again."

    I'm definitely excited to see what this means, but the last page has me somewhat concerned.
    Specifically that he's looking somehat more menacing than normal, when his new role in theory should be friendlier than his old one. That may just be my interpretation though.

    I was fucking fascinated by this thing

    They don't draw any real attention to it which made me think it must be a real thing that actually exists, but I'd never heard of it before

    They're totally a real thing.

    I worked with a blind student while I was a librarian, an she had one (although it was not nearly as sleek looking as Murdock's).

    Yeah that strikes me as particularly ephemeral

    Like its neat but another author could ignore it literally without explanation if they chose
    at least with kid loki another author would have had to come up with an explanation

    With this it could just vanish

    And to be clear its still a neat story

    Just frustrated with peoples unwillingness to move forward sometimes

    He looks less menacing to me and more punk rock

    Like he's still wearing his Agent of Asgard duds, he's just dirtier and less put together

    Which I think hints at him being a little less smarmy master planner sweet talker and more fly by the seat of his pants actionary

    Not all stories are happy, and not all stories are true.
    He even starts off Agent of Asguard talking about how magic is a story you tell to the universe and make it believe it.

    It's the crooked toothy grin that seems more cruel/mocking than friendly, when combined with the eyes, and the clenched fists as he walks into his friend's apartment.

    Well he did just get there.

    Like I'd imagine being born and knowing 3 things about yourself and also that the world is ending and also that there's an evil version of What Was Once You out there would make you pretty aggressive.

    Ewing has been absolutely stellar so far and really understands Loki, I doubt he ends up making him an asshole.

    From what I can find she's the goddess of Runes and Poetry, not exactly the same thing, but there's definitely some overlap.

    Also I can only find record of one appearance, offering Odin mead in an issue in 1984? That's pretty dang minor.

    Oh, it's fantastic, but I think he was asking about the release schedule, which is nearly Hawkeye-like.
