    Netflix is doing 2 shows a year, next year is Daredevil and Luke Cage

    Haha Darth Vader
    Aphra decides to capture Luke to get back in good graces with Vader, so she paints Triple-Zero gold and Luke thought he was Threepio, then gets tazed at close contact.

    Also Vader kicked the shit out of everyone sent after him, like damn.

    Filler artist for Grayson this week which I wasn't keen on, but the story continues to be my favorite monthly one. Spies gonna spy.

    The Wonder Woman weekly was also really good. I love lil' Diana and her rebellious nature.

    Jesus god did Remender end his final Marvel story on the most depressing note in the goddamn world
    Nomad and Ellie, Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter's daughter from the Hydra controlled Battleworld Realm manage to make it to the reality hopping Infinite Elevator he arrived on after being nearly killed by Zola's Avengers.

    As Ellie is bleeding out in Ian's arms he says they failed (The whole theme of the issue was Ian thinking that the never ending battle against evil is pointless because they never have permanent solutions to the villains or warmongers but is aware that killing them is a big line to cross) but she says "We tried."

    Iron Strucker blasts the elevator just as the doors are about to close and the whole thing explodes, with him saying it must have been another fuel source inside that ignited.

    Then in the massive pile of rubble the Avengers find no trace of them.

    "There's nothing left. It's like they never existed."

    With the final panel straight up saying in all caps FUTILITY.

    I am pretty glad he's taking a break from Marvel stuff at this point, the vast majority of his work had just been oppressively grim and depressing over the past couple years.

    Yeah, Uncanny X-Force was fantastic, and his Cap run is great, but he puts so much of that style into other books and it's just horrible. (Venom being just plain unpleasant to read, IMO.)

    It is definitely where he trends to most easily but his Marvel work had been pretty fun and goofy at times and the dude was well known for that as well as the dark shit for a while

    Remember, he's the man who did Franken-Castle

    But lately the grim stuff became really overpowering

    To counteract the ridiculous grimdark of Hail Hydra, here is the ending to Groot #6 which I love so god damn much it makes me want to explode
    After a fun trip to Earth with Rocket, including fighting supervillians, watching Star Wars in Carol's apartment and listening to Star-Lord's favorite band, Groot finds himself partying with the X-Men. After mercifully interrupting a super awkward attempt by Young Scott to flirt with Young Jean Groot communicates with her telepathically and reveals the real reason he asked Rocket to head to Earth: years ago, when he still lived on Planet X, his people were cruel and merciless and would abduct peaceful aliens from other worlds and conduct science experiments on them. Groot hated it, but was much smaller than the other treedudes and didn't want to get stomped. But one night he found a little Earth girl in a stasis pod awaiting experimenation and he couldn't take it anymore and breaks her out after introducing himself. Before he teleports her back to Earth, he sprouts a very special flower and gives it to her to remember him by. He hopes Jean can find her and tell Groot where she is.

    Hey so Jessica Jones is great so far (I'm only up through episode 3)

    But I have a question
    Has Patsy Walker always been a radio personality and friend of Jess, or did they mix her with another character or what?
    They just overhauled her character
    She was an old romance comics model character who they revamped into a superhero

    So making her a former child star/talk show host isn't that weird

    Well they did mix her with another character in the sense that Jessica's best friend/confidant in ALIAS was Carol Danvers.

    Yeah but she's nothing like Carol so it's less mixing her with another character and more having her fill a different niche

    Also Danny can be Asian and still an outsider in K'un-lun, it's a fucking magical secret city. You wouldn't even need him to have grown up in western culture although that would be the easiest way to do it.

    Also there's the whole keeping her twin brother in an implied abusive dependent incestuous relationship for years and years.

    Implied is accurate because the incestuous part is never overtly confirmed.

    i mean purely from an action hero standpoint.

    oddly enough the Netflix TV shows havent been as action heavy as i wouldve thought so far.

    sure DD is brutal and violent, but other than the scene where
    he fights nabu
    the action scene were all pretty short and quick.
