    Yeah I dunno

    I'm wondering if
    the Athena who called the meeting was a Skrull, and the one who appeared to Amadeus at the end in a vision was the real deal.

    Because I really liked the character.

    Today's Might Avengers was omgwtfbbq awesome.
    It's like Bendis has been holding this "make the sentry cool" card to his chest for years and finally got to play it today..

    The void is going to rip everyone a new one.

    If it ends with Bob Renalds peeing himself again, Bendis fails.

    Eh, I wasn't that impressed with the issue until the end.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    I actually thought the entire issue of Mighty Avengers was well written and answered some questions I had about Sentry's role in SI. Let's face it, the only way to beat him is psychological attacks.

    I don't really believe Spider-Woman isn't a Skrull anymore, but why the hell are the Skrulls meeting in human form?

    And yeah, this issue did suck.

    It was explained in the New Avengers issue that to maintain thier level of deep cover they had to remain in those forms, otherwise they would become detectable again.

    It's still weird that Spider-Woman and Hank Pym are the only ones who showed up in street clothes. I mean, Elektra, Jarvis, and a bushel of SHIELD Agents congregating in a seemingly abandoned building is pretty suspicious in itself.

    Just because you can't shapeshift doesn't mean you can't buy a trenchcoat and a fake moustache.

    So, I just read through House of M for my first time (and it was pretty awful), and I noticed that on the fourth page of the second issue, there are a couple of figures in the audience of a talk show that definitely look like Skrulls. The main subject of the talk show? Wonder Man.

    Think this means anything?

    House of M was good. It's one of the comics that made me put down manga and start reading comics again.

    Forcing titles to be turned into the alt-universe... not so much? I should look at some of those trades though, I liked the concept a lot.

    Also, HoM brought us Layla Miller. Nothing that does that much good can possibly be bad.

    I thought the art in House of M was pretty bad, and the actual event barely had any closure for characters like Xavier, Layla, Hawkeye, or Quicksilver (let alone the characters like Spider-Man that have to carry the burden of remembering the whole ordeal). I'm sure it was all sorted out in the comics that followed, but as an actual series, it seemed like little more than an excuse to decimate the mutant population, revive Hawkeye, and give Wolverine his memory back; the story didn't hold together all that well.

    At least, that's my opinion (perhaps these flaws seemed more glaring since I don't really read Marvel that much). *Shrug*

    House of M had one of my favorite Hulk stories of all time.

    It also had one of the worst Iron Man stories of all time.

    That Hulk page that was posted in the panel thread was pretty sweet, and I liked the Captain America tie-in when I read it in the omnibus. I don't know, it seems to me that House of M was used for good things, but the series itself was a bit lackluster. All I'm sayin', ain't trying to start no thang.

    It didn't really need to be an event, I don't think, but I think the story held up for the most part, and comic events aren't ever really going to give full closure on things. They may set up big changes in the universe, or for specific characters, and their story continues on in other books.

    I did think the art was fantastic. But I guess Coipel's one of my favorite artists, so I dunno.

    Copiel was at the top of his game.

    Well, I suppose I should amend what I said. I thought the art was uneven; some of the page layouts were pretty hard to follow, there were definitely some instances where some proportions seemed kind of wonky. But a lot things, like the Iron Man design and the House of M costumes, were really nice.

    I thought it was pretty good, but not spectacular.


    Some of the tie-ins were rad.

    Since this has been ignored what with everyone leaping to HoM's defence, I went back and checked. They both have pointy ears and one is definitely green... but neither of them have the wierd skrully chin. So it probably doesn't mean anything.

    PS: House of M was good, you're silly.

    Since it was the second issue, perhaps the audience members... were mutants?

    Crazy, I know.

    but thats how every event works

    they are all used to set up multiple springboards to be followed up on.


    and seriously, Copiel is fucking awesome

    I enjoyed HoM, but I didn't like the tie-ins. I just wish it had more of an impact on the Marvel universe.

    And yes, Copiel is great.

    the Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Fantastic Four tie-ins were shit.

    I mean, I suppose that would make sense, but Quesada specifically said that there were Skrulls in House of M, so I don't know, just a thought.

    Jeez, guys.
