    I've read Marvel Boy, I just don't cup Morrison's balls, stroke his shaft, open wide, and drink his man gravy. I thought it was about the same as SKULL KILL KREW.
    I didn't think it was amazing or anything

    you didn't get what I was saying at all

    I was just wondering why you refered to him as "Emo Captain Marvel Junior"

    since he's not like that at all

    That whole Nick Fury was right thing was a clever line that didn't need to take two goddamn pages to set up. See, this is why people don't like Bendis. And by people I mean me.

    I do like some of the things he's done, I just don't like the dialogue he writes.
    SI:Thor was good though.

    See, I have to disagree with you there (but of course, it's just a taste thing): I like his dialog for much the same reason I like Whedon's. They both have a very enjoyable (albeit stylized) sense of pacing that works for this sort of storytelling.

    I liked that scene. Especially when Jarvis kept interrupting her.

    That's good old-fashioned supervillain arrogance there.

    So, the preview for the next Herc:
    I love basically everything about the Skrull deities. Period. Of course, I feel like Demogorge is going to eat at least one of them, so I wonder how they resolve this. The deities have to survive to some degree (otherwise this would be the main Secret Invasion arc, not a sideline) but on the other hand, the god squad can't entirely lose. I'm curious to see how they finish it.

    I went back and re-read, and Brand saying "Woof" after her little killing spree was pretty epic, making me think back to the stuff she said about her father, and her Beast fetish. Heh.

    Well, Agent Brand is
    part space-dog or space-werewolf something.

    Uh... Yes.

    I thought so, but I swear I remember reading somewhere that Bendis said "He" wouldn't be revealed until issue 6. Maybe Bendis meant he wouldn't appear in the main book till issue 6.

    I don't know. I guess "he" is revealed to Earth in SI #6 as they proceed to blast out propaganda. It's like saying, These colors don't run and not showing the flag. After a while you're just like, Whatever fuck-o.

    I have been writing a longer treatise on the chicks since my last one was such muddled shit that the only thing that anyone got out of it was a nice laugh. But I will say this:

    What has bothered me forever is the end of NA #25 when Maria is telling Tony that he should lead SHIELD and uses the analogy of A Few Good Men. The problem with Hill comparing herself to Caffee (Tom Cruise's character) is that, yeah, they were ringers thrown in to further a political agenda. The only difference is that in the movie, Caffee manned up and became the lawyer his client needed, and not the one that his bosses had hoped would make the case disappear into a black hole. Hill never did, and yet instead of demoting her back to some shitberg hole in Madripoor or worse, Stark kept her on. But I hope, I hope, I honest to fucking God hope that given the events of issue 5, she has finally manned the fuck up and realized that she becomes the commander SHIELD needs now, and like it or not (given Tony's proclivity to adventuring) has been the right person leading SHIELD all along, if for no other reason than because right now she's all they have left.

    Fury's doing his shit. Tony and Natasha are in the Savage Land. Dugan and the Contessa are MIA/POW or even KIA, and by now in the timeline Sharon Carter is either dead or caring for Steve Jr. There's no one left who's done the job before.

    Personally I don't think Bendis turned Noh-varr all emo-like but he does write him differently than Morrison. Speaking of BMB, when is he going to do his commentary for issue 5?

    Yeah, his character is more of a short-sighted and rebellious adolescent.

    This is of course a reversal of things, as in his original appearance it was Marvel Boy who was right and the system that was wrong.

    If its a (non-skrull) Pym story they're probably going to distance the story from wife-beating.

    It really isn't that funny and its been played out.

    It just seems that every time someone brings up the Pym relationship, they can't help but mention it. I really do like Hank and Janet, but how bout we let them be, and not trap them inside this box of domestic violence. Even in the Ultimate Universe, where they have the power to change things and not affect the 616, they still had to make sure that Hank was smacking her around.

    The only thing he's ever done of note besides invent Pym particles is slap his wife.
    EDIT: Okay fine and Ultron but even then his track record ain't exactly stellar.

    I'd like to see Hank call out all the other superdudes who have hit their wives.

    "Hey Richards, remember when your wife was all done up in bondage gear, sporting a mullet, and you popped her in the eye? 'Cause even if nobody else does, I sure do fuck-o! Oh and there's my good friend Spider-Man! I seem to recall you delivering a good ol' proportional-strength-of-a-spider bitchslap to your pregnant wife."

    "Pfft, that's crazy Hank. You know I've never been married."

    Didn't he also have to help put Jean down during the Warsong/Endsong thing.

    Also, the Danger Room. We can be pretty sure he's probably hit Emma or a reasonable facsimile of her at least once.

    Ooooh... "you don't have any claws". Mental or not, he's deffinately smacked Emma.
