    well what if
    Logan takes his hood/identity/whatever after he kills the real one? The time travellers from the FF story are from further in the future than Old Man Logan takes place.

    Hey, so a crazy theory on the identity of "The Hooded Man" in Millar's Fantastic Four.
    It looks like it could be Logan. More specifically, Old Man Logan

    Just out of curiousity what is your theory based on? I'm not reading this FF arc but I am reading Wolverine.

    It's hard to explain, I mean it's not like there have been huge clues, but his general gruff demeanor is certainly in line with how Millar writes him, and the little we have seen of his face as well.

    And he certainly does not act like the big evil dude we were led to believed the real Hooded Man would be.

    That's a good theory, Bale. If you're right, you'll have every right to gloat.

    I like the idea of him as a sort of overarching villain. Villain out of necessity type, which is what it sounds like you guys are talking about. You jerks are going to make me read all Mark Millar's crap he's doing right now, aren't you? What all ties in with these?

    Fantastic Four
    Old Man Logan
    Marvel: 1985
    and Kick-Ass are the 4 books he's writing right now.

    And they are all pretty damn good in my opinion.

    Yeah, right now I'm only reading Old Man Logan, and I like it so far. Very "Unforgiven Meets Mad Max But Not"

    So
    There are two hooded men, the real one that Logan kills, and Logan himself as the one who came back and shit
    Millar if this is what you're doing it will be the coolest thing ever except for the time Iron Fist kicked a guy through a train

    Kick-Ass isn't really a tie-in though, aside from one reference to 1985

    so far.

    Although yes, it's by far the most loosely connected and is more a spiritual/thematic tie from what Millar has said.

    Franklin Richards also reads Kick-Ass, so that's one more connection.

    Yeah I'm not seeing a connecting theme here
    Unless it's something about unlikely heroes or something, given Dave's nothingness and the fact that the 1985 kid is just a geek who knows his comics

    Maybe it's that big things come in small packages, and that only those with the courage to chase their dreams earn the right to seem them come true.

    Wow. Like everything you wrote is both wrong and nonsensical.

    It's
    Pryor

    Gonna have to disagree.
    What we know about Mutant Zero; she's an impressive physical combatant, has a "dark side," displays telekinesis, is famous enough that Ant-Man, a true layman of the Marvel Universe, can recognize her, she has red hair, is female, is a mutant, and Dan Slott said non-comic fans would be familiar with her from other media.

    It's Typhoid Mary. She's a gifted martial artist, suffers from disassociative identity disorder, with one of her personalities being a crazed psychopath, possesses telekinesis, was a former soap opera star, has red hair, is a woman, is a mutant, and appeared in the Elektra movie.

    Swoosh.

    What does an unrecognizable bit part in one of the worst superhero films ever have to do with things?

    Anyway, you're probably right.

    I saw the Elektra movie. I was like, "Give me a ride to see The Incredibles, roommate," and roommate was like, "Okay, but we have to see Elektra too. It'll be a double feature!"

    It was a bitter pill to swallow.

    Dan Slott exists in a reality parallel to our own, where Monica Belluci and Christopher Nolan made an extremely successful Elektra film, while the guy that directed Soul Plane did Batman: The Wiz, starring Ice Cube as Batman, and Marlon Wayans as Robin.

    My anti-moment of the week:

    Michael Allreds art in Fables was truely horrific, it looks like the man has never actually seen another human being before, has no concept of motion, stance, expression or oddly enough children and has a crippling phobia of defining lines.

    Another MotW for me is seeing Mike Deodato's art in Wolverine: Origins. I like Steve Dillon and all but Mike suits that book much better.

    I was just watching it on the CW station here. And you know what, it was totally worth watching just to hear Goran Visjnic says his name was Mark Miller. I laughed so hard I nearly peed myself.

    Pinocchio looked like he grew up really close to Chernobyl and then taken up licking lead paint for a hobby. I'll post some scans later for the people whom haven't seen it.
