    I FINALLY have the ability to post photo's online due to circumstances I won't go into cause it will make me a laughing stock here but I can now share the awesomeness of my Jim Cheung sketch of Norman Osborn. This, as far as I know, is the only full headshot of Norman that Cheung as ever drawn so far. Here it is:

    photo.php?pid=24735&id=100000150261972

    I'm still having a bit of trouble posting full photo's so sorry about the link.

    That's 'cause you U-G-L-Y. You also probably ain't got no alibi!

    Or maybe you are a super hero and do not want us to know your secret identity.

    Or maybe you're one of those weirdos with a profile picture of anime.

    Bendis Talks Spider-Woman @ CBR
    In addition to Agent Brand, a multitude of Marvel characters like the New Avengers and Carol Danvers also play supporting roles in “Spider-Woman.” “One of my favorite comics of all time is 'Avengers Annual' #10, which has Jessica Drew saving Carol Danvers,” Bendis said. “She was as lost as Jessica is here. So there's kind of a flip side to their relationship.”

    Holy shit, YES!

    I still hate the power drainer thing, but I'm curious as to why it knocked out Ronin, and not Mockingbird. Looks like this issue might be better, cuz last issue was just weird.

    With some photoshopping, this could so be my new desktop.

    It could just be some of us don't know much about the Avengers since Bendis relaunched it. We were all X-youngun's back in the day, or T-Bolt teamsters.

    Hell, whatever happened to Sersi? The only thing I remember about Avengers back in the 90's was Sersi being on the team and was kind of a Mary Sue, like Busiek made Wanda during his run.

    I miss Wanda. I'm not really sure why I like the character, I just sympathize her from House of M I think.

    I kind of hope that Slott brings her back in some capacity in his Mighty Avengers after Loki is to be revealed, but I think it's more likely she'll be brought back during an event.

    Bitch needs to die is what needs to happen. Like, Clint is all ready to assassinate Norman Osborn, but Wanda just happens to teleport right in front of him and he takes out both of them. And the world rejoices.

    But in all seriousness, how can you not sympathize with Wanda even a little?

    She's had a hugely fucked up life. Her father loved his ideals more than his children, and made it quite clear to her multiple times. Then, she unwittingly gives birth to kids that are shards of the devil's soul.

    And Wasp throws this in her face! And she snaps and kills her friends. It's not like she was acting like her father. She wasn't all, "Mwahaha! Victory is mine! I'm going to kill the Avengers!" She was driven insane with grief, and killed her friends.

    She's redeemable, especially in the current status quo.

    I see your point. I keep forgetting how long ago that was, and God that makes me feel old.

    It was probably watching those Tina Fey episodes of SNL when she was head writer *rimshot*

    No, no, but really, Wanda's Irredeemable

    1. Am I going to have to take away your rimshot privileges again? That was terrible.

    2. That is not the same, at all, and you know it.

    Hey, don't get all up in my Escalade and call it a Denali, I don't really like Hal either for as much as Geoff Johns has tried to redeem him.

    There are just some lines you cross, and have to accept that doing certain things with certain characters you make them unusable for the future.

    See how cool Bobbi is in that Avengers preview? That's someone who I would much rather read about than Wanda coming back and being all "I can never forgive myself!" Especially if Immonen gets to draw her, that art is fantastic.
