    The Christmas special that has Gravity repeatedly trying to enter an Avengers party, only to be denied, really cemented my love for him.

    And he's the only one on Santron's "Nice List."

    is there a book I can read Gravity in besides Young Avengers (I plan on starting YA soon)

    His original mini-series, Gravity, by Sean McKeever and Mike Norton was available in TPB, though now out of print. You can pick a copy up for a couple bucks, on Amazon marketplace.

    His next big appearance was in Beyond! by Dwayne McDuffie and Scott Kolins. Again, it's out of print, but you can find it for cheap pretty easily.

    From there, he appeared in Dwayne McDuffie's Fantastic Four, which you can find in The New Fantastic Four trade, featuring Black Panther and Storm.

    He also appeared in Robert Kirkman's Marvel Team-Up arc, League of Losers, which is pretty great.

    From there, he sporadically appeared in stuff like Avengers: The Initiative, and Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt.

    Gravity Fun Fact: Artist Mike Norton recycled his design for a third Blue Beetle's goggles, and used them for Gravity.

    Munch Fun Fact: I'm pretty sure most of my initial affinity for Gravity, can be attributed to his resemblance to Blue Beetle.

    I hope Gravity becomes a permanent member of YA - with Norton sharing art duty on the title it'd be neat to see a character he created brought in.

    I don't know, I kind of want to see how a Billy who is trying to be more responsible, but is being tutored in magic by Loki turns out

    I mean, there's no way that can't end in hilarity, right?

    Gravity would be so great on Young Avengers

    he's this kinda dopey Midwestern kid who, despite living in Manhattan for a year or so and travelling the cosmos, isn't used to big city life and craziness

    he would stick out like a sore thumb among the hip, ultra-cool cast and it would be so entertaining

    I'd like to see Spider-Girl on the cast too

    or at least a scene in Afterparty where she and America argue in Spanish

    I don't know why but I think that'd be great

    in the interview about the Afterparty (and in interviews prior to the book's launch) Gillen said that part of his goal is to spend some time looking beyond the "core" team at other young heroes in the Marvel universe, and have the book be about being a young hero in general.

    Rick Remender, also on the dais, talked about Uncanny Avengers and "Ragnarok Now," the current arc. The Apocalypse Twins, from the far future with Kang, and have their own agenda. Steve McNiven was announced as joining the series with issue #14, featuring the promo art you see to your left. The story will feature Red Skull, the Twins, Kang, go through time and space, and will "have a large body count. The heroes will pay with loss of life."

    Spencer's "Secret Avengers" has a big focus on S.H.I.E.L.D., with Daisy Johnson out and Maria Hill back in charge with a huge conflict on A.I.M. island.

    what are you doing to Daisy, Spencer

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Honestly I prefer Maria in charge

    I like Daisy a bunch and she is competent but it felt pretty weird having her go from never actually being a SHIELD Agent and only training under an AWOL Nick Fury to being Director of SHIELD

    All the crap people have been giving Wanda for not really atoning for M-Day, maybe she's going to do something stupid/noble/self-sacrificing?

    as long as she stays with SHIELD I'm cool

    but the soundbyte sort of sounds like she's just out of the series

    Speaking to the format of "Inhuman," Alonso describe the plan as "complex." "We want it to unfold slowly, it's going to be a slowly creeping phenomenon," he said. "We'll reintroduce you to the characters you know and love already, and we'll reveal new pockets of their relationships that you maybe didn't see. There may be a 'Game of Thrones' element in this, but that will come to a slow boil."

    What would you do in the Marvel Universe if there was no oversight, coordination or anything? Wacker: "I'd have Peter Parker marry Mary Jane." Remender: "I'd just kill a ton of characters. I'm hacky like that." Alonso: "Luke Cage: Hero for Hire would be the number one selling book." Humphries: "I'd make a universe dominated by Rogue." Tieri: "Everything would be written by me." Wells: "Everything would be written by Frank." Spencer: "I've always dreamed of a year where everything is flipped, the good guys go bad, bad guys are good." Soule: "I'd solve the mystery of where Ross's mustache goes when he becomes the Red Hulk." McKone: "I'd design an easier-to-draw Captain America costume." Lowe: "Every cover would have two characters kissing."

    I'm all for a Luke Cage title being the best-seller, but does it have to be "Hero for Hire?"

    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Hero for Hire Luke is the best

    I mean modern day Luke attitude but as a Hero for Hire? Yes please

    The worst part about splitting Peter and Mary Jane up is how do you make it interesting when they get back together again? Because they are going to get back together again eventually.

    You make the letters page for that issue be a full-page apology from Joe Q. for One More Day.

    My secret hope is that Daisy basically just leads a covert branch for SHIELD. maria is a fine fit to run the main show, but have Daisy running black ops and stuff with the rest of the secret warriors crew.

    Though I guess most of the opposition in a covert conflict were resolved in secret warriors anyway.

    Isn't shield itself a black ops group? Does shield have it own black ops, so black that they can't properly be described by the word black?

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    SHIELD isn't really Black Ops, it is a known entity in the world

    That's like saying the FBI or Interpol are black ops

    Nah, it's more like the CIA. Everybody knows the CIA exists and is involved in a lot of shady stuff, but the actual stuff they do is extremely secret.

    New SHIELD also has quite a bit more oversight from the international community, it seems. I think it'll change what they can pull off "on the books" compared to how they operated in the past, or at least that seems like what they're trying to build it up as.
