    The convenience store Reed works at is the Fab Fuel, Food, and Fizz. That's where they get their logo.

    I'm trying real hard to make a slurpee name out of Galactus.

    The Slurpee machine will have cherry and blue flavors, and then you will realize that the Slurpee machine is Galactus.

    Magog is a parody character but nobody at DC seems to understand that

    see also: Lobo

    like he was literally created to serve as a personification of everything wrong with comics in the 90's.

    look at him, he's basically a distillation of Lee/Liefeld/McFarlane characters of that era

    he was Image Comics made flesh

    taking him seriously is the worst

    Magog isn't cool or a legitimate character in other contexts

    he was a symbol for the themes of Kingdom Come.

    It'd be like saying "you know who we should bring back? That fucked up version of Superboy from a universe where Superman is a fictional character and he's just a crazy asshole, and ignore the specific story context he was made for and instead make him the core of a major comic book event"

    good thing DC never did that, eh

    Yeah. Instead they just said "Hey, let's have Kurt Busiek do a mini about that idea. Only, you know, without the asshole and with the context. That would be cool."

    And they did and it was!

    I will give DC credit for having the nerve to show so much open contempt for their readers in how they made Superboy Prime into a parody of comic book fans. They couldn't insult the readers more if they had pictures of Didio giving the finger on every page.

    So the Avengers/Attack on Titan story got published

    Apparently the pages and all dialogue from characters that aren't Marvel read right to left like normal manga

    But the Avengers' dialogue is left to right like American comics

    That's

    Pretty great

    You know when you are wearing baroque space armour and wielding some sort of space staff, your entire body wreathed in a corona of eldritch purple lighting, wearing a fucking gat on your waist kind of de-glamourises the whole look

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    On one hand: Punisher... good? naw no way

    On the other hand: Matt Fraction
