Also, they made the Blue Beetle ongoing darker and edgier. And they made it so his family and friends no longer knew he was a superhero, even though having those supporting characters be in the know was part of what made the character work. In short, fuck Dan Didio.
Dustin Weaver's interlocking covers for Avengers #44 and New Avengers #33, the final issues of those series
You know, I never really thought of it before but I wonder what's the other Earth that's gonna be part of the final Incursion gonna be about. A familiar alternate reality or something completely new?
I think it's either going to be a universe with no superheroes at all, no one to defend it but people from 616
OR
It'll be the Ultimate Universe, because let's face it, being fodder for a 616 story is about the right luck level for how that universe is treated.

Adding to that second thought, the cover to next month's issue of Avengers is just the Ultimate #1 cover, being reused.
You know what would be a good Batman Beyond comeback?
Batman is getting up there in years but can still hold his own in a fight. Still, he won't be able to do this much longer. It's really too bad. Oh but there's this kid, Terry, full of youth and energy, maybe he can take it up. Batman will still suit up and show him the ropes, though.
Too bad Terry never knew the original Batman and didn't grow up with the man, who died years ago. Because this old Batman is Dick Grayson.

Man I love the ultimate universe but if its gotta go being at the climax of hickman's grand Avengers opus is how I'd like to see it go.
It would almost be refreshing to see a mentor relationship leaning a little more on the supportive side
Also the way I'm picturing it, Dick's trying to live up to Bruce's memory and teaching shit to this kid who doesn't understand some stuff because he never knew Bruce and that puts kind of a weight on both of Dick's shoulders
I dunno, I started thinking about this and I really like it.

If anyone hasn't read the first Jaime Reyes series (well, the first 25 issues), you need to because it's fuckin' tops blooby

Actually, last I checked, they're currently having Dick be Terry's guide in the Batman Beyond digital comic. I don't know for sure if it's still going or not but it seemed to happen after a time-skip with Terry going to college and having some sort of fallout with Bruce.
By the way, anyone keeping tabs on that Future's End mini? I'm curious to know how Terry's doing in that.
I think there's just a large disparity between what some people feel about the extremis trial (or more specifically, body modification). I don't think the authors see it as anything more than a dickhead move where Tony offered something and then took it away.
Also, it's definitely not the traditional concept of body horror since your choices were either A. Anything you want (which ideally would be something you like), or b. What you had before you started (which, even if you hate, is kind of the opposite of body horror as far as I know.)
Being offered the ability to 'fix' yourself and then having that taken away is not the traditional idea of body horror but its no less awful
It's pretty terrible, but I'm pretty sure it was intended as more of an act of not giving a damn rather than an act of outright maliciousness. I think the authors just miscalculated how some people feel about this kind of thing, so rather than being a shitty corporate-style that the authors intended (the kind with unforeseen consequences and is really poor to the end-user), it comes off as something excessively evil in the eye of some people.
That level of greed and capitalistic fuckery is Evil.
ABC your show player is garbage. A big white bar on the bottom of my screen so I don't get actual full screen? Big obnoxious play/pause menu that takes too long to fade? ugh gross

you lose the strict mentor thing

Which is odd because Static Shock was literally custom made to deal with gangs and inner city issues why not use him?

Is can think of far worse ending.
Remember that the cover for issue #41 is literally the cover to The Ultimates #1

I didn't see it
(I'm not even watching I just wanted the blind joke)
it's ~9:30 on the East Coast right now, isn't it?

Nope, 9 is the normal time. It was 8 last week because they showed two episodes.

It was literally just the two d's made out of the streets with a date.
He was also one of the main characters of Young Justice season 2
aka the best cartoon
and also rebooted him/redid his origin despite the character being created barely 5 years prior
Even more than Ultimate Spider-Man
GIVE IT TO ME NOW
That'll be one of the special objects that only Ollie can interact with
I think Damian might be more fun.

Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)

Steam: MightyPotatoKing
"My name is Peggy Carter, I fought alongside Captain America"
I can practically hear "someone else, something else"
Other than that the episode was tops and Jarvis is still the best
I also like Thompson because he's like Pete Campbell and Ken Cosgrove spliced together
Oh, man, me, too. Me, too.
That and the last page in the deluxe got me good.
