I still can’t get over how good the de-aging tech looks with him.
Do you think these films will start a cult or conspiracy theory about Jackson being a vampire or immortal? He looks younger in this film than the films he did decades earlier.

He will need permission from the head of the coven, Keanu Reeves.

The movie news has piqued my interest, can anyone recommend any good Shang Chi appearances? Had a search on Unlimited but it mostly only showed him in Masters of Kung Fu from the 70s and odd appearances here and there.

You should absolutely check out the original Master of Kung Fu and Deadly Hands of Kung Fu series, though. They're real solid Bronze Age books with up and coming writers like Doug Moench and Chris Claremont.
Unfortunately he's not had a lot of the spotlight in modern series. He shows up a good amount in stuff like Marvel Knights (2000) and Heroes for Hire (2006), there was a 2002 Shang-Chi miniseries that isn't on MU yet, there's Spider-Island: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu (2011), Secret Avengers (2010) #18 is a pretty great self-contained issue that spotlights him a bit, there's a 2014 Deadly Hands of Kung Fu series, a 2015 Master of Kung Fu Secret Wars tie-in miniseries, and he showed up just recently in a few issues of Domino (2018).

Hey. Want to know the hilarious secret of Spider-Ham that contradicts this?

In the comics, Peter Porker is a spider that was bitten by a radioactive pig, not the other way around

The other day I read Judas by Jeff Loveness and I am still thinking about it.
It's so sad and so beautiful and while I've seen a lot of the ideas in it before in other depictions of Judas (a character who I deeply sympathize and identify with, of course), it all came together in that book in such a profound way for me.
I don't know, there's not a lot of comics that have effected me in quite this way with such a short run. Like, yeah, Sandman and Y and parts of Hellblazer and The Wicked + The Divine have a lot, but that's over the course of years of comics. This was a four issue run. The only thing I can think of at the moment that comes close to this sort of effect is Prince of Cats, which is, y'know, the best comic book ever made.
Judas is incredibly good and got slept on hard, like most of Jeff Loveness' comics which is such a bummer
Judas spoilers
It would be so easy to have an ultimately cynical take on faith as a whole in that book. Anything that centers around Judas, no matter the tenor of the portrayal (but especially positive ones) has a bit of that cynicism built into it. And from Lucifer's appearance, it appeared that was the direction it was going to take.
Which like, fine. I'm not a Christian and never have been, it's all mythology to me, and I could certainly enjoy a good story that took that direction, especially with that beautiful art to go along with it.
But to run through the harrowing of hell and ultimately result in a loving and hopeful portrayal of Judas that doesn't throw religion under the bus? God damn.

why is his name peter porker
His owner named him
Its a pun
Porker is not a pun for a
spider
No it's a pun for May Porker, the animal AU version of May Parker who is a pig what got irradiated and bit the spider, Peter.
Like the entire crux of the joke of Spider-Ham is it's a complete inversion of how this stuff normally goes and it's frankly the gonzo detail that makes it work for me.

I would honestly be surprised if they changed Spider-Ham's origin story for Spider-verse. It's weird, but in a way that feels perfectly in line with that movie, based on what we've seen so far. Just have him explain the whole thing in a short monologue, cut to the other Spiders looking at him completely dumbfounded, then cut to the next scene

Getting those drum beats right in line with the music is pretty great
They make ice-cream for those with lactose-intolerance!
Side effects may include involuntary military service.
Well, sign me up then!
Wait a minute...
I have the same issue, except my head-Carol sounds an awful lot like Commander Shepard.
And it's unfair to compare anyone to Jennifer Hale.
Well Jennifer Hale did voice her in the Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series.
If the military offered a Twisted Metal style reward at my hypothetical service in which they cured my dietary restrictions?
I'd sign up.
But it's covered in claw marks!

Jon Mulaney is fucking perfect in that role, Jesus Christ.

Or a kosher all-beef one.
It could be an all-beef frank!
He’s a major focus of Hickman’s Avengers World.
If it’s a New York ‘dog there’s going to be very little actual pig in there.
It’s probably no worse than chewing your nails/trotters.

Honestly I think Loveness is probably the best in the game right now at hopeful, inspiring stories that don't feel overly sappy.

His owner was May Porker so he took the owner's last name.
