    Right, but why would a spider have a pig pun for a name? That was the point.

    Die, the new Keiron Gillen/Stephanie Hans book launched today

    It lives up to the sales pitch "Gothic Horror Jumanji" to a tee

    It's dripping with atmosphere, has a fantastic sense of dread and seems really really promising

    One thing I am a little worried about, but not nearly as much as I would be in the hands of almost any other big comics writer than Gillen, is
    the lead character Dominic, identifies as male and played a female character in the game world they got stuck in for 2 years. They don't get heavily into it, because it is the first issue, but the impression I got is that they have a buttload of repressed gender identity issues stemming from the event and the fact that Dominic was literally unable to speak about their time in the world or anything from it due to a curse so they had absolutely no way to try and process what happened externally.

    Gillen has always seemed like a pretty vocal ally and someone who listens to LGBTQ voices in how representation should occur but since he isn't actually part of the group in question with this story beat there is always potential that it could go bad. Hopefully he pulls it off and tells a very good story!

    WicDiv turned me way off. Is it more that mode, or something new?

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    It's definitely different than WicDiv

    WicDiv is very...clever? It feels very modern and chic and stylish and that flair is a large part of the book's tone and presentation

    Die is a straight up gothic horror story. The playful banter and flair is gone and replaced with creeping dread and drama.

    It's still absolutely gorgeous, though

    Let's say I think it thought it was clever and leave it at that. My other issues with it we don't need to go into.

    If this is more straightforward, maybe I will check it out.

    I will probably let it go a bit to see whether I want to or not.

    I forgot how gorgeous the covers were, yes

    A spoiler for Captain Marvel seemingly got out via the toyline announcement
    The Nick Fury toy comes with an accessory of Goose, Carol's cat, standing upright in some heavy duty arm, leg and mouth restraints.

    In the comics her cat, Chewie, is actually a Flerken, which resemble Earth cats.

    I wonder if that's gonna be the case or if it's, like, a Skrull

    When Marvel revealed the toyline themselves earlier today, they removed the spoiler-y bit from the image.

    I really hope that all it is is Fury thinks it's a Skrull but it's not it's just a normal cat and it's pissed off about being in those restraints

    Then the misunderstanding is cleared up, they take the cat our of the restraints, and... well, that's why Fury wears an eyepatch now.

    Marvel very quietly announced a 5 issue Darth Vader miniseries, Dark Visions, from Dennis Hopeless and Paolo Villanelli

    So if you're keeping track it took roughly 2 months for Marvel to replace the book they cancelled when they fired Chuck Wendig for bullshit reasons

    I thought he said something along the lines of keeping politics out of art at some point, but it's hard to keep track of which douchebag did what

    Honestly I'm not really pissed at Hopeless or Villanelli

    They're working for-hire artists and have bills to pay, and the book, while starring Vader, is a different premise and actual title than Wendig's pitch

    Now Marvel Editorial on the other hand should be ashamed at having the gall to order up a replacement Vader miniseries after only 2 months. They couldn't even be bothered to just do a mini of literally ANY OTHER STAR WARS CHARACTER

    He might have, but I would be a little surprised considering his last run on an X-book involved him writing a plot of young Bobby going on dates with dudes and had a big ole full page spread when he finally got to kiss a boy he liked. So it would be weird considering the crowd who want to keep "politics" out of comics would very much not be okay with that.


    On another note, the X-Men Holiday Special is very, very good! The set-up is each day of December, up to the 25th, is its own page with a different artist and writer, so one page stories. Highlights for me include:
    Iceman's White elephant gift exchange for the x-teens

    A wordless page of Glob Herman setting up mistletoe to try and get someone to kiss him

    Beast being outdone by Dr. Nemesis when he tries to give Dr. Rao an 8-DVD collector's set of Star Wars movies, and then Dr. Nemesis gives her an original script of The Last Jedi , signed by Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill

    Nightcrawler giving Old Man Logan a framed portrait of himself, in a callback to decades ago when Wolverine did the same to Nightcrawler

    Cannonball running into a Shi'ar parody of the Christians upset over Merry Christmas being changed to Happy Holidays

    A cute pay-off to the X-23 storyline about the Cuckoos with Mindee giving Gabby a Secret Santa gift

    A sweet and sad scene where Beast is in his old bedroom at his parent's house and hears his parents talking about him

    Magneto having a conversation with some abandoned mutant kids about the meaning of Hannukkah

    I really liked it.

    wh

    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'm just imagining Mulaney explaining this in-character and I cannot wait for this movie
