Gil Kane was one of those artists who inspired me to pick up a book I didn’t normally read just because he drew it.

This book shook me when it first came out.

And poor Nick, catching strays!

You don’t need a precognitive in the bed next to you to see how that would turn out.

Val really has a deep reservoir of awfulness inside.

Sigh.

Flirt.

No one can say Jerry didn’t try.

Oh, god, do I have to sit with Magma at lunch?

Who wears short shorts? Forge wears short shorts.

She’s so horny.

Yeah, you are.

Randomly chose this issue to start a read-through.

I’m going to say it definitely includes Lightning, Tigra, and Julia Carpenter, who is the queen of roasting Carol Danvers.

Now I’m trying to figure out who is on the meanest, funniest Avengers group chat.

This is just a direct quote from the Marvel Heroes slack.

Wanda: “if you can’t find fresh finger of a birth-strangled babe, ditch delivered by a drab, store bought is fine.”

Vision: “Are you streaming again?”

Vision’s Durwood era, when Wanda would let magic loose in the house whenevs.

Girl, no.

Cute hat!

How I arrived on Bluesky

Right? And the cafeteria at headquarters got annihilated again.

It’s one of the rare occasions when I wish more of the kids had lived.

So, “Clown in a Cornfield” is actually… pretty good? And well acted?

Indeed!

I love how everyone in Marvel outer space just kind of sucks.

I love James Urbianak, but I don’t know if he’s who I would choose to read a trashy noir. I keep hearing Rusty Venture and Arthur Tack, neither of whom screams “California ex-con.”

Keep your symbiotes and Spirits of Vengeance out of my comics.

I can’t resist a schematic.

Every now and then, I just don’t care which House the Hunters pick.
