Good evening owls of /co/,
Tonight Jeff Parker picks up the cast of Digglebolts, they meet the Agents of Atlas, and we get to see the ultimate fate of Mr. X--you won't want to miss it!
>>78301642
Hello Storyteller.
More of Mr. X getting rekt? Sounds good.
Hey storyteller!
I remember reading that Parker ignores that random frozen real Yelena thing from last night's storytime, which is a waste of cool but ridiculous goggles.
>>78301642
Our boys!
>>78301794
If you know what happens PLEASE DON'T SPOIL IT, but oh yes, oh god yes
>>78301850
Ghost would be as good at sexual harassment as Tinya!
I tried to sell a NOTHING POST-REBOOT dude on Omega Men today, but he's still hung up on how the reboot didn't need to happen
however, he's also a bitter X-Men fan and hasn't liked the Avengers since Bendis made them into the Wolverine and Spidey crew, so, well
>>78301900
so in, like, two pages, we get interesting characterization for both people here
>>78301900
Omega Men is a complete reboot and it's awesome, so he can go fuck himself.
That CBR article by a long time comic shop owner about relaunches and variants being bad/confusing for retailers and readers made me happy.
And kinda sad since I doubt any of the publisherscough marvel coughreally care about it right now as long as they have 100k+ for the 1st issue.
>>78301900
He didn't even listen to it not having anything to do with the reboot?
>>78301900
>Ghost would be as good at sexual harassment as Tinya!
It's a damn shame they'll never meet. If DC and Marvel ever did another crossover, the Legion is nearly guaranteed to be mingling with the X-Men mostly.
Sounds like you ran into a NOT MUH sort there.
>>78301900
>Bendis made them into the Wolverine and Spidey crew, so, well
I always thought that was one of the weaker critiques of his Avengers. Tho I guess it's just a way of complaining about Bendis shitting on old characters.
>>78302010
He kept going on about how all the good things didn't NEED the reboot, and I mean sure whatever, but the reboot happened, so read what's fucking good
The clerk, though, who is a riot (I showed him War Machine 2.0 the last time I was there and he lost it) perked up when I described the paneling style and the density and the NO HANDHOLDING drop in
also I scored some L.E.G.I.O.N. including that Stealth issue, going back for the rest when it's 50 cent day
>>78302044
That's kind of my shorthand for his (mostly accurate) "The Avengers used to have more of an ethos and guiding idea to them and they got turned into a "throw high profile characters at it to make it sell" thing
also at the register there were some Tarot buttons, and NGL, I was tempted
>>78302087
The bitter X-fan was right, though, that in some ways you're safer if something isn't owned by Marvel and can't be made like the movies, as we all used to enjoy Marvel Cosmic, and...
the Paladin/Ant-Man stuff is pretty good
>>78302055
Shazam absolutely needed the reboot.
>>78302119
Oh Mr. X, you sociopath, you
>>78302119
Marvel Cosmic was dead for a while before the movie, sometimes dead is better
>>78302162
And Dial H
>>78302055
>also I scored some L.E.G.I.O.N. including that Stealth issue
Nice. Also, I love how we will always know what "that Stealth issue" refers to.
>>78302162
Yeah
I know people are still mad about Billy not be 100% GOLLY GEE at the very beginning and the fact that his name is changed, but the entire Shazam franchise was pretty weak and messy before the reboot.
>>78302174
ME LLAMO SENOR X
>>78302188
X-dude had read volume 2 of R.E.B.E.L.S. but not 1, and I was all "noooo, original has way more edge and it's not decompressed"
didn't get the Stealth has her way with Vril issue...yet.
>>78302224
And, the potential for a new Marvel Family structure where someone isn't always the odd man out...that was needed too
>>78302224
I feel like they were maybe trying to do something with it near the end there, with that weird as fuck Osiris plot and him stealing Freddy's powers, but it was going nowhere good, fast
>>78302255
>tfw it's been a year since New 52 Isis was introduced
goddamn it Johns
>>78302010
I read some slight fear mongering on CBR about variants, and wondered if that market really can collapse as badly as it did in the 90s, now that DC and Marvel are owned by WB and Disney. And if so, why the hell hasn't it happened yet?
>>78302281
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FARC
Real conflict, long-going.
>>78302316
This bodes well!
>>78302224
It's weird that people see it as the reboot finally changing his name, when Freddy was going as Shazam for a while and Billy was the wizard.
>>78302336
Went to a local artists' bazaar today trying to find some things for people, but no luck besides ogling really nice silversmithing
I gotta learn how to knit, myself
>>78302226
>>78302255
I can't wait for our boy Ghost to ravage Mr. X in his smug boipussy. I don't actually know what;s going to happen specifically, but the set up is fairly obvious.
>>78302361
GHOST
YOU SCAMP
>>78302401
:D
>>78302379
my lips are sealed
>>78302418
This is so great. I love it.
>>78302254
Johns' expanded Marvel family is another one of those things that sadly flew under the radar of the diversity crowd and just gets hate from traditionalists.
Oh, look who showed up in Bombshells.
>>78298956
>>78302432
You in that demon knights thread too?
>>78302010
I am getting a lot of delicious schadenfreude about Marvel's relaunch falling flat
>>78302436
Excellent!
>>78302348
>yeah well that was FREDDY not BILLY
That or they just don't remember and want another reason to hate the reboot.
>>78302460
I keep hoping that Omega Men showing up on so many "Best of 2015" lists does something for it/Tom King
>>78302224
>the entire Shazam franchise was pretty weak and messy before the reboot.
>Billy and Mary got stripped of their powers because lel evil corruption
>Adam turned to stone
>Osiris resurrected and evil
>Freddy jobbing to Prometheus
I don't think the people who say Curse of Shazam was bad or not needed knew what the Marvel family status was pre-reboot
>>78302473
I wonder if the comics world at large is recognizing Providence's brilliance.
>>78302473
I went to a big Asian mart today and seriously thought about $4.99 a pound live crabs
then realized I've never cooked that in my life
>>78302361
>I gotta learn how to knit, myself
It's fun! I am currently making a stuffed dinosaur as a gift.
>>78302473
I wish, but there's not a chance in hell of doing anything to floppy sales. I really, really hope the trade sales are fucking stellar.
>>78302455
I saw it earlier, yeah.
>>78302498
Paladin's nom de guerre drives me a little batty
>>78302498
Really? Crab not on your radar?
>>78302478
Exactly.
>>78302432
Darla is such a qt though.
Some other thread came up with the idea of her being called Shazamazon since Freddy wants to be called King Shazam and everyone else needs a name. Make Darla a Wondy fangirl and that would be a nice name for her.
>>78302436
I am SO happy that someone remembered she exists.
>>78302456
Same. They still get that retailer money tho
>>78302522
I think that they should be a mix of Lt. Marvel bluntness and stuff that are their traits...spice girl style.
Like Eugene being Professor Shazam
>>78302460
>Excellent!
Right? It's about damn too. Not only do we finally get another Wonder Rogue in something, but the Baroness herself? If this becomes a trend, I'm gonna end up owing someone a blowjob.
>>78302456
Is it, though? They had like a crazy 75% market share in November, although a lot of their recent success is Star Wars.
>>78302518
KEIKAKU???
>>78302519
Live crab that I'd have to do all the stuff to, no
also they look at you with beady little eyes all "I here to pinch u, sucka"
>>78302538
For all I've been blah about her, Bennett seems to be into the weird corners of the mythos here, you know?
>>78302562
>Live crab that I'd have to do all the stuff to, no
You get used to it, but I see your point.
>>78302226
>>78302255
Holy shit. I don't see how Ken could stand a chance.
>>78302535
Yeah.
I don't know what they could call Mary or Pedro though.
>>78302473
I get the feeling Omega Men is going to have a great conclusion to the planned 12 issue arc and I won't even necessarily want more of it. Maybe that's just what I'm telling myself to ease the pain.
>>78302541
>Is it, though? They had like a crazy 75% market share in November, although a lot of their recent success is Star Wars.
apparently a lot of the sell through is not so great, plus relaunch numbers are either dropping immediately to the same as the previous volume or doing worse than before
their market share in November was like 47% which is still extremely high but #1s are still coming out
>>78302601
Isn't Mary obvious?
She was Mary Marvel...so it's clear she'd be Mary Shazam now.
Pedro...maybe Strong Shazam. He's a simple bloke
>>78302512
>I really, really hope the trade sales are fucking stellar.
I just want trade sales to be above 3k on that comichron list at this point. ;_;
>>78302577
Oh, I'm sure, it's just probably not a good off-the-cuff choice, you know?
>>78302602
I want it to wrap up cleanly and coherently but be followable by another master planned 12-issue run that's related but can stand alone, too
>>78302628
Mary Shazam doesn't have that alliteration though and thus is 10 times worse than Mary Marvel. And that was already a pretty meh name.
>>78302639
So, short version:
Agents of Atlas is a fictional superhero team in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is composed of characters originally appearing in unrelated stories published in the 1950s by Marvel's predecessor company, Atlas Comics.
The characters debuted as a team in What If #9 (June 1978) and starred in the 2006 limited series Agents of Atlas, written by Jeff Parker and with art by Leonard Kirk.
>>78302226
Senor Muerte/Suerte is way cooler than you Mister X.
>>78302656
I don't know, I think they're equally mediocre names.
But I'd rather them not try and re-invent the wheel.
Freddy? He needed a real name to call his own.
>>78302677
Hey, isn't he in Ant-Man now? I'm way behind on that book.
>dat umbrella handle
>>78302562
>For all I've been blah about her, Bennett seems to be into the weird corners of the mythos here, you know?
In that she seems to know any of the mythos, yeah. It's more than can be said for most writers. Bennett seems to actually know her shit.
I forget, who's doing that Legend of WW digital series? I'm almost certain the mystery villain is the Duke of Deception.
>>78302639
>I want it to wrap up cleanly and coherently but be followable by another master planned 12-issue run that's related but can stand alone, too

Niche titles like OM are probably best done in discrete, well-planned runs, really
>>78302694
>I forget, who's doing that Legend of WW digital series? I'm almost certain the mystery villain is the Duke of Deception.
Renae de Liz
>>78302701
Tom Taylor wrote the SW one-shot for them, which means I didn't even hold my nose and look at it, I was just 'nope'
yes, call me bitter
>>78302684
That he did.
And King Shazam is way better than Captain Marvel Jr
>>78302737
I can forgive a sexist joke coming from a jackass
>>78302746
Or CM3.
I don't know what they were thinking with that one.
>>78302760
He wanted to be a Captain Marvel too since Billy and Mary were both calling themselves that, except he couldn't actually introduce himself as Captain Marvel so he couldn't go by that
I mean, it's not a good name but I see what he was going for
>>78302746
Also I just realized that calling him King Shazam is probably a reference towards Elvis.
>>78302716
>>78302721
>Renae de Liz
Ah. The only complaint I have about that so far is the character who is obviously Philippus, is not called Philippus for whatever reason.
Also, that art is dangerously cute. Not a complaint, I'm just saying.
>>78302804
most certainly
>>78302786
>except he couldn't actually introduce himself as Captain Marvel
Oh god I remember that!
...yeah, the new marvel family set-up benefits everyone
>>78302804
Hahah, of course.
Lessened by his hair color change though
>>78302613
I don't know why I thought 75, maybe because DC was down to around 25.
It seems like they can just cover up their failures with a constant barrage of #1s, and it keeps working. We have series labeled 2015b because they've been relaunched twice in a year, for fucks sake.
>>78302814
>Also, that art is dangerously cute. Not a complaint, I'm just saying.
it has The Cutest Steve
>>78302775
>>78302814
'Philippus' as a name has always confused me because, well...it's not a woman's name, so I dunno what Perez was thinking
>>78302518
I'm assuming it's a reference to Have Gun Will Travel.
>>78302684
Shazam Jr. is decent but it should go to someone actually younger than Billy. Maybe it should be Darla's name.
>>78302838
It's also a Latin form and not a Greek one.
Oh look a spammer, how cute
>>78302838
Thank you, that bothers me too
Philippus is also not a Greek word form!
>>78302613
>or doing worse than before
I couldn't help but laugh when the relaunched Spider Gwen #2 was 2k less than #5 of the last volume.
>>78302759
People still think periods turn chicks into rage beasts? Anyone would be a little more cranky than usual if they had blood and fleshy crap bursting out of their snatch for a week. Geez.
>>78302893
>>78302891
Yeah, anything in Latin ending in -us is going to be masculine except for a few weird 4th declension nouns; the Greek would be an -os
>>78302894
that's cosmic justice, relaunches losing steam like that
>>78302861
Hahah! That should be Darla's name.
Also, her last name is Dudley, so we all know who her UNCLE is!
>>78302894
Bendis's Iron Man is also selling around what Fraction's was doing now, despite the big inital pushfuck Bendis
>>78302927
Who wouldn't trust Ghost, eh?
>>78302935
So I figured out that I DO have the entire Dark Reign chronology. So. I can probably do Dark Avengers. If I have to.
>>78302927
>Yeah, anything in Latin ending in -us is going to be masculine except for a few weird 4th declension nouns; the Greek would be an -os
there's a few first declension -a endings that are masculine nouns but yeah they wouldn't do that with a woman's name, unless it was meant to be a point that she was a woman with a male name but nobody ever pointed that out in a book so I'm guessing no
>>78302948
how are you owls today?
>>78302970
babysat a family member's puppy all day so i'm tired af
now playing f2p star wars games on my phone to try and keep myself from getting KOTOR
>>78302970
I had a work christmas party last night and despite sleeping for seven hours I was still so exhausted when I got home I took a three hour nap and accomplished absolutely nothing all day
there was so much good free food and free booze though, goddamn
>>78302969
PAIN: poeta, agricola, incola, nauta
and Greek feminine nouns are alpha or eta endings and hehehe, they can change that depending on dialect
>>78302970
Tired, but glad finals are over.
>>78302970
Tired. Did my last of the Christmas shopping and I don't know why I did it on a Saturday of all days.
>>78302970
>How are you owls today?
Full of eggnog. But also out of eggnog. ;_;
And I may have my beef with Morrison, but Trial is looking like it may not suck. Amazons with advanced tech is always nice.

I know, it's just...16 issues of Bendis speak...
>>78303117
I still find it funny how he did skanky Harley in that just because he wanted to give readers what they wanted.
>>78303142
Imagining gettin it on with himself? Mr. X does seem like a guy who'd call out his own name in bed...
>>78303117
I don't know, El Hombre Super was cool
>>78303130
Super-durability or no, getting a bullet to the face like that cannot be fun.

These Agents of Atlas folks. I like them. They make edgelords hurt. I'm always for heroes who don't fuck around.
>>78303218

They are Jeff Parker's baby of babies, and they sadly never sold.

I don't think he was terribly opposed, judging by his other character designs.
>>78302226
>>78302255
I'm finding how MIster X is shown here to be quite entertaining honestly.
Nothing about how he's The Most Dangerous Man.
Just a crazy dude on a killing spree, and his inflated ego is played for laughs
>>78303274
Parker's good like that. And X is much more interesting with the realization that he has his neuroses--picking up on that panel from the original issues that compared him to Jean Grey, with no one to help fix his fucked-up brain.

I didn't like him as much as Batman. Felt like we didn't see enough of his life.
>>78303241
>They are Jeff Parker's baby of babies, and they sadly never sold.
Shame. They seem like a fun bunch. Kind of a modern Silver Age vibe to them.
Speaking of Silver Age shenanigans, what is with the Big Two and gorillas? Gorillas everywhere.
>>78303353
Batman was great as well.
I was more interested in Barda. Just because that whole Fourth World needed some fleshing out.
>>78303356
Gorillas are pretty cool
>>78303369
Acrobatic X is also kind of stupidly funny
>>78303356
>Due to many factors, there are many examples of gorillas appearing in comic books, particularly during the Silver Age of Comic Books.
>Before the "Silver Age", stories involving gorillas were inordinately popular in other media, most notably movies such as King Kong and Mighty Joe Young. The comic book industry attempted to cash in on this craze, and similarly increased the appearance of gorillas in their medium. This continued into the 1970s, reflecting the continued popularity of "gorilla movies" such as Planet of the Apes. In the late 1980s, the appearance of gorillas in comic books sharply declined, partly due to the decreasing depictions of them in other media, as well as the end of the Silver Age of Comics, and the backlash against "silly" plot-devices in the comic book form.

Ghost, I thought you would know enough that hardly anyone gets LSD withdrawal.
>>78303573
>>78303585
some people get horrific flashbacks, right?
>>78303560
>assault weapons ban
Oh hell. Nuke is totally one of THOSE guys, isn't he?
>>78303591
Experienced LSD user here. I've had flashbacks, but none of them have been bad at all. It's really more just like feeling a minor version of an actual trip, and it passes on its own.
That being said, if what you're taking is ACTUALLY LSD, you'll be a little moody the next day or so.
>>78303657
Nuke's really, really, completely fucked up
>>78303532
Back in the day, they were treated like more bears but more intelligent and bloodthirsty. Any mention of a gorilla getting loose was treated as worse than a murderer escaping. It's weird looking back at those movies knowing more about apes these days. Especially all the ones with cute chimps.
>>78303673
I'd be happy to try the real deal with a good tripsitter.
>>78303591
Yes, but that's not the same thing as withdrawal. Withdrawal is physical dependency on the drug, which in the case of LSD would require someone taking large doses on a regular basis for years.
>>78303684
Yeah, chimps are pretty brutal, holy shit
>>78303702
I'd offer but you don't know me, and you're probably not in Ohio. I definitely recommend the experience, regardless. It's made my life better, to be sure.
>>78303749
Yeah, I've read some about treatment for severe depression with psychoactives, that's what got me interested
>>78303684
>>78303730
yeah those stories of pet chimps ripping people's faces off are fucking terrifying
>>78303702
One of my friends told me that she did ecstasy a couple times and that it was fucking awesome, then she told me that even only doing it a couple times and a decade later she still craves it sometimes and that sounds scary
>>78303684
>chimps
>cute
Pffffft. They're about as cute as dolphins.
>>78303776
Generally speaking, I take very high quality acid about once every three months or so, and it helped me quit drinking AND made dealing with depression a MUCH easier and more productive process.
>>78303789
Some of what I've read, and I'm not sure of the reliability on this, indicates that extensive use of Ecstasy can do very bad things to dopamine and other neurotransmitter receptors, and that makes me well nervous enough
>>78303802
Dolphins really are neat to see out in the ocean, even if we know they're horrible rapists
>>78302927

>Some of what I've read, and I'm not sure of the reliability on this, indicates that extensive use of Ecstasy can do very bad things to dopamine and other neurotransmitter receptors, and that makes me well nervous enough
yeah she also said she'd heard that having sex on ecstasy can ruin all sex forever and that doing it too much fucks with dopamine receptions, so that's pretty freaky too
>>78303883
>Why are these guys more popular? I'd totally read their book.
we don't deserve nice things
>>78303867
It really is. A long time ago, the shit was openly prescribed for various conditions. There's an interesting story about the actor Cary Grant getting into it later in his life. Dude swore by the shit.
>>78303923
I actually felt bad when this happened. Can't believe I cared about fucking Headsman of all people.
>>78303923
Poor Headsman. He was just some biker dude that got into way heavy shit.
>>78303923
>>78303932
Don't know if I should blame Nuke or Woo & Uranian for this one.
>>78303949
>>78303948
Exactly, he really wasn't cut out for doing all this awful shit :(
>>78303923
>>78303932
Well... shit. Headsman wasn't even all that bad. He's pretty tame for this team. Damn.
>>78304003
SO long story short, setup for Siege and why shit's going down:
>Norman Osborn calls a meeting of the super-villain Cabal, consisting of Doctor Doom, the Hood, the Taskmaster and the Asgardian God Loki, to discuss Asgard. Asgard is the home of the Norse Gods now located floating above Broxton, Oklahoma and the last holdout in Osborn's consolidation of power. A rift develops between Doom and Osborn, creating mayhem that appears to dissolve the group. Later, under his guise of respectability, Osborn attempts in vain to secure from the President of the United States permission to invade Asgard under the claim it poses a national security threat. On Loki's advice, Osborn engineers a tragedy in which the hapless Asgardian Volstagg, manipulated into battling the super-villain team the U-Foes, inadvertently causes an explosion that kills everyone in a crowded Soldier Field football stadium in Chicago, Illinois. This gives Osborn the justification to lay siege on Asgard with military troops as well as with the Dark Avengers—his team of super-villains posing as superheroes and with loyalists planted amid the various "50-State Initiative" teams of heroes.
>>78304021
tl;dr, everyone's gonna fight at floating Asgard in Oklahoma
>>78304081
I appreciate it when event tie-ins explain shit but do it concisely
>>78304021
So what were the good parts of this story in terms of main story & tie-ins? Besides this one being pretty sweet honestly.
>>78304106
Not sure, honestly, I never read through this event systematically
>>78304021
Wait, did they seriously try to pull a Speedball with Volstagg?
>>78304124
Let's see if Wiki can help me here because fucked if I can remember details of Fraction's snooze-a-thon:
>Because Tony Stark had purposely lobotomized himself into a vegetative state, and had his power of attorney transferred over to Donald Blake, Madame Masque hired Ghost to kill Stark. She provided him a phone made by the Tinkerer, which he could use to execute his phase abilities to reach any place in the world. Ghost managed to track Stark to Broxton, Oklahoma, where he twice attempted to assassinate Stark. All the while, Stark's comrades were attempting to reboot his brain. By then, Stark had regained consciousness and used the Ghost's own phone against him, sending him to a facility in Seoul.
>>78304142
YES
>>78304106
The Initiative was pretty great.
>>78304106
I thought the Dark Wolverine stuff was pretty good, Daken is such a shit
I can't remember reading anything else, and the main event was meh though
>Hey guys, you know that place where all those super-badass gods live? LET'S INVADE IT!!!
This, is some Grade A stupid shit.
>>78304021
So, this is the exact same kind of incident that started Civil War. History repeats.
>>78304226
I am honestly a bit nervous about if Reed and Sue are even coming out of Seekrit Wars, never mind Franklin and Val
>>78304252
OH HEY LOOK WHO IT IS
>>78304285
Paladin knows what's up, even if these other fools don't
Anyone got a link to Parkerbolts?
>>78304226
>So much like the Stamford incident.
I love how Parker even points out that it's a blatant rehash.
I'll give Marvel some credit, actually. Takes balls to so brazenly repeat a plot point like that.
>>78304392
yes fight fight fight
>>78304391
He's good at making hay out of shit he has to tie into
>>78304321
DL link or thread link?
>>78304411
>You Manchurian candidate
...Seriously?
>>78304321
Download link, no, but there's a Complete Thunderbolts torrent out there, somewhere
Past storytimes might still be in the archive or desu?
>>78304504
Pffft, Eric
>>78303058
>Monica and Firestar
Fuck, O'Grady has some good taste. Well, except Carol Danvers.
>>78304461
Yea I found an active torrent on TPB, but Parkerbolts hasn't been digitally released yet?
>>78304411
>Mr. X making a perfectly valid point
..... Y'know, much as I hate to agree with him, he's not wrong. Nuke really should be benched after ventilating poor Headsman's brain.
>He's good at making hay out of shit he has to tie into
He managed to make Ghost cool. He made a B-list Iron Man villain cool. Credit where it's due.

Monsieur T @TarikSeddak @JamesDRobinson I loved Squadron Supreme ! But, after what they did to Atlantis, I don't know how you can redeem them.

James Robinson @TarikSeddak I have it all in hand, Tarik. Trust me. And thank you for reading Issue 1. By year's end you'll see me work miracles.
HMMM
>>78304562
Uhoh, Mr. X has found a new playmate
>>78304573
also, he kind of looks like Iggy Pop, there
>>78304589
hello Mighty Avengers
>>78304562
>By year's end you'll see me work miracles.
That's cute that he thinks it's going to go more than 12 issues
>>78304617
(two issues left)
>>78304632
>>78304626
do we have comichron numbers yet, or just rankings?
>>78304589
I'd like to see him full Galo Sengen.
>>78304663
the first issue is #14 on comixology right now, which is not bad but I just don't see the book being that popular
>>78304681
that is not a meme I knew!
>>78304716
Ahhhh, eat shit
(it'll get even better, next issue)
>>78304632
>>78304679
Hey ya Warden!
>tfw going to have to watch Nuke cripple him
;_;
>>78304716
Really? It was everywhere a couple years back.

>>78304751
a-at least we know he gets better!
>>78304736
More delicious humiliation for Mr. X.
>>78304797
HEY that's not nice
what should we read tomorrow?
>>78304809
GUNGNIR!
>>78304820
USAgent as always, rolls hard
>>78304820
>Stature's pose
wat
>>78304860
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK
>>78304765
>A-at least we know he gets better!
True. Not to sound like a dick, but getting crippled for a while was probably some freshly needed character development. US Agent has always been seen as a Cap clone, so Thunderbolts was good for him as a character.
>>78304899
>>78304902
IIRC, he was also reasonably interesting there in Mighty, but Warden of the Raft was really great
>>78304833
The artist didn't even try to make Cho look Asian, did he?
>>78303867
>See who Ghost hunts in Iron Man
Don't tell me, is it Iron Man?
>>78304924
Nuke is the even darker side of Cap, but I also find him somewhat pitiable in that he's always the pawn of some other force
>>78304945
Manchurian Candidate really is the most accurate description of him.
>>78304986
Ooh that looks bad
>>78304986
Crazy murderers are bad enough, but he can't not draw the line at druggies.
>>78305004
Bless his heart, he's not USAgent without that kind of moralism.
>>78305004
So he hates WWII vets too?
>>78305028
Dammit, Bob
>>78305054
:(
(hence why Walker's injuries were one-sided)
>>78305081
LAST ISSUE
I'll wait and let everyone get caught up a bit, because the main event is at hand
>>78305068
>>78305081
Poor Walker. Can't even imagine how much that hurt.
>>78305106
Alright, here we go
>>78305179
and this is a very bad thing
