>tfw I lost all my Melee data and have been slowly getting all I lost back
Feels exhausting mang
>>84481468
Mental stress is always more fatiguing than physical stress.
Just try to get a full night's sleep whenever possible and you'll do better.
>>84481574
Hah, don't worry I got finally got Final Destination back so I'm gonna take a looong nap after this storytime.
>This time... it's personal!
Oh Byrne, you and your obsession with "trendy" hairdos.
>>84481538
>Deadly Ernest
I can't tell if that pun is stupid or great.
>>84481807
Stupidly great or greatly stupid?
Damned Maple syrup-swilling Cannucks!
Remember that one time the entire Alpha Flight team was killed off-panel in an Avengers book?
Those were good times.
>>84481577
>This is your..daughter? But how?
So Raymonde's gay too, right?
>>84481833
Bad puns are a classic comicbook element. So the answer is: both.
>>84481870
Yep, that seems to be where the subtext is going.
>>84481904
A wise choice.
>My fashion touchstone is Spider-Man
>>84481908
This back in the days of the comic code authority still having a ban on ... The Gay?
>>84481953
I don't think they were quite banned back then (Byrne did introduce the very lesbian Maggie Sawyer back in his Superman days), just... frowned upon, like back when comic book companies wouldn't introduce black superheroes because they feared it would damage their sales from the South.
>That's right, I spend all of my nights on 4chan!
That's some anime shit right there.
Jay-sus, Northstar.
>>84482044
Anime influence on the big two has been noticable in the last three decades.
At first it was just in the art, but if you think about some of the risks Marv' has been taking, a lot of those have been successfully done in manga and anime already.
So! What'd you guys read today?
>>84482212
New Man of Super
>>84482250
Heard that was pretty good!
>>84482212
My monthly order is still in the mail, for now I'm making due with rereading last month's.
It's a bad system, but it's what I got.
Anything you recommend I grab out of the pile first?
>>84482318
I haven't read much myself, but I did read the new Descender, that was pretty good.
>>84482371
>second panel
You know she was right about to ask about his dick.
>>84482458
SuperSkrull was always an under-rated villian.
Also a little pointless if he's not backed up by an alien invasion.
Did the Skrulls ever make a replacement for him after he died?
>>84482533
He's dead?
Now here's something we haven't seen in a while: letters!
>>84481485
>>84481493
One of my favourite Amalgam books was Generation Hex, where they turned Northstar and Aurora into cowboys, and Aurora's split personality was Cinnamon instead.
>>84482639
That sounds pretty fun.
>>84482552
A casualty of that Annihilus invasion event.
>>84481538
That Deadly Ernest joke wouldn't really work in French... did they drift into English Montreal?
>>84481553Raymonde is clearly an ex lover
>>84482684
Really? I'm pretty sure he was the Skrull Emperor now or something, right?
>>84481705
Delphine is hot,tho. Would clang.
>>84482722
Hey, I'm the one who was asking for the update.
Last I heard he had his comic-book death.
>>84482776
I think I saw him in Infinity? I dunno, it's been a while.
>>84481751
Nelvana aged poorly in Canadian obscurity. She used to look like Hedy Lamarr.
>>84482666
The main character is Jonah Hex combined with Chamber from Generation X, to create a bitter drifter with an explosion for a chest.
They fight not-Sentinels.
It was fun.
>>84482892
I'll have to remember to include the Amalgam stuff later on.
>>84482923
And I'll have to remember to boycott those.
>>84482997
Hey, what gives, anon?
>>84481908
There's a lot of Northstar subtext, up until they make him an elf. A LOT. So much that they make him an elf to cure his not identified by name AIDS.
My first exposure to Nemesis was actually the Lobdell AF vol 3, where she got retconned into being BLACKED.
>>84482029
That is some wonky anatomy in panel 3.
>>84483042
WolverBatman? CyTheRay? JubilRobin?
There's only so much vomit my body can produce.
>>84483107
Why do you hate fun, anon? Who hurt you?
>>84482078
Aurora pulling some Fly Casual posing here.
>>84483107
Hey, it's retarded, but kinda fun.And I'm not afraid to admit my 10 year old self thought Dark Claw was the coolest shit ever.
>>84483107
They can't all be as good as Spider-Boy anon.
>>84483107
But those are all inspired!
Wolverine and Batman combined in their edgy popularity and their nubile young sidekicks, Cyclops combined with Ray, both solar powered energy shootmans with tortured upbringings.
Like, at least complain about Bruce Wayne: Agent of SHIELD.
>>84483213
No way, if you can't knock down their best efforts don't even step in the ring!
Morisson have mercy! BatLogan made his millions by being an artist! WTF? What... WHO was that supposed to be from?
Ah, shit
>>84483389
>>84483410
These are some nice pages.
>>84482474
These backstory backups are a really good way of establishing a bunch of new characters without bogging down the main narrative with origin stories.
It would be a good way to conteract the decompression that just kills like every new team book nowadays.
>>84482507
So, do you think Aurora ever commiserated with Shaman about Residential School, seeing as how she went to White Residential School?
>>84483724
I remember the first backup story I ever read:
It was a Thor story in the back of a Wolverine issue my friend had shown me, I had no idea what the hell it was doing there.
I still don't, think about it: what does Thor have to do with Wolverine?
>>84483998
Was that a Wolverine issue? Or an Issue of Marvel Comics Presents, which almost always had a Wolverine story?
>>84484316
My buddy was a Wolverine fan so I'm pretty sure it was his book, the Thor story was about that lost colony, Roanoak. (?)
>>84483116
>Roger Bochs has personally bound omnibuses by Lee, Byrne, Shooter, O'Neil...
>>84483563
Back when promising to kill a character on the cover was shocking and novel.
>>84482190
God, he likes to tie things up in nice tidy packages of coincidence that would make Edgar Rice Burroughs blush.
>>84482859
Ooo! Typo!
>>84483315
Why balk at something original?
>>84483531
Is Power Pack considered important enough to the X-Men that you'll be storytiming it? They crossed over a Hell of a lot back then.
