Lady it stands for whatever you want.

[kijikun]

No, Cap, I think it stands for asshole in this case.

Oh, Ultimates my love/hate for you is only surpassed by my love for Nextwave.

[richardak]

I've never read Nextwave, but my impression from this scan is that, whoever she is, she's a loud, brash, belligerent gun-nut. Am I the only one who notices the paradox in the fact that this European Union hero seems to embody the European stereotype of Americans (i.e., loud, brash, belligerent gun-nuts)>

[jlroberson]

Read Nextwave.

[espanolbot]

She's an English monster killer. She also kills things with spades.

[tacobob]

You'd be a little cranky too if your father did the things to you that he did to her.

And to think,she started off as a rather lame Buffy clone.

[barnesarama]

Have you ever met any of the British Upper Classes?

They have an enthusiasm for 'field sports' (which means hunting foxes with dogs and shooting birds with shotguns) that's positively disturbing.

Elsa's very, very much a product of that tradition.

[kirke_novak]

How dare you look me in the eyes! My boobs are down here!

I love Nextwave...

[zordboy]

... there's a letter on your chest?

[halloweenjack]

It's really more of a symbol, but... yeah.

[stretchdude]

It's easy to be distracted, I admit.

[protogarrett]

WIN.

[v_various]

But you need the first few pages for the set up, isn't a villain calling her a victim or something, and she's like "Victim? VICTIM?! Do you think this letter on my chest stands for America?!" IIRC

America?

[nefrekeptah]

...This may be in bad taste, and it probably wouldn't have the same impact, but I always thought that it would have been better if she had said,

"Do you think that this letter on my chest stands for Japan?!"

[schmevil]

Wasn't this posted recently?

Or am I just imagining things...

[mullon]

I'm pretty sure it was as a response to the teabagging scandal.

[halloweenjack]

Didn't someone on the old s_d have an icon with UltiCap with "FR" on one side of the A and "NCE" on the other?

[nagaoka]

LOL. I want to see that so badly now.

[valtyr]

Could have been Absinthe-Cap from Hypervelocity?

[darkblade]

I was half expecting the fake Civil War cover with the "Mark Millar Lick Goats" sign.

[darklorelei]

I was completely expecting it.

[kiev4am]

"If I have to beat up a lot of terrible little America proles today, I'm absolutely going to need more tea, darling."

NEXTWAVE! :D

[jlroberson]

Of course, the really funny thing is that this back-and forth is between a Scot and a Brit on one side, and a Brit and a Canadian on the other...

So it's ALL absurd stereotypes.

[jelly_ace]

Joking about France: so 18th century.

And yay! Nextwave!

[jlroberson]

Yeah, that's too easy. If you're gonna attack France, don't go after them for cowardice; go after them for their quite real history of warlike belligerence and antisemitism. And LA BELLE NOISEUSE.(I want those 4 hours back. In blood.)

[team_mummy]

i have been wanting to die ever since Nextwave stopped being made and sold at comic specialty stores.

[jlroberson]

Ellis has began apparently making comic scripts the way the rest of us shed skin cells, and yet it doesn't fill the gap.

I propose we threaten mass suicide unless they start making it again. That will show him. And Immonen. No, that's not even slightly an overreaction, whatever could you mean?
