Secret Avengers 9 and Power Man/Iron Fist 83

[badficwriter]

So Shang Chi's dad is in the process of being brought back from the dead by the Black Dragon Society, but they need his son's blood. Two of the Society's agents, a Life Model Decoy of Nick Fury granted full memories and independence by the Zodiac Key named Max Fury and one John Steele, kidnap Agent 13, Sharon Carter, for leverage.

John Steele reminded me of an old supervillain I haven't seen in a long time, and I found confirmation in an off-hand reference to Steele's backstory. Steele was captured by Germans in WWI and studied by the man who created the Supersoldier serum, AND the father of the man who created the process that empowered Luke Cage.

4 pages from Secret Avengers 9 and 7 pages from the 22 page story from Power Man and Iron Fist 83 to show you this other guy. Bonus cameos of Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, as well as two of Luke's old girlfriends.

Further Fiendish Plots of Ah Ku, Princess of Crime (Part 2 of 3)

[strannik01]

In her last two appearances, Ah Ku, the fiendish Princess of Crime, smuggled illegal Chinese immigrants and kidnapped a socialite (only to... threaten her with dissection? It wasn't really clear.) What sort of evil plot does she have up her sleeve this time?

Why, opium trade, of course.

Never let it be said that Ah Ku wasn't versatile.

The following story was originally published in Top-Notch Comics #6. Writing by Harry Shorten, art by somebody who signed as "Gerry Thorp"

( Historic irony rears its head and Bob Phantom tosses lots of bizzare one-liners (6 pages under the cut) )

Will Bob Phantom ever be able to capture Ah Ku? Will Ah Ku ever pull off a plot without tipping off Bob Phantom? (Honestly, it's almost as if she wants him to stop her). Find out next time, only on SCANS_DAILY!

New Avengers 8: Jess considers a new name!

[benicio127]

Just picked this up yesterday, though it came out last week. Jess&Luke are one of my favourite couples and I could probably just read an entire comic of them talking and doing stuff. I noticed they are having a conversation I've been sort of having with myself and others after recently getting engaged...

When Lois met Lana(after the Crisis)

[thelazyreader]

Iin the Silver Age a common theme in Superman's Girlfriend: Lois Lane was her competing with Lana Lang for Superman's affections. Their first meeting in post-Crisis continuity was quite different, but in a sense it was a story that read like it would have belonged in the Silver Age.

WORLD WAR HULK #1: Illuminati revealed?

[starwolf_oakley]

AVENGERS #9 seems to be when the Illuminati are revealed to Steve Rogers and the Avengers. The odd part is that the Illuminati had already been revealed... I think.

Weird post of crack without context.

[blinkytreefrog]

I previously posted some of these at the old scans_daily, and found others on the web and collected them on my hard drive. A few might have been posted before by others, but, as I said, mostly before the group imploded, so they could do with a repost.

'Cause sometimes you just want to be entertainingly baffled.



( The hell? )

Wonder Woman punching Batman?

[ravenous_raven]

It happens, and goodness knows I've seen it a couple times here on s_d, but I ran across this page and reallly wanted to know the context (yes, I know I'm weak).
