Marvel superheroes on opposite sides of a conflict. You don't see that very often.

[arbre_rieur]

Four pages from AVENGING SPIDER-MAN 6, part one of the "Omega Effect" crossover. Not in any way whatsoever Guest-starring Darkseid.

Reed Richards wants to retrieve the Omega Drive, currently in Daredevil's possession, so he asks Spider-Man to ask Daredevil for it, knowing the two are pals.









The Punisher makes his grab for the drive, which involves lots of explosions and loud noises to overwhelm DD's senses, but they're interrupted by a fight between Hand ninjas (also after the drive) and Spidey.



After the Hand are taken care of, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the Punisher naturally do what any mature adults would do when they have goals that conflict with one another -- They calmly talk the matter over with each other.



Spider-Man asks what some people in this community did when DAREDEVIL 10.1 came out. Namely, why did Daredevil only pull the information on Black Spectre instead of all five crime cartels'?

"Oh, I like this."

I want to read a comic book that is about Daredevil liking things.

Really loving this new take on the Punisher. It's nice to have one who can integrate into the proper MU to some degree and yet still be.. Well, Frank. Also still loving the Big Boss look he's still sporting.

So, narrrative mandate aside, why is Spider-Man (an Avenger no less) committed to a four person plan when the fate of four global terrorist organisations is in the balance? Calling in a few friends to help, Ben Grimm, Luke Cage and Iron Fist if you want to keep it vaguely "street level".

And any hero with a "no kill" rule choosing to work with Punisher is always going to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Daredevil/Spider-Man/Punisher team-ups are always magnificent!

Marvel super heroes. Getting at each other throats since the 60s!

So... when and why did the Punisher take up the Big Boss look?

See, the difference between this and A vs. X is that the Punisher violently disagreeing with somebody is perfectly in-character.

And how the heck did Frank get the whole "Frankenstein" thing fixed? And pick up a partner?

[leoboiko]

Fanficing this in my head so hard right now

This art.... is beautiful.
Anime-beautiful. I've gotten so used to comic art depicting regular people to downright ugly ones that I'm surprised to see something that's both realistic but pretty-looking, like how they choose actors in Hollywood films.

Aside from that, Daredevil, Spidey and the Punisher in one comic?

After months and months, finally, something to nip by the comic book store for.

I find this story seriously lacking of Tiger-Force at the core of all things.

The part of Frank Castle will be played today by Solid Snake.

What surprised me was how well Spidey was written, considering the last time he crossed-over with Daredevil, he pretty much became the Meg of the story. I don't know if it confirms my suspicions that Waid was forced into the cross-over and just tried to work around him, or if Greg Rucka helped tip the balance (BTW--anyone else now wanting to see Rucka do a run on ASM?), but he was REALLY cool here--took out a team of ninjas, had some funny jokes ("So...I see you've started dating again."), and was actually the guy who hatched the plan.

This is...argh argh NO I DON'T LIKE WAID fine it's good and I think I'll check it out now.

Looking at Frank there with Matt, realizing how long they've known each other, suddenly Frank seemed very real. Everyone has a crazy friend like him, though hopefully not at that level. The guy who's got a conspiracy theory for everything and is very sure he's the only one you can trust.

Of course, in the MU those theories are real. But still.

Also: nice touch--Peter's one weakness, the laws of comedy. He just can't stop the wisecrack machine once it's set in motion.

Alright Marvel, you win. I'll pick this up next time I hit the shop.
