cyberghostface: (Spidey & MJ)
[personal profile] cyberghostface posting in [community profile] scans_daily


Here's a storyline that ran in Stan the Man's newspaper strip at the end of last year to the beginning of this one. It's not as cracktastic as the Aunt May/Mole Man romance but it's up there, at least in the initial premise.

As a warning, expect lots of padding.









See what I mean about padding?

















Note how the colorist for the Sunday strips has no clue how Loki is supposed to look.





















































































































Next: Spidey and MJ in Asgard

No wonder Aunt May's STILL upset over Uncle Ben's death in that second strip, Peter seems to have bought her a giant portrait of his head.

...did that dude just call Thor "Curly"? Thor, of the flowing golden locks?


Huh.


Also, if Thor can't go to earth without being banished, how is he a member of the Avengers?

Whatever, newspaper Spider-man rules! WOO!

I really enjoyed that. A little bit of disbelief-straining in Thor's willingness to accept at face value everything Loki tells him, but it's all handled with such good-natured enthusiasm I can't complain. We can have more, yes?

It's long been the case that the Asgardians somehow believe that Loki is telling the truth no matter how many times he's lied to them.

I am curious how making MJ into Sif works as part of Loki's plan. I mean, he was trying to get him banished from Asgard for going to earth. That happened.

So uh. Then what?

Well, Loki's plan worked. Thor broke Odin's ban on leaving Asgard in order to save Sif, and I'm sure that Odin will see fit to punish Thor, despite Loki's trickery.

You want to know why this feels weird to me....it's that Ironman Armor looks so out of place with the old comic style the strip uses. It's feels like he should be using the the old Mark 3 or at least the one used after the silver and red days.....I know the storyline is crack but I just had to say that.

The "I'll blend in if I lose my cape an helmet!" bit is absolutely my favorite.

And really, it's NYC. He's not entirely wrong.

For whatever it might be worth, to me Thor, bareheaded and in that grid-patterned blue-black armor, resembles blogger Blockade Boy's Black Eagle (a genderswapped Black Canary; Blockade Boy's done a whole series of FtM reworkings of superheroine costumes.)

Wait. ...since when did Sif have bright red hair?

Also, I love Thor's disguise powers. "I'll just take off my hat and cape and NO ONE WILL KNOW. ...what, the hammer, armor and speech patterns? Whyever would I need to change them? I HAVE NO HAT OR CAPE, DUH."

Yeah, that's the bit that got me. At least in the MU Sif originally had golden hair, and then due to one of Loki's schemes in trying to con one of the dwarves, it was replaced by jet black hair woven from the darkness of space (or something like that)

The latest retelling I remember is that lil' Loki stole some of Sif's hair because schoolyard-stupid him was jealous of Thor. Then he felt bad over how upset she was, so he went to... someone to have a wig made that would restore her hair. Beautiful golden locks and all.

He brought it to her.

It fit like magic.

All was well!

And then it turned black and forever changed her hair.

(I may be wrong, but I think this was in the Son of Asgard mini.)

It's kind of funny seeing a very modern looking Iron Man in the middle of a strip that looks like it came from the 60's.

Oh no, Thor! You left your hat and cape behind on Earth. How will the other Asgardians, who are presumably just as face-blind as you, be able to tell it's really you, and not anyone else with golden locks?

All they have to do is ask Sara; she knows Thor when she sees him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rnTpR4M1ZI (Warning for homophobic slur.)

Oh god, the cheese!
And Peter's face when he said "thattagirl!" SO CUTE.
I love Petey here. Good husband. Sweet, understanding husband.
HUSBAND.
Who else giggled when the thug said "bling?" I imagined Stan Lee writing that down, going over the word "bling" in his head.

A lot of these didn't show up on our Sunday paper. Where'd you catch em?

Also, Thor isn't stupid because he thinks MJ is Sif. That seems to be workable. He's stupid because he took Loki's word on it. You think he'd learn.

I like how casual Loki looks when he tells Thor Sif is gone, he's all "YOUR LOVE IS GONE FOREVER' and he's just chillin' with some mead. Loki you are not even trying to sell this lie.

Then again, I guess he doesn't have to. OH THOR.

Where Step Five of every frost giant plan was "And then get out before Thor shows up and murders us all."

Even when steps one through four were

One: Bring back Odin's lawnmower.
Two: Share a mead.
Three: Quick riddle contest.
Four: Share a mead.

"Why isn't Parker getting me photos of that?"

How do you know he isn't? And furthermore, why are all your thoughts of either Spiderman or Parker?
