Possible trigger warning for discussion of rape

From the sequel to Jessica's solo series Alias, she's beginning to give birth to her and Luke Cage's baby. He feels that this is a good time to bring up her friend Carol Danver's last pregnancy, much to the discomfort of everyone of the room.





And I swear that I'm not posting this just because of that Todd Akin guy's moronic comments a few days ago.

Carol, this might not be the best time, but is your superhero outfit really the best thing to be wearing in a hospital?

And it just occured to be that getting mysteriously pregnant is something that she has in common with Power Girl, who pre-Crisis (I think) she was impregnanted by the universe for some reason (yeah, really). Since this was shortly after she slept with Hal Jordan, he naturally decided to act like an ass and start yelling at her for denying that it was his baby.

I wonder if Carol's powers would let her bathe herself with ultraviolet light and kill off all her surface germs. That'd mean that she could wear whatever the hell she wanted in a hospital.

"Tell him how you were pregnant, Carol,"

"Fuck you, Jess,"

Is how I could see this story going in actuality.

Shit, these write themselves, when it comes to Daredevil.

I've always wanted Emma Frost to do this nonchalantly to Jean Grey.

"Hey Jean! Remember when your mind housed that epic cosmic entity and I helped screw with it until you became so evil that that's the only thing people really remember you doing? Yeah, that was crazy weird :D"

To which she replies;

"Tell everyone about the time I put you in a mental home, Emma. :D"

Every time I'm reminded of that story -- and the fact that it somehow got past editors -- a little bit of my soul shrieks and dies clawing its metaphorical eyes out.

pregnancy? It's very very douchy, but perhaps while you are scared out of your wit and in the process of giving birth, you're not in the right state of mind to realise that making someone tell about their rape to amaze your boyfriend isn't something you do to your friend. I dunno.

Or just.... BENDISED!

Yeah, pregnancy and everything makes it understandable to ask I guess, but it's still an unbelievably stupid thing to bring up.
I'm firmly with mrstatham on this, the exchange should have ended with Carol telling her "fuck you."

The real reason may be that Bendis somehow got that story in his head and couldn't just let it go.

I really thought that Claremont (?) issue where Carol returns and tells off the Avengers for not only letting all that happen but cheering on her rapist (one of the best "Take That's" from any writer to another") would be the end of this story ever being mentioned again. Why the heck would Bendis bring it up, why at that moment, and what does it say about Jessica that she wants Carol to relive it?

I'm sure they believe the same thing too. In which universe is that right? We in Britain have Galloway over here trying to defend asylum beauty Assange with the whole, "Sex when the other partner is sleeping isn't rape."

ACTUALLY to be fair the way Jessica goes into it isn't as insensitive as it seems after Carol confesses. It seems as though, in fact, that Jess is saying "well THIS PREGNANCY HURTS LIKE HELL BUT OKAY LET'S THINK OF CAROL, THINK OF CAROL, THIS CAN'T BE AS BAD AS WHAT CAROL WENT THROUGH, BUT DAMN THAT GIRL ONLY GOT A FEW WEEKS BUT STILL, THINK OF CAROL, THIS CAN'T BE AS BAD AS CAROL'S SHIT"

Okay but then she goes on to say "I want him to hear this" so let's just ignore everything I just said and say Jess is a douchebag, with labor leeway, but still pretty high on the douchebag scale.
