starwolf_oakleyCould the brother/sister act Whedon wants to use in Avengers 2 *not* be Wanda and Pietro?
( Well, these two are sort of siblings )

Steve and Tony Discuss Ethics and Idealism

mrosaOK, so there was a lovely storyline during Mark Gruenwald's run of Captain America where the good Cap fought a villain called Superia, bent on destroying all men and rule the world with women in power. For that purpose she invited all the female villains of the MU to join her. Captain America, together with The Paladin, infiltrated her HQ and tried to stop her. It was a strange story:

icon_ukBoy I've been posting a LOT this weekend haven't I? And I'm not quite done yet.
August 12th is two sad anniversaries for comics fans; (Postscript - Having just heard of the passing of the legendary Joe Kubert today, that's THREE sad anniversaries for the 12th August)
( Mark and Mike RIP )
( And the meat of this post. DP7 #1 )

icon_ukIn the past, I've mentioned that the Flash's "Rogues Gallery", only really became the bunch of... if not exactly friends, then vaguely companionable allies, in a retcon when Wally became the Flash.
However, I do love the concept of criminals not all being monstrous, antisocial loners, and of course, this being comics, someone else did it earlier.
And better yet, the group I have in mind debuted in a story featuring not only Ben Grimm, the ever lovin' Thing, but one of my favourite C-list superheroes (here depicted in chibi mode by the redoubtable Katie Cook)
STINGRAY! :)

icon_ukFound this in one of my longboxes and having fond memories of the insanity it contained, thought I'd share.
"Marvel Two-In-One" (with regular star The Thing) was a sort of companion title to "Marvel Team-Up" (regular star Spider-Man) and both were sort of an answer to "The Brave and the Bold" (regular star Batman) and "DC Comics Presents" (Regular star Superman).
Take a widely known, ground level hero and add lesser known (or one not noted for solo aoppearances) hero, add plot, sit back and enjoy.
MTiO produced some excellent stories under regular writer Mark Gruenwald, notably the Project Pegasus Saga, the debut of the second Serpent Squad (Which would later grow into the Serpent Society) and others, but this a fun, done-in-one little romp, featuring a guy made of rocks, and a guy with wings, fighting armoured attackers after a night at the disco...
So from October 1980, welcome to

Captain America vs. 1990s morality
Jul. 19th, 2011 12:48 amstarwolf_oakleyMark Gruenwald was an underrated Captain America writer. He did a quick look at Cap's ways compared to the more popular heroes of the early 1990s in CAPTAIN AMERICA #401. Cap was sad over some of the Avengers executing the Supreme Intelligence at the end of Operation: Galactic Storm.
When I posted this two years ago, a debate about WWII violence vs. Crime violence/hypocrisy debate started. Was 1990 society really more violent than what Cap had known in Great Depression and World War II?

proteus_livesGreetings True Believers!
Here is another tale of Balder and Karnilla. This time Karnilla goes too far in her obsessive quest for Balder's affections.
Also, the first appearance of Balder's white hair, Loki and an amusing punishment and one Thor page gloriously out of context.
Decades before the meme, Thor already knew about the connection between his hammer and his manhood. ;)
Enjoy!

Here are some scans from Captain America #367. It's set during the Acts of Vengeance cross-over.
A cabal of super-villains have been working together but did Skull really think that Magneto had forgotten the past?

What's a dead universe look like?
May. 9th, 2010 11:17 amthanekosSomewhere in the multiverse, a Michael Korvac found out.
Before he nullified his universe, though, he'd made sure to remove every possible obstacle that could impede him; to that end, he'd cosmically exiled that universe's Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, and Phoenix.
( With that Korvac's self-inflicted death, however, the three exiles were able to return to their home reality... )

CAPTAIN AMERICA #401: Morality in Wartime
Nov. 16th, 2009 09:11 pmstarwolf_oakleyOne of my earliest posts on the original board was Steve Rogers and Tony Stark talking in a bar in CAPTAIN AMERICA #401, an epilogue to OPERATION: GALACTIC STORM. Captain America was depressed over the conclusion to O:GS, when the Nega-Bomb killed billions of Kree and some of the Avengers (led by Iron Man) decided to execute the Supreme Intelligence.
I think Mark Gruenwald was do in a little "fourth wall tapping" here.
( Steve, Clint and Tony walk into a bar... )

thanekos.insanejournal.comIt only stands to reason that a space/time jumping villain would cherrypick his Miniboss Squad (not much Quirky with these guys) from the best all the realities offer him, doesn't it?
