Archie #5

[laughing_tree]

"There is a valid school of thought that says that good villains must have realistic, complex motivations and sympathetic (or at least comprehensible) goals. As adversaries, they must be textured. By and large, I subscribe to this theory.

"On the other hand, sometimes people are just jerks." -- Mark Waid

Off-Topic Tuesday!

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat amongst yourselves.

Superbowl 50 came and went to the more or less complete disinterest of non-Americans the world over, but we hope they had fun, and/or enjoyed the various movie trailers for Captain America Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse and Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice... which I might put into an "ON Topic  Tuesday" post later on.

Injustice: Gods Among Us - Year Five #8

In 1977, Hugo Strange came back from the dead.

[thanekos]

He masked himself like another Strange, with dark hair streaked grey.

Five years later, there was a reciprocal reference.

It was in Moon Knight #17, written by Doug Moench and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz.

It wasn't one that fit at all in the story.

( It was a jarring one. )

The New Avengers #5 - "Don't They Know It's the End of the World?"

[laughing_tree]

'The Avengers of 20XX are fantastic fun to write about, and I owe most of that to Alan Davis, who -- when asked to draw some future Avengers for the last page of the "Ultron Forever" mini -- did things like a half-fish Iron Man and a foot-high Nova. Obviously, I couldn't leave that be.' -- Al Ewing
