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

Disney Infinity Concept Art revealed for the now never to be seen Doctor Strange (based on Cooperman Bumblesnitch's new flick), Peter Pan, Premium Hulk and Jafar (We could have had a Jafar.... SOB)

British Euro Referendum vote is this Thursday, PLEASE vote if you are registered to do so!

Solstice at Stonehenge not as big an event as expected, apparently due to it being on a weekday, and nothng at all to do with the alcohol ban

US Senate block gun control measures - Rest of world remains baffled.

Random Podcast recommendations  - The NoSleep horror anthology podcast (wide range of horror themes and stories, all written for the series) and The Black Tapes (following and investigative journalist as she gets involved in the world of paranormal investigation. Very arc driven so you can't just dip in and out of it, but it's been quite good so far)

Darth Vader #20 - "End of Games, Part 1"

'It was fun because ended up being a really dark take on the old "Droids" cartoon. It's like, "The Adventures of Triple Zero and Bee Tee, mainly involving murder."' -- Kieron Gillen

Cataclysm #2

[history79]

"To everyone’s surprise and delight, Miles Morales, the relatively new Spider-Man in the Ultimate Universe who made headlines as the first mixed race African American Spider-Man, is going to have a baptism of fire by stepping up to the plate and being the best version of Spider-Man he’s even come close to being. He’ll be working a lot with the Ultimates and a lot of the younger heroes that we’ve introduced recently, like a very young version of Cloak and Dagger, Bombshell, Spider-Woman – all these characters will be taking center stage. But, very, very important, the Holy Trinity of Marvel – Thor, Iron Man and Captain America – and Sue Storm, the Human Torch, the Thing will be coming together to fight this as well as the return of the Ultimate X-Men, who have some very specific power sets. Even though they’ve been off kind of imprisoned in their own island of trying to deal with the harsh realities of mutanthood in the Ultimate Universe, they’ll be stepping forward; heavy hitters like Kitty Pryde and Jean Grey, who will actually be able to help stop this madness before it’s too late."

Wonder Woman Rebirth #1

[informationgeek]

"I've read everything [in "Wonder Woman"] since I left, so the goal of this is not to be "This is a continuation of Greg's run." The goal is that this is a continuation of Wonder Woman's story. Since it's cast in the light of "Rebirth," one of the things we're all working really hard at doing is reconciling some of the incredible inconsistencies that have arisen in the 75-year history of the character." - Greg Rucka

Hunger #1

[history79]

"Hunger was always the first leg of this event, and I took that opportunity to showcase just how different the Cosmic side of the Marvel Universe is. It’s something that we haven’t seen in a few years, but its been one of my favorites. What Warren Ellis did in the Galactus Trilogy, or the Gah Lak Tus Trilogy, I should say, and what was going on in the Fantastic Four were some of my favorite comics in the Ultimate Universe, so to get to play with them was great. What we’re teeing up is a very, very angry Galactus setting his sights on the planet that has caused him endless suffering in another universe."

- Joshua Hale Fialkov

Visual stories catch the eyes.

[thanekos]

Sometimes, they lead them.

There's a neat example in last month's Kings Quest #1, involving Prince Valiant.

He's on Arboria with Flash Gordon and friends because of time, fighting the men of Ming the Merciless.
