I made sure to point this out when the preview pages went up, but "Disco Highway" may be the single most ridiculous and therefore best story in the entire anthology.

Dazzler has hired Misty Knight and Colleen Wing as security for her world tour. Wackiness has ensued.

This entire thing is a neverending font of icon/avatar pictures.

That look. On Colleen's face.

MODORD was the only villain that could possibly make this concept better. Well done.

I love afros. They need to make a comeback, like, right now.


The art is somewhere between amazing and confutzling.

I saw the most fantastic white-girl fro in the Paris Metro last month... oh my god it was amazing. She got out of the car in front of me and strolled on past and I just could. not. look. away. You know those slo-mo movie shots where the main character is agog at the hotness of ____ and they're just turning their head, jaw dropped, as ____ goes by? It was exactly like that. I swear to god the thing was almost as big as Misty's is, and it was perfectly spherical - it was MAGNIFICENT. Words fail.

So take heart! There are still some afros out there, and some folks are rocking them hard.

People keep wanting to stick their hands in your hair (I am looking at you, random white customer in my knit shop), to the point where I just put it a ponypuff and keep it moving.

I read this today and there was NOTHING I didn't love about this issue, from the X-Dudes, to Dazzler's Roller Disco Death Squad to Gambit and Hellcat's "Date" (I would ABSOLUTELY read a Gambit and Hellcat series- that's how adorable and funny it was)

-I wish there were more x-books like this. It's been such an amazing run.

This was basically genius. "Whatever dude, I just cut Stilt-Man's legs off!" the best rationale for anything ever.
Dazzler And Her Radical All-Girl Roller Death Squad should be an ongoing, I'd by a thousand copies.

DEATH! SQUAD!

I think that afro is eating Misty's head.
And call me cranky (OK, now I KNOW someone's gonna call me cranky), but I'm getting a little tired of Stilt-Man and Paste-Pot Pete being the official scapegoats whenever Marvel needs someone to mock. Sure, Pete will never be awesome, but he's certainly more competent than he used to be, and as for Stilt-Man, the main reason the various incarnations of him have been losers is the fact that losers keep getting cast in the role - a halfway competent person in the Stilt-Man armor could be a very effective criminal. Marvel has a zillion other criminal incompetents - why don't they mock THEM? Why don't we get people mocking, for example, Turner D. Century? Cut Pete and Stilty a break already!
And M.O.D.O.R.D is, I agree, genius.

From: [personal profile] psychopathicus_rex
I actually don't think the art style itself is all that bad, it's just one that works with that level of action. There are some styles of artwork that look amazing when they're used to depict everything-happening-at-once action sequences - and then there are styles like this, where it just looks chaotic. I could picture it working better in a somewhat more static scenario.

Huh. I like this, but I can't help but notice the whole 'the past is always sliding forward' thing Marvel has going is really feeling...odd, sometimes. I mean, Misty and Colleen are from the 70s and the only part of the 'roller skating team' joke that stands out to me is that they did that in 1996.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it still sticks out, to me.

Date: 2011-03-01 11:06 pm (UTC)
From: [personal profile] psychopathicus_rex
Yeah, I noticed that, too - especially given that they both still LOOK so '70's in the picture. Logically, of course, if you were trying to evoke a '70's atmosphere NOW, then they should have been wearing '50's or '60's styles in the picture, to keep the 'timeline' consistent. (It also would have been a better reason for the 'shall we tell her...? Naaah, let's not' moment that passed between them, since it would have meant they'd have been looking kinda dorky in the picture by hip '70's standards, and it would have been a Thing of Shame.)
There's another problem with this - it implies that the two knew each other as kids, which we know is not true. Colleen and Misty met each other as adults, so this contradicts their established history.
Really, it would have been better to have kept the date on the picture obscured, or have there be some other reason that they don't want to talk about it - like the two of them got reeeeaaaaaaally drunk one night, and when they woke up found that they'd gotten a Roller Derby cup somehow.
