scans_dailyLook's like Carlie decided to come back from her home planet...and with a new makeover to boot.
So once again, Carlie's Mary-Sueness is in full effect, having deduced what the cops around her couldn't figure out (especially since this isn't the first time in the Marvel universe that supervillains have killed people via dropping them from heights) and ends up looking better for it with the cops disrespecting her. Seriously, look at that cop's sneer. Poor Carlie, how could anyone hate her?
Of course, turns out Carlie has yet another new look with her only distinguishing factor in her appearance being that she has glasses.
Just a reminder, this was how Carlie looked last issue. This is becoming ridiculous now--has anyone ever thought of making a model sheet for the character to pass around to new artists for some sort of consistency? She's been around for years now and no artist has agreed on what she should look like.

Re: Sorry
Date: 2011-11-12 08:56 pm (UTC)I stand by my opinion that the context isn't the same, though.
I've made at least one joke about how I'd rather they bumped off Wolverine instead of the Scarlet Witch. (When somebody started a thread suggesting that Wolverine kill the Scarlet Witch.) But Wolverine to me is overexposed, horribly written compared to what he was like when he debuted and, consequently, boring as shit.
Again, the situations can't really be comparable because the status of male vs. female characters is so different.
Joking aside, though, I really don't like death-o-rama in superhero comics at all. It's rarely done well, it's rarely permanent, and I tend to think that writers who can't think of any other way to dispose of disliked characters aren't very good writers.
