Silver Surfer #44
Nov. 14th, 2024 09:03 pmiamrmanI was planning on posting Thanos Quest, but there is only so much character shilling I can take. Two prestige format books just to say how cool Thanos is? Nah, I’m out. There’s enough of that in the main series. Somebody else post them if they want.
Anyway, Thanos summons the Silver Surfer and Drax to demonstrate how awesome he is now he has the Infinity Gems.

The Cat #4
Nov. 14th, 2024 06:33 pmiamrmanThe series is cancelled with this issue. The Cat next appears in Marvel Team-Up. I may post that and the Giant-Size issue where she becomes Tigra at a later date, it depends if people are interested in seeing that.
Anyway, Greer rejects the advances of a guy in a seedy bar who turns out to be the Man-Bull.

knight_movesMorally awakened as he is, Shang-Chi still killed someone. And people aren't about to let him get away with the loathsome murder of a helpless innocent. This isn't a Harley Quinn comic, after all.

knight_movesFresh off telling his dad that it's on like Donkey Kong--because even in the seventies, you didn't just FIGHT your arch-nemesis, you had to feud for a while first--Shang-Chi goes to catch some shuteye in Central Park. Yeah, that's... that's not gonna work out for him.

knight_movesControversial is an overused term in comics fandom, usually meaning a story that everyone thinks fucking blows except for the jackass writer. The Hands of Shang-Chi, Master of Kung-Fu, is a case where I feel the term is warranted.
On the one hand, it's a genuine and deserved smash hit, created by a murderers' row of talent that resulted in an iconic work of seventies counterculture.
On the other hand, it's dated, of its time, and arguably behind the times, as antagonist Fu Manchu was becoming a subject of parody and condemnation after several cheapie Bond-wannabes produced in the previous decade (starring Christopher Lee (!) as the good doctor). These days, 'Master of Kung-Fu' is looked back on seemingly little. Heavily retconned to bring Shang-Chi up to snuff as a presentable modern character and largely dismissed when the time came to "adapt" it to the MCU, it seems destined to fall between the cracks.
So let's take a look at it, warts and all, and see what all the fuss is about, no?
