Thunderbolts #2, volume... who knows, at this point. So far, this series has been reading more like the Secret Avengers though, and I think that would have been a much more appropriate title.
Oh, and that cover: at first, I saw the Hellfire Club blurb, a woman in white doing the mind-reading hand-to-head gesture and assumed it was Emma Frost. Then I remembered what book it was and guessed at that being Sharon Carter. Only when I finally spotted the belt did I correctly twig is is Yelena.

Amazing Fantasy #1000

I just find myself thinking with enormous pleasure about the afternoon Jonathan Ross and I went up to Steve Ditko’s office in New York in 2007. We just walked up, knocked on the door, and he came out and chatted in the corridor for 25 minutes. He answered all of Jonathan’s questions and went in and got us a bunch of comics. I just remember him as so very, very gracious and at the same time so very private. -- Neil Gaiman

Giganta is a Big Help
Sep. 23rd, 2022 10:38 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

After those last couple of Giganta posts, our heroine finally meets up with her supposed arch-nemesis, Wonder Woman. Here then, the conclusion to the story begun in Issue 66, which I posted three and a half years ago!
As always, a long rivalry is hinted at, despite this being the first post-Flashpoint dialogue the two have shared, and that even after a Rebirth and Rucka-scrub that cleaned Diana of the Azzarello years. WHo knows what actually happened in that time?
Anywho, once again Giganta is a bona fide HERO in the following scans. Also, the artists chose to make her appear a lot younger/cuter than usual, so does this count as yet another visual alteration?

Adventureman #1
Jun. 12th, 2020 02:16 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
The long, long awaited Adventureman #1 came out this week. Adventureman is the reason that the sexy mess that is Red One was put on hiatus...in 2016
As you'd expect from a Fraction book, it is full of intense adventure and silliness balanced with heart and some honest familial communication. This extract comes from the second camp.

"The FF and the X-Men, especially right now with Krakoa, are about the family you have and the family you choose, so I’m playing with that concept a lot here." - Chip Zdarsky.

"I was a HUGE fan of FANTASTIC FOUR VS. X-MEN, the miniseries from ‘87, so I pitched this project as a spiritual sequel to that after hearing Jonatahn Hickman’s X-Men pitch at a Marvel retreat, which I didn’t understand but pretended I did." - Chip Zdarsky

"This book feels like the very first time I have really drawn a “Marvel" comic book story. This story feels like the kind of stories I remember reading from Marvel growing up – a very Marvel superhero story." - Terry Dodson
