Old Man Logan was a fun read, gory as hell.

I would have burst out laughing if he said, "one last thing" and just heat visioned Kid bruce.

Damn too many good books out. Just went to my local comic shop and purchased; Superior Spiderman #32, Original sin #7, New Avengers #22, Spiderman 2099 #2, and Amazing Spiderman #5. About to sit down at a restaurant dine and read these.

Hm, I don't think this was ever posted here...

The death of Archie:

In a universe where the most pressing issue beforehand was someone spilling a milkshake on their pants, the death of the company's namesake character(via a GSW to the abdomen) was a HUGE deal.

And I couldn't believe they made ARCHIE MEETS THE PUNISHER.

Anybody check out Afterlife with Archie. DAT right there is the shit.

Thanks for posting, Galan. I read tons of Archie comics back in the day, so seeing this was pretty brutal. 👆

They're not ending the franchise though iirc- this was the end to some alternate-universe spin-off or something I think.

All of the recent "fights" Thor has been in are making me sick. It's ridiculous how disrespectful Marvel writers treat the characters.
At this point I wish that every time Thor sees a fight, hurls Mjolnir into the opposite direction and flies away. Just kidding, now he can't even lift it off the ground anymore.

Because Nick Fury snr made him unworthy.

Yes, with a whisper, which is absolutely retarded. Knowing Marvel whatever Fury whispered, will be something completely lazy and stupid.

I was actually really hoping that with the new Axis event and the change of morals of the characters, where the good ones, become bad ones... Thor would lose his worthiness of Mjolnir with him becoming bad and an evil woman from Thor's past would become good and somehow also worthy of wielding Mjolnir.
That alone would have opened so much space for interesting interaction between the two characters and might have had an impact on the mysterious woman after she loses Thor's powers.

I've read very little of Original Sin besides of what i see in this thread just hasn't really interested me, I'm more hanging out for that Axis event.

WW seems to always do really well against Kryptonians not named Kal-El

no problem. felt like it should be posted, as it was a very significant death in the comic world. 👆

unless something has recently changed, i *think* it was intended to be *the* archie who died. here are the pre and post-story pages(directly from the publishers) taken from the issue following archie's death--which was a "one year later" issue:

I love how the writer REALLY gets the characters and the lore while turning it on it's head. Like you can tell this guy knows his way around a Double Digest inside and out.

Yep, one of my favorite issues is when Vegas appeared. Just really well written.

Biblical David had the wisdom to keep his distance from Goliath.

Poor "Nature" David here, though ...

Some extraordinary motion capture photography in this scene, I must say.
If I could but convince myself that little guy made it through this ordeal alive, I'd send this memo to my friends.

So nobody knows what happened next then? How all of David's friends showed up and kicked the shit out of that spider?
