Decades of elaborate trolling, armies of socks... and you finish us with dad jokes.

Well played, well played.

I dont read indie

In that case Tales from the Dark Multiverse.

And technically Max Lord in the entire Justice League run from the 90's, retroactively.

Even though it doesn't make sense because Keith Giffen actually shows us Max Lords most intimate thoughts, including his dreams, and he always was inspired by J'on and the rest to become a hero and NEVER had nefarious intentions.

Trying to follow the War of the Bounty Hunters. Don't think I can do it.

Star Wars comics have gotten REALLY bad. The 2015 stories were so much better, like when Jason Aaron was doing it.

But MrMind read Darth Vader, there's your main character who is a villain. Some are even fun to read.

So slowly making my way through Gargoyles.

As good a villain as David Xanatos is, does anyone else feel he was kind of aimless. Like, Demona was clearly a villain, MacBeth was more an anti-hero with clear goals, but Xanatos was all over the map. One episode he'd try and murder the Gargoyles, another he'd try and help them. He definitely committed villainous acts but he had no real motivations, never really attoned for past misdeeds, and thus had no real arc.

He was the bad guy until he wasn't, because.

Or Lord's telepathy is so potent that he had everyone fooled.

Dating Todd is a surefire way to get cancer, Paul.

Anyone see the V for Vendetta set up in Pennyworth?

It was all exclusively for the audience though, adventures by himself in some abandoned lair or at home in bed dreaming.

Always found it odd a GL was affected, it was established the ring constantly probes against memory alterations and keeps backups just in case set to automatically reupload.

Even olympian gods have a true form, interesting

Is Ultimate's Knights worth reading? I see it has Ultimate Shang Chi and Iron Fist.

I admired how Bendis handled the build-up to Secret Invasion in his Avengers books. IIRC, in Mighty Avengers, the characters constantly had thought bubbles showing their thoughts. In New Avengers, no thought bubbles at all. That way, he could hide Spider-Woman's reveal as a Skrull.

This is a straight-up rip-off of Marvel's period table handbook, isn't it?

It's kind of interesting to see these companies plagiarizing each other still, despite being very protective of their own intellectual properties. Marvel very clearly has a case here for copyright infringement of expression. But guidebooks don't sell that well, so the litigation costs of the pretrial alone would probably exceed whatever they'd receive in damages.
