she was iconic for this

[id: two panels of Elektra Natchios and Peter Parker from Marvel as they talk. Peter says, "You used to hang with Daredevil!" Elektra replies, "Do you usually define women by the men they were once associated with?" Peter then says, "Uh...no...But I'm having a really bad day!" Elektra who looks annoyed says, 'And you think an explosive display of immaturity will improve it?" /end id]

I'm trying to get into comics, any recommendations?

I'm a DC girl so this list is gonna be very DC heavy, sorry.

DC

All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely: The book that made me a Superman fan. Beautiful, joyful, self-contained story.

The Flash by Mark Waid: Will make you a Flash fan. Some of the first comics I ever read come from this run. The original run is collected in omnibus format but Mark had a second, shorter run from around 98-2000 that wrapped up a lot of loose ends, and another one around 2008. Those are good too.

The New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and George Perez: This book probably saved DC, and it's a wonderful read.

Batman by Scott Snyder: One of the best modern Batman runs, although it suffers from the stink of the New 52 at times.

52 by Mark Waid, Greg Rucka, Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, and Keith Giffen: Might need some onboarding for this one but it's a great read focusing on some of the second-string characters in the DCU and a triumph of collaborative storytelling. Its spinoff Booster Gold series is great too.

Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross: A surprisingly-accessible refutation of the 1990s trend towards darker and edgier superheroes, it's a must-read for the beautiful painted artwork alone.

Mister Miracle and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, both by Tom King: Tom King's had some big misses, especially Heroes in Crisis, for which as a Wally West fan I should want his blood. He makes up for it when he hits, though. These two titles are his best work.

Secret Six by Gail Simone: A great off-beat title revolving around a small group of supervillains trying to do good. Wish they'd bring this concept back tbh.

DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke: A love letter to the Silver Age of Comics with gorgeous artwork. Was later adapted into an animated film, which is also very good.

Dwayne McDuffie's original Milestone Comics (incl. Icon, Hardware, and Static), are all very good titles focusing specifically on Black heroes. McDuffie also had a great run on Justice League of America from 2007 to 2009.

Justice League International by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire: A great and hilarious book that offers a much more lighthearted take on the DC Universe. There's a lot of focus on more obscure and minor characters which I always enjoy.

Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison and Rachel Pollock: If you've seen the TV show, it cribs heavily from this. A lovely series featuring a group of misfits trying to find their way in the world.

Jack Kirby's Fourth World: Brilliant, esoteric, at times close to incomprehensible. A must-read.

The Question by Dennis O'Neil: A wonderfully cerebral and philosophical series. Denny left reading recs in every issue! See also his run on Green Lantern/Green Arrow, which is a bit outdated but still electrifyingly political for its time, and his seminal run on the Batman titles.

Marvel

Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont: One of the greatest comic book runs of all time. Largely defined the X-Men for several generations basically until the Krakoa era. Most X-Men stories on the "greatest of all time" list come from this run.

Vision by Tom King: Hey, it's Tom King again! He wrote for Marvel too. This one's a really good character piece featuring a character who often doesn't get to stand on his own.

Daredevil by Mark Waid: The best Daredevil run, hands down.

The Amazing Spider-Man by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko: The original Spider-Man run is still my favorite. Some great Silver Age nonsense combined with great character drama is what put Marvel on the map, and it's on full display here.

Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona: A really good series that's mostly self-contained about a bunch of kids who run away from home after discovering that their parents are supervillains.

Fantastic Four by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo: I sing Waid's praises a lot, but damn can he write. The best run for Marvel's First Family.

Others

Bone by Jeff Smith: An epic fantasy adventure starring three cartoon funny animal characters. My favorite comic of all time.

Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai: Another epic starring funny animals, this time set in the Edo period of Japan. Mostly episodic, so it's really easy to jump into.

Astro City by Kurt Buseik: Another love letter to the Silver Age, and to superheroes in general. Essential reading.

Miguel isn’t the only villain in across the spider-verse - it’s the fans too

On the surface, Miguel is the obvious antagonist in atsv. From the get go he demonises Miles, treats him as if he understands what’s going on and puts all the blame on him for the multiverse being in danger. His justification for this is that Miles is an anomaly - a mistake. His role as Spider-Man was not meant to happen at all and he’s simply a poor replacement whose existence has catastrophically left a universe without a Spider-Man. The key part here is that Miles is an error, a blunder, just an inferior stand-in: he’s not the original.

The meta-narrative of the spider-verse movies is wholly centred around adaptation and the different adaptations of Spider-man, and Miles himself has a poignant role in this. Unlike the majority of the other Spider-men in the society he isn’t just some other rendition of Peter Parker or a ‘what if this person got bit instead’ character. He is unique. Something new. His lack of connection to previous Spider-men allows him this fluidity and ability to write his own story. For this meta-narrative to work he has to be the protagonist. We have to see the story through his perspective so we can see Miles as his own person and separate from the stereotypical idea of what Spider-man is. Miles’s iconic line from the film “Imma do my own thing” is a perfect summary of what he represents and stands for. He may not be the ‘original’ or anything like Peter Parker but he is something truly amazing. After all, that’s what the first movie was all about: anyone can be Spider-man. But with the wide variety of different Spider-men through atsv and the trans-coding of Gwen’s character, this movie seems to be hammering this point home and is actively fighting against fans who cling onto ‘canon’ and don’t accept any kind diversion or reinvention of a source material. In this movie Miguel represents these kind of fans who desperately cling onto canon and reject things like headcanons and interpretations that threaten to be different from their own.

In atsv Gwen gets a lot more focus and we get to see another side to her, seeing her personal life. We see that on a daily basis she has to hide a part of herself from everyone around her, especially her father. Her own flesh and blood is out to get her, hunting her down and talks about arresting her to her face, and all she can do is just smile and nod. Initially, this appears as simply what every Spider-person has to go through - hiding their identity, but with Gwen it cuts a lot deeper than that. Because she isn’t just hiding her identity as a superhero but she is having to hide her personal (gender) identity. From the phrase ‘Protect Trans Kids’ painted in her room, the trans flag on her father’s uniform to the repeated use of the trans flag’s colour palette during her conversations with her father, Gwen is undeniably coded as trans.

This new approach to her character has angered some people, and that’s what the whole movie is about.

Atsv tells a cautionary tale about how restricting artistic expression and religiously sticking to canon only harms stories and writers. It prevents the creation of amazing works like itsv/atsv! Fans’ obsession with staying inside the box could have resulted in this incredibly revolutionary film - itsv - from literally being created. Atsv is throwing everything at the viewer to tell us that this is still a looming threat and that it doesn’t just stop at producers and executives, fans also have an influence, for better or for worse.

Another example of how queerness is used in this film to fight against toxic fans is the queer undertones in Miles’s arguments with his parents. Every time he’s about to reveal his identity as Spider-man it is very reminiscent of a coming out scene. His parents speak of him lying to them and hiding something, and even more poignantly, that no matter what is going on with him they will love him no matter what. Whether Miles is under the queer umbrella is not what matters here, instead it’s the impact which speaks volumes on what atsv is trying to get across. Spider-man can be queer, can be gay, can be trans (this also applies to Spider-man being a person of colour). Even if the original iteration of the character wasn’t, it has long since evolved past the rigid boundaries of canon.

In the context of fandom, this message is very important right now as queer headcanons seem to be receiving more criticism as of late. This message is integral for many to hear and to remind us all that canon is just the building blocks - not the whole structure.

So the narrative is using Miles and Miguel as placeholders to portray these two clashing point of views. To break canon and continually reinvent stories or to swath canon in a blanket and never touch it. We as the viewers are left with a choice on who to side with, to decide who we believe is right and who is wrong. But to be honest, it’s pretty clear who’s right.

#no idea if this post will reach anyone lol but i think this perspective is important #just be really pissed off seeing ppl throwing fits over Gwen being very likely trans #like ANYONE can be Spider-Man #reblogs appreciated <3 #across the spider verse spoilers #across the spiderverse #atsv #text post

Marvel's Short Stories That Redefined Superhero Comics

In the rich tapestry of Marvel Comics, there are epic sagas and sweeping crossovers that capture our imaginations and define the superhero genre. However, some of the most profound and enduring tales are found in the pages of shorter stories—narratives that span four issues or fewer. These concise yet impactful stories have left an indelible mark on readership, the comic book industry, and how we perceive superheroes. Let's explore how these short stories, including "Powerless," reshaped the world of Marvel Comics

1. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (Uncanny X-Men #141-142, 1981)

"Days of Future Past" catapulted readers into a dystopian future where mutants are hunted to near extinction. This tale of time travel and the consequences of prejudice resonated deeply. It showcased the potential for comic books to address social issues, shining a spotlight on bigotry and discrimination. Its influence can be seen in subsequent X-Men stories that continue to tackle real-world problems

2. "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" (The Amazing Spider-Man #248, 1984)

A single-issue masterpiece, this story touched the hearts of readers worldwide. It revealed the human side of superheroes, reminding us that these characters, despite their extraordinary abilities, are grounded in humanity. "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" humanized the superhero genre, emphasizing the impact these icons can have on fans

3. "Vision and the Scarlet Witch" (Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1-4, 1982)

While not strictly a short story but much shorter than "Demon in a Bottle", this series explored the personal lives of two Avengers in an intimate and relatable way. It demonstrated that superheroes are not just costumes and powers but individuals with complex emotions and relationships. "Vision and the Scarlet Witch" (not The Vision and the Scarlet Witch 12 issues series) redefined the portrayal of personal lives within the superhero genre

4. "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (The Amazing Spider-Man #121-122, 1973)

The story that started the Bronze Age! This two-issue arc forever altered the perception of superhero storytelling. The death of Gwen Stacy was a turning point, showcasing that superheroes do not always emerge victorious and unscathed. It added a layer of realism and emotional depth to Spider-Man's world

5. "The Death of Jean DeWolff" (The Spectacular Spider-Man #107-110, 1985)

A gritty murder mystery within Spider-Man's world, this story proved that superheroes can explore darker themes. It demonstrated the versatility of the genre, showing that it could tackle complex and mature subject matter

6. "God Loves, Man Kills" (Marvel Graphic Novel no. 5)

This graphic novel delved into themes of prejudice and discrimination. It elevated the X-Men beyond mere superheroics, highlighting the allegorical nature of their struggle. "God Loves, Man Kills" made it clear that comics could be a powerful platform for social commentary

7. "The Trial of Reed Richards" (Fantastic Four #262-265, 1984)

This storyline explored the legal ramifications of superhero actions. It demonstrated that superheroes are not above the law and can be held accountable for their actions. "The Trial of Reed Richards" added a layer of complexity to the superhero genre, reflecting real-world concerns

8. "Marvels" (Marvels #1-4, 1994)

This four-issue limited series takes a unique approach by exploring the lives of ordinary people in a world filled with superheroes. It delves into themes of powerlessness and how everyday individuals navigate a world where superhuman abilities are the norm. "Marvels" offers a different perspective from the eye(s) of journalist Phil Sheldon on the Marvel Universe, highlighting the challenges faced by those who can't match the extraordinary feats of superheroes

In conclusion, these short stories within the Marvel Universe have left an enduring legacy. They impacted readers by addressing real-world issues, challenged the comic book industry to embrace mature and diverse storytelling, and redefined how we perceive superheroes. These tales remind us that beneath the masks and capes, superheroes are reflections of our own humanity, and their stories can be as complex and thought-provoking as any other literary genre

Marvel's short stories have proven that superhero comics are more than just entertainment; they mirror our world and aspirations. These concise narratives have shown that profound storytelling can occur within the limited confines of a few issues. They have opened the doors for deeper exploration of characters, themes, and societal issues, and they continue to inspire creators and readers alike to push the boundaries of what superhero comics can achieve

In a genre often associated with bombastic battles and larger-than-life conflicts, these short stories are a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of comics to engage our hearts and minds. As we celebrate the impact of these narratives, we are reminded that sometimes, the most significant stories come in the smallest packages

Spider Man: Across the SpiderVerse Review

I have not felt this compelled to put my thoughts about a movie out there into the world for a while. The last time I did so was before the pandemic and a lot in my life has happened since then but I love it when I finally decide to watch something from a never-ending backlog of movies, especially for animation which is probably one of my first loves.

So I lied. It’s a review of 2 films; Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse and its recent sequel Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse. Both from Sony pictures Animation, a studio which prior to me watching these 2 films, only released disappointing to bad films in my opinion (looking at you emoji movie). I finally felt compelled to watch them recently mainly to watch Across the spiderverse in theaters.

First, I’ll make my thoughts on Into the spiderverse relatively brief. It truly is a game changer of a film for the would of animated movies. Amazing that it won an Oscar. The animation alone really pushed the boundaries of what the medium could do, and the story was well contextualized and wrapped up. I loved the nots and references to comics throughout the film. Miles’ growth throughout the first film is truly a masterclass of storytelling of a young teenager finding his place in the world and taking on new challenges in his life. In the meantime, working to develop better relations with his supportive parents and carve out his own version of Spiderman. This is probably the best use of the multiverse concept that I have seen so far in film. The animation styles between each spider hero is great at defining characteristics. I loved how they went in the direction of Spider-Gwen for this film, it makes her more bad ass for sure and more of a character than a tragic plot motive. Her scenes with Miles are also so cute (Put a pin in that we will get into that more later for the 2nd film). Mile’s relationships with the men in this film, his dad, Uncle Aaron (aka the Prowler), and Peter B Parker are great representations of mostly healthy male relationships that I feel like isn’t as well represented in media these days. Each one of them helps Miles evolve over the first film to come into his own with his powers and with his feelings and interpersonal relationships with people. Loved the involvement of Aunt May and Penni, Peter porker and Spider Noir. Wish we got to see more of them, which hopefully we will in Beyond the Spiderverse (Put a pin on that too). I also love the influence of hip hop and the urban influence of Brooklyn in this film, the sound track is fire. Honestly what are you waiting for please watch this film.

Ok time for the big kahuna; Across the Spiderverse. WOW. Just wow. Into the Spiderverse is amazing in its own right but wow was it kicked up a notch tenfold for Across the Spiderverse. Starting off easy, the animation in this film once again is PHENOMINAL. But one element that really stood out over the previous film, the use of Color Theory, especially with Gwen. Holy Cow they nailed it with expressing subtle emotions through out this film using color theory, every single frame in this film should be in the Louve, I’m deadass. I loved the introduction of Spider-India and Spider-Punk. Loved how Pavitr literally called out Miles and Gwen having a thing lol, also the use of his bracelets, similar to a type of toy, being used in his web slinging is such a fun touch. Hobie really be that surprise MVP, who was actually punk this whole time, probably is the only one Miles trusts at this point, who loves chaos and taking down the Miguel influenced spider verse society. Also, him calling Miles Peter Pan and GWENDY…fucking iconic lol. I wish we could have seen more of Peter B Parker but happy to see him embracing Dad life with his little anarchist baby Mayday, who also helps confirm that the spider powers can be genetically passed on.

Some other notes before I get to the gushing part of this whole ass review. I loved how Miles’ parents and Gwen’s Dad evolved over the course of this film. For Rio and Jeff, they had to learn not to be helicopter parents to Miles, while also coming to grips that he is becoming an adult and still worrying over their baby. The parallels between them and my parents are astounding and the conversations very similar to what I had with them growing up at that age. Also exhibited in Gwen’s Dad, him falling upon duty as a police officer when he discovers his own daughter is Spider woman, thinking she killed her buddy but then its actually his daughter, and he resorts to being an officer. She was wicked lucky Miguel and Jess were willing to allow her through the portal, which makes sense because she did not have a home to go back to. Also I really enjoyed all the easter eggs and the meta commentary on what Cannon is and the idea that a spider person has to suffer in order to be a spider person; and Miles being like FUCK That I’m not an abnormality and imma save my Dad and do me. Which comes full circle with what Rio talked to him about the world being harsh against him and to know that family will always be there and to nurture that inner child. Miguel clearly is drinking his cool aid too much on maintaining cannon but will he remain the enemy until all the spider people turn against him? Spot turning out to be the guy Miles threw a bagel at from the lab escape in the first film is wild. Also Spot over the film slowly becoming more powerful and will probably do something really bad to mess up the multiverse. Hopefully Miles and family are safe from all this. Also the fact the spider that bit Miles came from Earth-42, and Miles G Morales is the Prowler in that dimension. There better be an epic fight sequence in the beginning of the film between those three. Curious to see if Miles G will be an antagonist or not along with Aaron.

However, what ultimately really made me fall for this film is the decision narratively to make Gwen a significant part of the story and the relationship between Gwen and Miles. I can’t help it in a sucker for teen angst and pining. But let’s start off about dear Gwen. Good lord I feel terrible for her. She was put through the ringer in this movie. She is brought up to almost/Basically co main lead in this movie. We really get a much more fleshed out backstory of hers, dealing with how her Blonde Peter Parker died and dealing with hiding her identity from her father while he is unknowingly hunting her down. She, along with Miles are both struggling with hiding their secret super hero identities to their parents, main difference being Miles told his alternate dimension Mother, while at the end of the film when Gwen gets banished by Miguel back to her universe, she is forced to confront her father. The Color theory used on Gwen to convey her true feelings that she doesn’t state in the film is such a genius decision and it creates some of the most visually striking images in the film. The colors blue used to express her sadness and loneliness and the color pink, to express her happiness in her surroundings was a brilliant idea. I also loved how her Earth was just filled with water colors it’s like a painting I love it. Throughout the film, we see her struggling with dealing with her shitty home life, dealing with the cannon knowledge about Miles, feeling the need to follow the cannon timelines, believing she will die if she deviates from the timeline and her father would die as well, while trying to protect Miles but also having the desire to see him. She’s dealing with so much and is really put in a rock and a hard place, that in the process of trying to protect Miles, she unintentionally betrays him (same can be said for the other spider people Miles made friends with besides Hobie). Could she have told him the truth sooner, probably, but I think the outcome would be similar. However, after finally communicating with her Dad, taking the leap of faith if you will, like Miles, she is able to get through to her Dad and he breaks the Cannon event of himself dying on duty by quitting being a cop. This gives her the resolve, along with Spider-Punk’s wicked helpful homemade dimension watch to start looking for Miles and go from leaving a band and distancing herself from everyone around her, to getting people together who know Miles to help find him, and of course take down Miguel and Spot. What a beautiful arc for her, which I believe is not over yet, she still has some work to do to make up with Miles in the next film. But she’ll do so, she down bad for him lol.

Speaking of which, what really gave me life in this movie was the relationship between Gwen and Miles. Lord it is oozing young puppy crush love and I’m so here for it. It was clear from the 1st film Miles was into Gwen, and its only solidified further a year and change out from then. I mean stating you want to go to Princeton for Quantum Physics and dimensional travel…like boy we know why because you want to see all the spider homies again, especially the girl 15 months older than you that you draw from memory filling up almost every page of her, and adding her to your graffiti mural where you got bit. Looking at better photos of the note book he even drew her dancing like a ballerina, he drew her fresh drip, including new sweaters and chain chokers, and he drew her eating ramen like MY BOY you’re in a crush deeper than the deepest cervices of the ocean, you have it down so bad for her. Meanwhile Gwen while being sad, managed to still keep the half-buzzed hair cut from the 1st movie because Miles liked it. She’s shown to be constantly thinking about him, including the beginning drum sequence which is “Trust by Megadeath” (Look at the lyrics also btw, they honestly do foreshadow Gwen and Miles relationship as it stands at the end of the film), and throughout her universe missing him the one person she considers a friend. Also, she printed out a selfie of the two of them and looks at it every time she goes out as spider woman. That photo might as well be her social security card she treasures it so much. The only reason she is interested in joining the spider society also is to literally see him, which she doesn’t get to do until she convinces Jess enough to do an assignment in his world. And after finding out about his cannon events and getting an important assignment to go after Spot and stop him from messing up the universes, one of the most important missions to save the whole universes, and being warned to stay away from him, what does she do???? Ports straight to his bedroom, peroidt. She basically said Imma risk the universe for Miles; like im sorry that love bitch. Anyways she finds grounded Miles and he shook clearly. Gwen immediately goes in for the hug, and Miles be short circuiting, and trying to hide everything in his room. Gwen looking at all his drawings of her and very sweetly being all like “I missed you too”, only to slyly get Miles out of the house. They are so carefree swinging through Brooklyn and finally feel like they are their true selves. The sky also has a pink hue. And then when they get to the bank tower, their upside down talk is just so precious and done beautifully. Everything from Gwen being like I miss talking to you and Miles being like we the same. Miles inching ever so close to her about to Touch her hand MY BOYYYYY. Gwen going into how the Gwens fall for spider man, sees his hand inch closer, and then gives a very pained look mentioning that it doesn’t end well. Miles being the emotionally intelligent guy he is, respectfully pulls back and is all like “there’s a first time for everything” she gives him that look, you know that look of like I’m falling for you look, and purposefully LEANS INTO HIM. GIRL. She soooo into him but holds herself back due to all the bs she dealing with behind the scenes. At the rooftop party for Jeff, these two talking on the water tower, Miles almost finds out about Gwen tracking Spot, she gets briefly mad but apologizes, and then these two are so awkward teens to the point of like confessing a crush for real, and im sorry Is he looking at her lips wow. But before anything happens the parents show up. Gwen fumbles the bag by going on first name basis, and Rio is like “found a sweater, dis you?”. The parents come on to hard so I just feel second hand embarrassment for the both of them. Gwen makes an excuse to leave due to her tracking Spot you know the guy trying to destroy everything. She wanna touch Miles so bad she goes for the awkward hand shake. Damn. And of course what does Miles do later, he follows her to Spots portal hopping location and sees the exchange of Jess and Gwen, but Gwen before she leaves, looks out to the water tower, all the while Miles is invisible Upside down a la the spiderman kiss position. I cant yall. Also Gwen freaking out over Miles in Mumbatthan, and being all like “your amazing” to him after he changes the cannon event. That was so sweet. Its so painful to see how the ending of this film plays out with the betrayal. And his final sad goodbye to Gwen. She decides to talk to his parents, while using his jacket to hide her gear a la girlfriend vibes, to tell them how much he loves them and that she gonna find him. She is so determined and falling in love with him its not even funny. What really sealed the deal that these two I think will be end game, The fact that she can spidey sense he’s in danger IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION!!!!! Oh My god, this is also similar to the first film where she had that spidey sense to go to the visions academy. Like lord if that’s not love idk what is at this point. They will need to work out some feelings which I hope comes up earlier in Beyond the Spiderverse so we can get back to some wholesome moments before all chaos breaks loose and hopefully, they will be endgame, and still alive.

TLDR: I love both of these films, go watch them please and Sony pay your animators better

ITSV: 4/5

ATSV: 4.5/5

@comfortfoodcontent did it first, but here are my Top 10 Marvel Comics runs, in no particular order.

Thunderbolts 1-75 by Busiek, Bagley, Nicieza, et al. - indisputably the best, wouldn't still be reading comics without it.

Defenders vol 4 1-12 by Fraction, Dodson, McKelvie, etc. - the shortest run on this list but one of my all-time fave comics that I re-read more often than most.

Amazing Spider-Man by Lee, Romita, etc. (issues 39-122) - while the Lee/Ditko run is great and features the introductions of so many iconic villains and characters, the soap opera elements of this era, culminating in the Death of Gwen Stacy, with Romita drawing both MJ and Gwen, makes it the best to me.

Spider-Man comics from Revelations to The Final Chapter - possibly the most overlooked era, this stretch of 20+ issues each of 4 different ongoing Spidey series, from the end of the Clone Saga/Ben Reilly era to the Byrne relaunch, are the comics that were coming out when I started reading as a young lad, and will always be my favourites, especially with Wieringo and JR Jr. and Steve Skroce doing much of the art.

Ultimate Spider-Man 1-160 by Bendis, Bagley, Immonen, Lafuente, etc. - The best attempt to make Spider-Man relevant to teens again without just sticking Peter in a perpetual loser cycle.

Daredevil by Nocenti and Romita Jr. (250-282) - I don't think there's a bad DD comic between 168 and 300, but these ones are the best.

Daredevil by Waid, Rivera, Samnee, etc. (vol 3 1-36, vol 4 1-18) - After a period of time where I wasn't buying comics at all, this brought me back and got me collecting like never before.

Fantastic Four by Defalco, Ryan, etc. (356-416) - I know in my heart that there are better FF runs, but this one has Lyja Lazerfist and Psi-Lord Franklin Richards and Sue Storm's ridiculous swimsuit costume and it is my favourite.

Post-Onslaught X-Men (specifically Uncanny 341-350, X-Men 62-71) - Again, these issues are intrinsically linked to childhood memories but also the Joe Madureira and Carlos Pacheco art is amazing and the stories are fun.

Captain Marvel by Peter David, ChrisCross, etc. (volumes 4 and 5) - IDK I just love these comics. They're very fun.

An important moment in every hero's development is the moment at which they become the hero. Not the moment they gain their powers or their costume or start fighting bad guys. But the moment they become the person they need to be. The person the people relying on them needs them to be.

Iconically, Peter Parker became the hero after his Uncle Ben was shot, and he learned about responsibility. But Amazing Spider-Man 2 kicks that can down the road. For a time, he acts as a violent vigilante on a single-minded crusade for revenge. He never gets his revenge; Never gets closure that other Spider-Men get. But he puts it aside during the bridge fight with the Lizard, finding a higher calling in saving other people's lives.

Notably, the film refrains from calling him Spider-Man until that very moment.

Tony Stark built his suit to escape from terrorists, and then kept designing as a passion project. He made formative experiences with Yinsen, but he didn't truly become the hero until that fateful moment, watching the Ten Rings attack Gulmira.

Steve Rogers, by contrast, was always the hero since before we met him. His heroic spirit was willing from the start; He just didn't have the body to match.

And then there's T'Challa. T'Challa served as the Black Panther for quite some time before he became the hero. His moment came after he took that fall in his fight with Killmonger. When he confronted the ancestors and vowed to do better.

Some characters take longer than others. But Shuri? Shuri's metamorphosis lasts right up until nearly the end. She doesn't become the hero until she finally has Namor on his back. Spear to his throat. Her long-awaited vengeance inches from fulfillment.

She came this far for blood only to find herself at the last possible second. Only to find her way to T'Challa at the last possible second. "Vengeance has consumed us," she says in a deliberate parallel to T'Challa's commentary on Tony and Steve's schism.

In this moment, she becomes queen and Black Panther. In this moment she has a revelation. Wakanda and Talokan should not be fighting each other. They are two nations under threat by colonizers. They should be supporting and defending one another. The enemies they fear only benefit from their conflict.

As demonstrated by Valentina de Fontaine who's out there popping champagne over Queen Ramonda's death. The CIA subplot isn't good for much but it does drive home this point. The Americans don't even know Talokan exists and they're still celebrating the bloody Wakanda/Talokan war.

It takes a huge gesture of diplomacy for Shuri to forgive her mother's assassination. She has every right to take the pound of flesh she came for. But she has to think of Wakanda now. And so she makes a different choice.

I think Wakanda's going to be in good hands.

who’s your favorite Spider-Person 🤔

Call me cliche but it's Miles Morales!

And this is a comic book question so you get a paragraph of why...buckle up.

When he first came onto the Marvel scene in 2011 I specifically remember how he had a lot of mixed reviews. People try to bury it now, but nah. A lot of people quite frankly didn't like Miles because of his race/heritage and name branding being Spider-Man instead of something like the other variants. (Marvel stans, don't come into my inbox and argue with me about it. You will be blocked.)

But you know who did like Miles Morales? My little brother. He saw the new Spider-Man and latched onto him because they looked alike and he loved superheroes. Miles was someone he could see himself as. I'm the well known comic book reader of the family so he would come to me to find out more about the character. I bought him a collected edition of the comics with Miles and he read every issue. Spider-Man was my brother's birthday party theme. He dressed up as him for Halloween and got multiple action figures for Christmas.

Aside from Peter Parker, I never was well versed in the Spider-Man storylines (I'm more of an X-men gal), but I really like Miles. Partly because of how amazing he stands as his own character (especially in those iconic movies), but mostly because he's my brother's hero. ☺️

After a week of some real rough patches I decided to check out the first two episodes of the new X-Men '97 series and wow I am amazed!

To give some context first, by the time I was born I believe that the 90s X-Men cartoon had already finished production. But in my youth I always caught its reruns. It was probably my favorite cartoon. It was what first introduced me to the world of superheroes and also to the concept of tv shows that could be both episodic but also with an overarching plot struction throughout it (which is my favorite way of telling stories). I think its a pretty well liked show but for me it was really something special (though I also enjoyed the Spider-Man cartoon of the same era a lot)

I tend to not be a fan of nostalgia tbh for some probably flawed reasons. There's something nice about the comfort of familiar things though and I definitely felt that when I started up '97.

It took until partway into the first episode but I came to really like the art style. At first I did not quite like it but as I saw how fluidly it moved in certain scenes I was really won over. I also really liked the updates to some characters designs, like Gambit getting his iconic black and red eyes.

I am a huge Magneto fan and I really like what they're doing with him so far (outside of one aspect but I think that'd be a bit spoilery). I am also a big fan of Sunspot so I was so glad to see him in it. Jubilee is my favorite though and so far she hasn't been too relevant but I'm optimistic for the future! I also think Morph is under represented in most X-Men adaptions so I'm glad to see him.

hang, Flash is actually a Star Trek fan?

He sure is! In Amazing Spider-Man #203, boys' night out included going to see possibly the gayest of the Star Trek films (the first one!) and it's heavily implied it was Flash's idea. It was a big premiere, but it's very funny that Flash seemingly schmoozed up to an ex of his to make sure they would be able to get in.

(ASM #203, Wolfman & Pollard)

Unfortunately, this happy affair was interrupted by a fight between Dazzler and Lightmaster destroying the theatre, so it's unlikely Flash even got to see the handholding scene between Kirk and Spock. Which is a shame, because it's very moving. I think we deserved Flash pretending not to be emotionally moved by it and Harry awkwardly trying to comfort him. (Peter fell asleep during the long scene where they pan around the Extra Gorgeous Model of the Enterprise NCC-1701 for ten minutes.)

Even funnier though, is that yeeeeeeeears later during Venom: Space Knight, when Flash and his motley crew "acquire" a ship, guess what he names it?

(Venom: Space Knight #7, R. Thompson & Olivetti)

NEEEEEEEERRRD ALERRRRRRT!!! (affectionately)

Like, okay, yes, the Enterprise is one of the most famous ships in sci-fi media, but the fact that he took the effort to make sure it was spray-painted on, not to mention the symbol below it does largely resemble the pattern of the windows on the saucer section of the iconic starship.

Throughout Space Knight, though, he makes a lot of funny references to a lot of different sci-fi/fantasy properties. It's kind of incredible. Here are some of my favorites:

(Venom: Space Knight #1, 2, 3, 7, all by Thompson & Olivetti)

The first 6 issues of Space Knight really are "Flash Thompson living his space opera dreams with Venom" and then #7-13 are "okay fun's over let's get serious now". It's an absolutely phenomenal series for Flash content though and I love how peak nerd he is.

My personal HC is that he liked Voyager a lot. His favorite films are probably the II-III-IV trilogy, though, because who doesn't love those?

It is probably some kind of Hot Take™ to say that Flash might be a bigger sci-fi media/fandom nerd than Peter is but. Here we are.

Aaaaand as a special bonus, let's not forget Flash playing some kind of TTRPG with the Guardians in Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex Alpha (W: Sam Humphries, A: Ed McGuinness). I wonder how much he argued with the symbiote over their character's class? Anyways, it seems like this might have been a regular thing on the C.I.T.T. At least in my heart it was!

#asked and answered #flash thompson #venom #space knight #guardians of the galaxy #every day is flash thompson nerd appreciation day!!!!!
