I think the Sentry's power is to make Chuck Norris facts about himself come true

I just finished reading Superman Earth-One by JMS, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I know a lot of people have been down on him lately for his run on the main Superman book, and they would be down on his work on Wonder Woman if anyone cared about that character in the slightest, but this shouldn't be ignored because of those. I've always found that JMS works best in some kind of vacuum (Babylon 5, Rising Stars, etc), and that's sort of what this is. Superman's beginnings as if this is the first time it's happened, and it's happening right now.

It's mostly not even about Superman, but about a young Clark Kent who would rather find a job where he can use his unique talents to make enough money to be happy, and to take care of his Ma back in Smallville, and never have to pretend to be someone else, or let the world know he even exists as anything other than a successful man, until he is inevitably forced to take on the role of Superman. It's a great read, and I recommend it to any comic fan.

Despite how epic Onslaught is supposed to be or whatever, Captain AmericaSecret Agent Steve Rogers sure does seem to be slumming it.

I don't really care about the Rogue thing either, I was just raging about The Sentry existing outside of his mini. I actually don't give a shit about anything the X-Men do because all of their books are always terrible. It's not like Spider-Man where even when mired in shit like the OMD status quo a good story can pop up here and there, X-Men is just bad all the time. Even when it starts to look like it's getting good they inevitably shit the bed. I don't know what it is.

Astonishing has been pretty good mainly because that's the one where the writer gets to do whatever the hell he wants and everyone else can worry about shoehorning it into continuity later.

Despite how epic Onslaught is supposed to be or whatever, Captain AmericaSecret Agent Steve Rogers sure does seem to be slumming it.

You'd probably be scared of the thing that killed you too.

(He has the best face.  I'd say it should be an emote, but it doesn't work as well with the hilarious pointing finger cropped out.)

As for slumming it...well yeah actually, it's pretty much him, Beast, and a bunch of C-listers.

...you know, Eric O'Grady Ant-Man vs. Onslaught could actually be an awesome story.  But I somehow doubt that it will be.

Most of the people in that splash are from Young Allies, which got cancelled after its first arc.

I've been trying to isolate that goofy-looking face of the redhead to the left of the blonde with the gun into a 45x45 square for possible use as an emoticon, but I can't get it to look right after resizing it in Paint.net.

Oh hey, I thought that was a Jean Grey clone at first glance but now I think it's a badly deformed Black Widow.

So I guess I have to amend my statement to "him, Beast, Widow, and a bunch of C-listers".

Once you've been in a multimillion-dollar movie you're at least B-list.

EDIT: Oh, you're referring to a DIFFERENT goofy-looking redhead.  Anyway.

Took a lot of searching before I realized that girl was Nomad.  At first I thought it was Hope, in which case
Oh hey, I thought that was a Jean Grey clone

would have been fairly on the mark.  But, instead, she's the only surviving remnant of that whole Heroes Reborn thing.

I just really like what this says about how Onslaught now rates as a villain.

Ah, Parallel Universe Liefeld Bucky.  Well that makes sense given it's Onslaught and all.

At first I thought it was Hope

Yeah, me too.

Here is a link to my stated opinion on assholes who spoil the ending of a comic book before it actually arrives at my comic shop.  You prick.

Fuck you, Huffington Post Büge. And fuck everybody else who blabbed about this today without so much as a spoiler warning. Fuck you from the bottom of my heart.
