stuff and other things

Simply because it was a hulk-knockoff that looked like he walked out of the 90′s but was white. They wanted him to outsell Totally Awesome Hulk/Incredible Hulk to show diversity doesn’t sell and failed. Also, they claimed a guy whose backstory involved shady government experiments and is chased by the army wasn’t political.

Not that DeLay needed help ruining his own career seeing how he had since joining CG A0 called Gail Simone a c-word b) went on an angry rant about onf of his critics promoting one of his fans to urge people to assault that critic in her own house and then Donal refused to acknowledge or condemn that behavior for near 3 months before he could spin it to claim it never happened and c) recently talked how he thought horrifying rape scene in Watchmen was “making love” and still makes him “misty-eyed”.

Does anyone know what happened with this comic? It seemed to be popular one day and the next day disappeared.

Just for some background, I began reading this comic a while after it first came out, probably later into its 2nd volume. Each volume was essentially a standalone mini-series, but with hints of a bigger story.

Based on my understanding it seemed to be fairly popular. I met the artist and writer once at NYCC, I think at the height of its popularity, just before the 3rd volume came out. I remember they both were very enthusiastic about the series.

Cartoon Network even made a TV movie based off of it. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. But still, this proves it must have been popular, at least somewhat.

The comic series itself had a lot going for it.

The story was great and engaging with a good cast of likable characters.

It had a good amount of comedic moments,

Endearing moments as well,

And action scenes. 

It also had one of the strangest and rather confusing romances in comics.

(This was a joke in the movie).

Simultaneously with the TV movie, the 3rd volume, Holmgang was being released. 

Issue 1

Issue 2

A big cliffhanger, which had been hinted at previously through volume 2.

And the nothing, just a quiet cancellation. Even after a google search, there is very little news about this series. The only information I could find was on the Midtown Comics website, listing vol 3 #3 as “cancelled”.

There has been no other acknowledgement that it was cancelled, which is kind of sad. It was a very fun series and its  too bad this series just disappeared with little fanfare. 

I expressed hope that maybe the movie adaptation would expand the fanbase and they could try to finish the 3rd volume and he agreed, but it’s been 3 or 4 years now since that exchange and nothing’s happened so far.

Thanks! I only post a few of the dozens of messages I’ve received from Sam Alexander-centered readers, and it’s nice to know that there are so many interested in where he goes from here.

In his first ongoing, his helmet was broken for a while and he was forced to travel around trying to fix it. He didn't have any powers during this arc and went through the phase of feeling worthless without it. He cons some aliens into believing he still has powers until the Hulk can beat them up. The reason why it broke in the first place was because inverted Hulk (Kluh) was attacking where he lived and he was the only one around to keep everyone safe. That's not cocky; that's his big hero moment.

Also he has proven his ingenuity while fighting Carnage. During Axis, Carnage learned Sam is Nova and later tried to kill him. He ends up tricking Carnage into thinking he is not really Nova by having his mom wear the helmet. Only after the distraction and confusing Carnage he wins. Even in the Champions run, he's the one to resolve the trademark problem. He may have started out as a "cocky" boy but he definitely grew out of it.

The 2017 series stopped at issue #7 and, as far as I know, there aren’t any plans for a new Nova solo series.

…Dude.

Runaways #15, we meet a being that is forced to serve as Nico’s Staff of One, literally called The One. He is forced to serve that way all of Nico’s line since he was trapped in this form by her ancestor until last Minoru dies or one lets him go. Nico actually considers the latter…but the guy couldn’t wait for FIVE SECONDS with his evil gloating.

Runaways #15 on sales now. I will talk more about it in a review video but in meanwhile, I recommend supporting this great series. Seriously, go buy it, what are you waiting for?

I’m still in shock at just how well it’s been doing digitally. 

That said, the changes to the Staff of One are … interesting.  I am going to have to think it over.

Leagues Better than “Blood Magic.”

Also, it reconfirms Nico’s need for a tutor.

Who are some other Reliably Non Evil Sorcerers in the Marvel universe?

First of all:

1. What

Second of all:

DC doing this just makes me want to make EVEN MORE DICK JOKES because they are trying so hard to make us not do this that I am like “Well now I HAVE to”

Let us have our Dick, DC

If we want DIck why won’t you give us Dick?

Give us the Dick

Can any Transformer fan help me identify any of these toys? I can identify some of them, like Mirage and Twinferno.
