...Ok, I HAVE to get that issue...

[StoneGold]

I'm assuming they have the cover and pencils slots mixed up, because that cover looks like Deodato, and generally Olivetti is doing interiors.

[Mister Mets]

That's a great plot for an ish, and looks to be another fun issue.

At least Stiltman didn't die for nothing.

[ultramandingo]

"the stainless steel sultan of stretch" .......did they clone stan lee or sumthin ?

[RaggtyMan]

Stilt man was frickin' loser I really hope that they don't base a whole issue to him.

[Economist]

I don't mind the idea of a funeral for Stilt-Man, but I can't imagine Doom attending.

[StoneGold]

I don't mind the idea of a funeral for Stilt-Man, but I can't imagine Doom attending.

But you're cool with Doc Ock bringing flowers?


It's a cover gag.

[Will.S]

The Dr. Doom in a suit part of the picture is funny because that's pretty much what they did with movie Doom in the first movie.

[Sean Whitmore]

I can live with all that, but Electro wearing that big dandelion mask to a funeral?

Tres, TRES gauche.

[Nefarius]

LOL.Nice cover.Maybe i would buy this issue.

[Crimson]

Nope, Deadato is doing a fill in. I saw the pencils somewhere, it looks cool

Wow, poor Bill Forrest, when it looked like he finally had a claim to fame for something he once again gets pushed to number two.

[Sean Walsh]

I don't mind the idea of a funeral for Stilt-Man, but I can't imagine Doom attending.

He's there. A page or two of Deodato's pencils were posted a month or 2 ago somewhere.

And he's not happy either. :cool:

SEAN

Well Electro is an idiot.

[Doom Hammer]

Wow, poor Bill Forrest, when it looked like he finally had a claim to fame for something he once again gets pushed to number two.

*Ahem*

Foster.

Bill Foster.

...another proud moment for the Goliath legacy, eh?:D

[rwe1138]

Man, that must be some casket...;)

[StoneGold]

Foster would be CW's biggest victim. He had more mass, but I think he topped out at about 30 feet. Stilty could telescope way higher.

[Generic Eric]

Why must it always be the good ones that have to die.:cool: Does this meen the Punisher is going to work his way through dozens of C- list villians. Daredevil alone has dozens of lame villians to keep ol Frank busy for years. My favorite Stiltman moment was in an issue Of Daredevil where he is drawn to resemble Brian Bendis.

[John Nowak]

Man, that must be some casket...;)

Two and a half feet wide, and eighty feet long.

Or, if Tony were catering the entertainment, he could be wrapped up in a parachute, and shrink-wrapped.

[seeso]

Is that Wilbur Day in the casket? I thought Wilbur hung up his stilts and someone else is Stiltman.

[Sean Whitmore]

Is that Wilbur Day in the casket? I thought Wilbur hung up his stilts and someone else is Stiltman.

That is what happened, but I seem to recall someone here saying that it was Day who was killed.


SEAN

[rwe1138]

Is that Wilbur Day in the casket? I thought Wilbur hung up his stilts and someone else is Stiltman.

I know for a fact that Day gave up the suit in Bendis' Daredevil. I'm pretty sure it's a newbie that Frank whacked.

[seeso]

I know for a fact that Day gave up the suit in Bendis' Daredevil. I'm pretty sure it's a newbie that Frank whacked.

So if it's a newbie, why are so many villains distraught? I bet it's Marvel ignoring continuity once again and Wilbur Day is dead.

[StoneGold]

So if it's a newbie, why are so many villains distraught? I bet it's Marvel ignoring continuity once again and Wilbur Day is dead.

Either way it's not ignoring continuity. I swear, reading comprehension these days. Remember the part how Stilty said he hired someone to put together new armor? So even if he sold the old stuff, he could have rebuilt it.



Is that even worth a no-prize? No. That's just not yelling "IT'S IGNORING CONTINUITY!" at the first sign of something you don't understand.

[The Master Meglomaniac]

I know for a fact that Day gave up the suit in Bendis' Daredevil. I'm pretty sure it's a newbie that Frank whacked.

No it was Wilbur, he decided to become Stilt-Man again in order to become a hero hunter for the gov and had the Tinkerer upgrade his suit.
