whoah man we got Culture fans in here?

So Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are confirmed for Avengers 2

could be a cool inclusiveness move if they track down some romani or roma-related people to cast, but I expect 'em to go with a white...

Thought the set-up/briefing pages were a bit of an uncecessary drag (other than providing Black Widow with a cool character moment) but this issue was really fun once it got going.

y'all know patrician white males usually monopolize the image of the gay struggle

the emergence of a gay black man whose status as a barrier-breaker may gain him a lotta influence is good.

Honestly the range of faces - especially female faces - Epting draws is pretty limited, so I don't try to conjecture about resemblances.

There was this one spread in F4 where Sue Storm had gone...

everything is wack

I liked this issue a lot. Probably better than any of the ones in the Starbrand arc, which I only kinda liked overall.

Lots of atmosphere.
Lots of curveballs and nicely alien surprises.

Man I would be really happy if Adam showed up.

Even if it were just like a panel of him blasting through a Builder warship or something.

Before that, I mean. He sided with Kevin once they started lumping him in with Kevin, but, before then, all he'd done was take Kevin off to try and fix him (which Cap gave him leave to do) and then...

Weaver draws a great Omega Flight, also.

I liked this, overall. But I'd like to see a bit more explanation for why they decided they needed to lock up the perfectly well-behaved Adam along with Kevin. Just because he's an unknown quantity I...

Grown Thor could be a good dark-horse candidate too.
Maybe not at volume, but nobody is his equal at stringin' women along inconclusively.

Get it, sif!

Mulan was a thing. That's a very popular film. Popular enough to be part of a cultural commons.

Jade Empire was a popular vidyagame. The Dynasty Wars games are popular.

The Kung-fu Panda...

Weaver already talked about the cover dissonance on his blog, a while back, admitting that it was a problem.

First thing he said was that his directions for the cover were just "Draw the Avengers...

I know, right?
It is super refreshing!

it's always creepy whenever some story has a 'genetically perfected' or otherwise superior or special human and they're super aryan.
which in mass media...

Truly Starbrand is Unchivalrous.

They should have let Thor squish his head with the hammer.

Many a year ago...

"I like words...and I like pictures...welp,"

skintriguing

Maybe would work better for Accessibility-to-new-readers purposes if they'd gone with soft-cover and priced it at $17 or so, but this looks pretty good.

I'd like two extra-larges, one with ham, bell peppers and onions, the other with pepperoni and sausage

no, dude.

First of all, having armed police surrounding the site would be pretty normal, if we're still going with the police-negotiators allegory.

Second of all, the Avengers are being...

Welp, there's no real reason it should.
But there's also no real reason all of these earths would be dragging all of these universes together or colliding in the first place.
The mechanics of how...

No, the equivalent would be that a team of negotiators tried several different tacts, and each of them only made the subject more unhinged, driving him further toward inflicting violence on himself...

This is probably the best meme.

Most white nerds are pretty much under the impression that the only landmasses that existed prior to 1492 were England and northern/western europe. Maybe Japan.
