So, popcultureshock had the Return preview yanked when they revealed, who exactly is Returning. All I have to say is: Marvel has really lost their fucking mind. Thanks for cheapining another death and this one was one of the most touching realistic deaths!
A conversation between Omar and I (Chris) that turned into a bitchfest mini-podcast.
Omar69: How goes it man?
Simpson: hey man, I'm doing well how about you?
Omar69: not bad at all.
Omar69: Booster is fucking Supernova!
Simpson: thats gay
Omar69: Booster, not dead AND competent and capable!
Simpson: oh you mean he is supernova. told you
Omar69: back to being classic Booster.
Simpson: I win! 52 right?
Omar69: I knew it too. I thought so when the character first appeared.Yeah, this was in last week's book.
Omar69: and Animal Man is not dead, Go Buddy, didn't think Morrison would let him stay dead.
Omar69: Thank God. ....
Simpson: ya know what I learned in my detective class?
Simpson: never have twins, it pisses off readers
Omar69: wha? Really? do tell
Simpson: just to never have twins like where one person dies and so it rules them out as a suspect but then as it turns out he had a twin. Readers can't get that its out of left field
Simpson: but of course in today's society (these were rules that are fairly old) everyone expects the unexpected a la soup opera he was dreaming dr.strange did it or Iron Man has always been Steve Rogers
Omar69: did you see the new post on the main page? Interesting picture by Silvestri
Simpson: yeah wtf. if this is true
Simpson: I'm done reading comics
Simpson: marvel comics that is
Omar69: alright Dan..lol
Simpson: LOL
Omar69: it will be really really fucking stupid though
Simpson: except ultimate
Omar69: really fuckingstupid! really...
Simpson: reallyreallyreally
Simpson: stupid
Simpson: show me someone who thinks it’s a good idea please
Simpson: don’t say Ben
Omar69: LOL
Simpson: I hope he is better than this
Omar69: damn...read my mind.
Omar69: he is pissed about the Hood though! I as well join him in that.
Simpson: I don’t mind it
Omar69: being the new Kingpin of the Marvel Universe!
Omar69: I think its bullshit the character was hardly a bad guy.
Simpson: at least its not retconing
Omar69: now he is an all out super villain. ALA Lex Luthor
Simpson: I just think its dumb how shit they are throwing out post civil war
all Bendis is doing is retconning a character that appeared in two limited series, one being his own. Bendis! King of Retcons!
Omar69: fuck you in the eye with a rusty nail BENDIS! One of these days my ass is going to be retconned and I won't even know it.
Simpson: yeah that part is whack,because I thought he was an anti-hero for the whole damn thing
Omar69: he was...
Simpson: bitch please
Omar69: if anything he's like Deadpool
Omar69: can you imagine Deadpool being the kingpin of Marvel!?
Simpson: if someone did that to my character I’d say blow me
Simpson: seriously
Simpson: blow me
Simpson: but I really don’t give a shit because I was tired of the Kingpin and it does need a fresh face. Anyone can rise up to that level if given the right circumstances
Simpson: why is Iron Cap's feet buried
Omar69: I don't know. Silvestri is the master at drawing feet...women feet. yum!
Simpson: I don’t want to draw the feet
Omar69: Liefeld always hid his feet as well
Simpson: so we'll just have him sinking in rock
Omar69: he admit it that feet were the hardest things to draw for him
Simpson: ya know they always gave credit to Mignola for doing it first
Simpson: Liefeld and someone else said that it was Mignola who was like just put a rock in the foreground or a fog
Simpson: I love Mignola, but what kind of artist doesn’t draw ten million feet until he has it down
Simpson: that’s what I did
Simpson: my feet people don't get much praise but fuck it
Omar69: I think hands are the hardest things to draw for me
Simpson: yeah I have to be in the zone for hands
Omar69: because its really the eyes and hands that move the art.
Simpson: thats true
Simpson: but I see fucking artists with cross-eyed people I'm like wtf
Omar69: its really fucking hard to draw some hands when they aren't in action poses.
Simpson: hence
Simpson: giant fucking weapons
Omar69: giant weapons indeed.
Simpson: penis cannons, basically
Omar69: liefeld always drew staple guns
Simpson: hence
Simpson: my brother with staple in his head
Omar69: what?
Simpson: kidding
Simpson: If I wasn't getting Spawn because I left I'd sure as hell dropped it now
Omar69: how come?
Simpson: they've killed the old universe and now there is a new one for spawn starting on 166
Simpson: basically more horror based
Omar69: thats what happened to Dragon and it got confusing.
Simpson: but I had my horror-based comics and I had my spawn
Omar69: how did they kill it off?
Simpson: well Spawn was always confusing and contradictory
Simpson: they had the Apocalypse
Simpson: and Spawn got God powers and tricked God and Satan and now neither of them exists
Omar69: right, who's writing this stuff?
Simpson: Hine
Omar69: I haven't liked anything he has written
Omar69: ever. so whatever.
Omar69: I'm sure his spawn is better than it was before.
Simpson: I really liked when Medina was on the book
Simpson: semi-directionless but fuck just tell me a good story it doesn’t have to have 30 plot lines.
Simpson: some Satan worshiper kills a cat, so spawn kills them
Omar69: Alright, that's enough ranting. Go back to your English class in England! Peace!
Taken from Marvel Solicitations for April 2007:
“ULTIMATE KNIGHTS”
Ultimate Daredevil’s plan to bring down the Kingpin—permanently—kicks into gear, but Peter Parker has more immediate worries when an armed and masked vigilante bursts into Midtown High School looking for Spider-Man! Who is this man called Ronin and what does he want with our beleaguered web-spinner? Part 3 (of 5)
Ohh come the fuck on! Because we all loved Ronin in the 616 universe and because we all demanded it! Sounds like someone might be running dry on the creative juice, after the clone saga and then this. Of course, this just shows how much Bendis is a huge fucking fan of Bendis! ......ah who am I kidding I'll more than likely I will end up enjoying this story.
What's the answer to life, the universe, and everything? Maybe Erik Larsen knows, or at least can tell us one fan's opinion.
