Way more of a Horror comic than I was expecting. Werewolves, killer clowns, a guy described as "the thin man" who paralyzes people and then sews their mouths shut, evil dolls, etc. And Jessica Drew is actually pretty interesting. Because of her pheromones, most people straight up hate and fear her on an instinctive level, and she's pretty much homeless, penniless, and friendless when the series kicks off.

Also reading the original Ms. Marvel series. Hasn't really grabbed me yet.

I started reading the first issue but then got distracted by a shiny thing or something. Seemed interesting at least.

Nah that's her current series, but it's also one of my favorite things. She's pregnant so she goes to a space hospital to have alien doctors give her a checkup. And then the Skrulls attack.

When I'm reading a comic book, I rarely pay attention to the names of the artists. But sometimes an issue in a series just looks so ****ing good that it makes all of the others look like ass. So I've gotta give Steve Leialoha props for making the art pop so much that I actually bothered to check who made it.

I don't want to put down the main artist of Spider Woman too much, 'cause he did have a lot of great panels, but he always had this super lazy way of turning her hair into an awkward spike so that he wouldn't have to actually draw it moving around. Leialoha was like "Nah dude, I don't play like that."

Guess which pic was by Leialoha (hint: his name is at the top of it

):

I'm curious what the film rights are for Spider-Woman. She's got "Spider" in her name but hasn't been associated with Spider-Man for most of her history and has a completely different origin story.

I'd say she's fair game for the MCU. Doesn't even live on the same coast as Spider Man (or at least not in her OG series). Sony ain't got shit on her.

I imagine that neither Marvel nor Sony particularly feel like including a character in their movies who's only known by nerds and who they have to explain is totally not a female Spider-Man. But if they can fit her into the Captain Marvel movie...

If Fox tries to make a She Hulk movie, 'cause she was a member of the Fantastic Four, I will kill myself.

The Batlord · 05-22-2018, 12:12 PM

At least with She-Hulk she's a very distinct character from the Hulk, and both Hulk movies bombed, so I think there's room for her to step up and become rightfully the most popular Hulk with a bombass action comedy.

Any female superhero movie made atm will be completely ruined by radical feminism, either in the making or the aftermath.. I'm calling it now.
