Quite a few Zack Snyder fans on here, though. Watchmen, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition; all very good super-hero films. Yet to see Snyder’s Justice League, but I suspect I’ll rate it a win as well.

The trope here is that in science-fiction, after first contact, humans are quite often treated as dim-witted, inexperienced, backwater rednecks by aliens with advanced civilisations going back countless millennia. True to some extent even with Star Trek.

I can quite easily see the X-Men character, Goldballs, reaching the same heights of respect and popularity as Taserface.

Hilarious, ever since I first saw it on the shelf at my LCS back then. While I was reading Grant Morrison’s X-Men run, which introduced new members of the Weapon Plus project, such as Fantomex, with Wolverine being Weapon X / 10, of course, I discovered that Brute Force had been retconned as the earlier Weapon 2 Project, along with a genetically-modified squirrel with the same abilities as Wolverine. Which made it even more ridiculous.

Not Marvel. Save it for the DC thread.

Miles Morales’ first super-villain fight. Has potential.

Fear 19 did get hot after Howard turned up in Guardians of the Galaxy’s end credit scene.

Willie Lumpkin. Disgruntled postal worker. Has potential.

And, The Big Wheel.

Beat me to it. Would’ve been my choice. A character with a brilliant introductory story and tragic origin, with superb Frank Brunner artwork. My substitute picks would be Space Turnip and Dr Bong.

Possibly a necessary purchase after a Charles Atlas or Count Dante training course, after overdoing the Dynamic Tension or extreme martial arts.

Yup. It'd be amusing to Photoshop a polar bear and a honey badger in there instead.

Completely, utterly irrelevant, but I'll play. The reason behind it is zombie depression, compensated for by an increasing craving for brains and overeating.

So, over the past decade, has someone actually managed to solve it?

Passable look for a bowling team, not so much a super-hero.

The one from the 1960s definitely is. The one from the 90s is considered either drek or a 'dormant key'.

Zemu from Strange Tales 103 was renamed Xemu in FF 158. Co-created by Lee and Kirby

Yup. It’s quite unacceptable. You would expect the Wall St Journal to have a better standard of punctuation.

Did Lee and Kirby do a Xorn character before Grant Morrison? Learned something.

Maybe eventually they’ll be so numerous that they’ll need to be grouped together, as was done with birthday threads.

I agree, and I’ve always considered letterers to have a significant effect on the overall presentation of a comic. I’ve always preferred small, neat, precise styles such as Orzechowski’s or Rosen’s and that, for me, they work superbly with the images. EC lettering was done with Leroy calligraphy templates. The only mechanical-looking style I recall in comics.
