Ken Aldred

In the comics, his son, Nick Fury Junior, is mixed race, African American, bald, and has an eye patch. Retconned already.

As I’ve said before, I’m a huge John Byrne fan. That cover’s from a particularly weak period he had in the late 90s to early 2000s.

MJ. Byrne’s done much, much better, of course.

The covers could be even messier back then, though. Terrible cover layout and mediocre art. Far worse than EC.

Plot Magic, specifically.

Even though he's genius level, I doubt he'd be able to process and keep separate all of the information from an infinite number of universes, and, with an 'eidetic' memory, he'd possibly become quickly overloaded, shut down, or go psychotic.

I'd like to see Cow Puncher vs Hellcow. He'd be taught a lesson by her.

I've seen the comics before. Definitely of its time, as now, particularly in Europe, it would offend animal rights activists because of its endorsement of unnecessary physical violence against large, peaceful and extremely slow-witted herbivores.

The Tesseract that empowered her contains the Space Stone, which can be used to fold space and create stable wormholes.

His fists behave like Plot Gauntlets under some circumstances.

I thought that you might have enjoyed the Kneel Atoms art in the first issue, though, Kav?

Embellisher vs Eraser My favourite for Swan is George Klein.

Sinnott is widely recognised as one of the all-time great inkers. Have a happy retirement.

The comic book explanation would’ve required too much exposition, so you tend to see a brief, superficial version on screen. Quite typical.

I think it was Jim Krueger who came up with the idea that the Skrulls were originally very peaceful, but invasion and subjugation by the Kree caused them to shapeshift psychologically rather than physically into an extremely warlike mindset as a survival response. That is, as far as the Kree / Skrull conflict goes in the comics, the Kree are ultimately their own worst enemy. The victimisation of the Skrulls in the film is very poorly and naively expressed in comparison.

I can empathise. I’d been up since 2am with insomnia, went to an 11am showing, thought the introduction on Hala was okay, but fell asleep for a short while when Carol arrived on Earth; a section which did drag a bit, anyway.

PTSD induced by observing or being subjected to a violent act, personal loss, physically and psychologically overwhelming, is a common trope in comic books, both for heroes and villains.

To quote Kav, Plot Armour. Or, armor. Even he gave up on the exact science.

Unfortunately the way gaming has gone in recent years. A basic game designed to force tedious, repetitive grinding, doing the same activities over and over unless you pay for extra DLC missions, weapons or abilities, as well as the random content, loot box rip-off. Destiny and Fortnite are great examples of this type of exploitation. I’ll stick with my single player campaigns.

Relatively easy for me as I'm a JSA fan, and that was a great series.

Jakeem Thunder ?

Stray Bullets is worth trying. I thought the first series was excellent.

From the trailer I saw before Captain Marvel this week, the film does appear to be following Geoff Johns' version of the origin story which was serialised in the new 52 Justice League series, up until when he first transforms.

The only comic book that I've ever bought at a UK cinema was a Marvel Super Special 16; the magazine version of The Empire Strikes Back adaptation by Al Williamson. I got it from the Manchester Odeon, and that would've been in 1980. A US copy, as well.

Yup. That was a good one. Being completely freed from continuity, there was a tendency for many of the stories to have somewhat dark and negative conclusions.
