Storm: Raise your hand if you’ve never gone through a stage that others characterized as “mainly super villain”.
Uncanny X-Men #01
fucking scott. This panel haha oh god.
Extremis also deals with Tony’s emotional state. At the start of the first issue, just prior to Stark’s interview with Pilinger; Tony can barely look at himself in the mirror. He hates himself for who he is and what he’s done. He defends himself during his interview citing that the technology he’s created has bettered society in some way, until he is countered by Pilinger with all the harm he’s done to society. Pilinger asks Stark whether he believes that they have “painkilling drug pumps in Iraq,” or if “and Afghan kid with his arms blown off by a landline is remotely impressed by an Iron Man suit.” It’s then that Tony becomes speechless. This scene is powerful because it reveals Tony Stark’s true feelings of regret. He understands that his Stark Industries empire is built on developing weapons of mass destruction that have gone on to kill innocent lives; and he hates himself for that.
My favorite run!!
Suggestions to a new reader?
I’ve got a friend who wants to get into comics because of The Avengers. I’ve got a few books that I’ve recommended her/offered to lend her (especially Gen Hope and Young Avengers), but I’m blanking on a main-universe Iron Man title/story that’s good for new readers. I am not a fan of Fraction’s Iron Man, at all, and I know my friend that was an Iron Man expert back at Capes&Cowls recced some stuff to me but I can’t remember it for the life of me, so…
Help?
(Also what is that story that talks about Cap as an artist that came out around the time he was killed? MY BRAIN, IT IS USELESS)
still so confused about what this arc is and what is even happening
or: why I don’t read main marvel books any more because they’re too confusing
Jubilee: If this dress isn’t you, say so.
Laura: It is not me. I like… dark colors. Do you want to try this on?
Jubilee: No. But do me a favor, will you? Tell me I’m real.
Laura: You are real. Mirrors, I am told, always lie.
Jubilee: Thanks X.X-23 #11
I absolutely love Laura/Jubilee, definitely one of my favorite friendships! They’re two girls who very much understand each other and what they’re going through. Laura’s searching for her humanity and Jubilee is trying to regain hers.
And I also just really enjoyed seeing Laura forge relationships on her own in this series. Gonna miss everything about this book.
literal gross sobbing. Also I ship them a little too.

wolverine and the x-men #1 is so good
no spoilers, but a thought:
Bobby Drake being made bookkeeper is like Ezio Auditore trying to be a banker
(art is Mandra’s)
CORNELL, WHY
I bought Stormwatch in good faith. The first issue was a little crap but I was willing to forgive you because you’re a halfway decent writer, and because Apollo and Midnighter are one of my favorite couples ever. So I bought Stormwatch #2. I have no idea what’s going on but the Duo talked for a few panels so that was Okay.
BUT THEN YOU PUT TENTACLE MIND RAPE IN. UM. UH?
then I read this.
“I didn’t want it to be this way! I wanted it CONSENSUAL!”
FUCK THIS NOISE NEVER BUYING STORMWATCH AGAIN. Then I read Ultimate Spiderman, and everything was wonderfully written and Miles Morales was adorable. THE END.
