You just created a fantastic questions thread. This is now a random (mostly) comics questions thread. If you have a specific topic you want to try to dig deeper into you can always start a new topic.
Also welcome.
Ok awesome! Thanks
Ok so I was wondering where does Amazing Spider-man 328 take place in Peter Davids Hulk? Or does it?
Why would you say it does not take place in David's run? And are you referring to the storyline where hulk is supposedly dying?
Thanks for the reply.
I have read very little hulk and I have a few amazing spider-man issues from the time period, 328 being one of them.
Okay, so it takes place during the time when Hulk was in his Joe Fixit phase (smart and gray, not just in color but morally speaking as well), living in Vegas and taking jobs as an enforcer. This was when David retconned in Bruce Banner’s childhood abuse and the resulting Disassociative Identity Disorder.
This is because the Spider-Man issue references the events of Hulk 363.
Now my turn to ask a possibly unanswerable question!
Who is Mystique taking orders from in her first appearance in her traditional character design (Ms Marvel #18)?
By the time they publish the end of this story in Marvel Superheroes #11, Mystique's motivations for attacking Carol Danvers have changed to "prevent a prediction Destiny made that Carol will kill Rogue".
In this story from Ms Marvel #16-18 she's working with Geoffrey Ballard, a villainous government agent from Claremont's Black Goliath #4.
Ballard is shown earlier in the Ms Marvel series (#9) reporting to a character codenamed "Alpha" who belongs to a "council".
The Black Goliath plot is related to The Stranger's Null Life Bomb from Silver Surfer #5, but that plot ends up getting resolved in The Champions a few months before Ballard resurfacing in Ms. Marvel.
Dang this went deep dive nerd in a hurry.
Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. Sorry i cant return the favor and answer your question my x-men knowledge is very light.
After research on ballard, he was working as double agent for the council at the time of the story. Later stories imply that the council is probably the leaders of the hellfire club.
So I am going to go with "Lord" is Sebastian Shaw.
This is purely based on internet research.
Of course by the time they get to those belatedly published final issues of Ms Marvel in Marvel Superheroes, it doesn't make sense. Because neither Mystique nor the Hellfire Club have the same motivations as the earlier Ms. Marvel issues. I guess Claremont recycled these then unpublished introductions months later in the X-books.
As I understand it, there's an issue of Classic X-Men that makes sense of the changes from the Council to the Hellfire Club, I wonder if there's something similar for Mystique.
Thankfully we've got X-Men Legends coming this year for in-continuity conclusions to decades old plot threads. Though I don't know if they've announced what Claremont's arc is.
I know we've got "Adam X, Third Summers Brother?" from Nicieza & Booth first. And I believe issue 3 is Louise & Walt Simonson addressing "What was up with that Celestial ship Apocalypse had?"
EDIT: Oh wait, is that Eric The Red hiding at the bottom of the cover for issue #1? This may turn out to be a topical line of thinking after all!
What's x-men's legends?
They've got Chris Claremont, Louise Simonson, Larry Hama, Peter David announced as writers, with Fabian Nicieza starting the title off with issues 1-2 about his Adam X character from X-Force.
Ahh!ok that sounds really cool. Thanks
Lots of speculation about whether Agnes the Neighbour in Wandavision will be Agatha Harkness. However it could just as easily be a nod toward Agnes Moorhead from Bewitched.
So my question is this - was AGatha HarnkNESs's name also a nod to the Bewitched actress?
But the truth is probably more simple than that. Agatha is a Greek name meaning “good woman”. Harkness is one letter removed from “darkness”. Put ’em together and you have “good woman of darkness”.
Is it bad for your comics if you double them when bagged and bearded?
Really,that's interesting. Guess I have some work to do...not that I mind.
