Giffen plot and breakdowns, Bill Loebs script, Bart Sears pencils.

The JLE, at this point, was 50% isolated dads. Captain Atom was reconnecting with his kids after missing two decades of their lives in his own title; Animal Man (Buddy) had just seen his wife and children killed in his; Rocket Red (Dmitri) was in Paris missing his kids in the USSR; and Metamorpho (Rex) had just learned about his child’s existence in JLE #5. This issue focuses on those four, mostly on the last three, MOSTLY mostly on the last ONE, as Rex decides to start asserting his visitation rights.

And maybe committing some visitation WRONGS. )

Giffen plot and breakdowns, Bill Loebs on script, guest penciller Art Nichols, with Bart Sears moving to inks.



Picking up right where issue #8 left off, Captain Atom and Catherine Cobert hear out Power Girl’s grim prognosis. You may as well call Kara Paradox Girl instead, because an operation is (1) her only hope and (2) impossible. ‘‘So she’s going to die, Doctor?’’ ‘‘Not if she lives! Which she won’t.’’ )

“Donny and Ryan did an amazing job because they refused to make him anything less than an epic threat, and so the only way to beat Knull is to get up on his level, so heroes are forced to grasp these big epic moments themselves, and that's great. Plus, it's rare that we get villains who are so completely evil in that very old-school way. From one angle, Knull's very 90s, in a good way - that big, bold energy that comics were running on like rocket fuel at the time - but from another, he's got that 60s villain energy in that there's no dealing with him, no humanizing him. It's time he came back and did his thing again.” — Al Ewing

Even in its earliest days, the relationship between the Ultimate Universe Ant-Man and Wasp is much more heartwarming than any previous interpretation!

No, neither Wolverine nor Storm appears inside, no matter how prominent the cover may imply them to be.

There are revelations and deaths within, but to my eye the most important detail is the introduction of an Ultimate verion of a character that the first Ultimate universe foolishly ignored:

Update: Cincinnati chili

Today I finally had sufficient time around lunchtime to try Cincinnati chili. I fixed it according to the article on "How to Eat Cincinnati Chili Like a Local" and then sat down to eat it. I didn't like the first bite. So I ate some more, hoping it would get better with further exposure. By the time I had eaten half of the serving, I gave up and decided I just didn't like it. So I disposed of it, brushed my teeth, then brushed my teeth again because I could still taste it in my mouth. I wish I liked it, because the concept sounded interesting, but I don't.

I think I might try eating "regular" chili on spaghetti, because it wasn't the "on spaghetti" part that I disliked, but in the meantime I'm over here eating peppermints one after another to try to clear the taste in my mouth. (I'm really not trying to be overly dramatic here. It's just very rare that I try something and don't like it, so I'm having trouble coping with it.)

"Scott Adams, the conservative creator of the Dilbert comic strip, has died at the age of 68.
 

Earlier this year, Adams announced that he had been approved for the drug Pluvicto to treat metastasized prostate cancer. His death was confirmed on his Rumble video site.

"But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it, and I can't seem to fix that. I am declining fast," Adams wrote earlier this month. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Adams that President Donald Trump wanted to help overcome his difficulties with an insurance company."


Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Honestly, even I weren't in a rush today, I'd likely actively avoid mentioning the news because... there's just so damn much of it

So please away you go.

I will mention that I finally got around to watching TRON: Ares and whilst the career, and apparent appeal, of Jared Leto continues to baffle me somewhat, it LOOKED absolutely gorgeous!
