Characters in top tier usually are not phased by bullets or really any "normal" human weapon (I guess asides of nukes), while WW has been wounded in the past by bullets. I think she might have even bled from regular sword as well, but I'm not sure about it.

I think the problem is that the image of her blocking bullets with her bracelets is iconic and writers/artists try to work it into their stories and it usually results in inconsistencies.

yeah it was a Golden Age thing when she didn't have the invulnerability.

I could see an excuse for using it nowadays to deflect ray guns and comic book sci fi goon weapons I guess?

i love how they can just slap a new super-sons series because of timey-wimey stuff.



bendis probably doesn't care, which is the best we could expect. if this was a nutjob like massagio or tamaki, they'd be whinging and ranting on social media.



*I say this as someone who grew up as a kid with Bendis's Avengers stuff, Daredevil, and whatnot. I realize he's not that good of a writer, but I have a fondness for the stuff he did.

Hell that's what I also say about liefeld and gail simone to an extent too.

I got the Thanos omnibus by Starlin from 2015-2018 and read his conclusion to the universe after his whole Infinity trilogy in the 90s. He did a couple of series in between which didn't get collected, however. This is the last Starlin Thanos (early 2000s) not collected in omnibus format. He drops halfway through the series and it takes this very bizarre turn which leads up to the Annihilation event. It's super out of print so happy hunting, completionists! Otherwise, I break it down here.

 
Robservations, the Rob Liefeld ego jerkoff podcast had briefly won me back about his role in the 90s but he's absolutely shit the bed with it lately. No show notes prepared, he gets increasing senile, forgets names and the episodes all feel like repeats as grandpa beats the dead horse some more.
"Is this a new episode? Aw fuck he's telling that story about how he went undercover at a convention again and people talked shit about him. For the 5th time."
 
So, I'm hung up over this, but; let me get this straight: The Superman that is currently in DC's comics isn't the new 52 Superman, but the Earth-1 Superman post Crisis on Infinite Earths, correct? Also, did the rebirth initiative return things to a pre-new 52 status? Because I've heard due to Convergence things have become PRE-COIE which should mean Earth-Two (not Earth-2 which is apparently an entirely different thing kill me) is back and everything should be back to what it was both pre-new 52 and also pre-COIE, kind of? I just don't get it and I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm trying to. A summary would be appreciated.
 
New52 superman died and some of his abilities transferred to others, post-crisis superman and his family survived convergence, worked in the background while n52Soop did his thing, then he stepped into the light when his cool edgy counterpart went kablooey. The trinity reformed, shit carried on. At least, this is what I've been able to piece together from the back of sugar packets.

Was there some chick who said that the Hulk was a representation of white privilege or male privilege (one of those)? Or am I mistaken?

Indeedly-doodly. Immortal Hulk #11. Jack McGee from the old TV show is turned into a black woman who, while trapped in hell with an horrific version of the Hulk, feels the time is right to berate him because he's -

Because he's white.

'Jackie' McGee is also a favourite of Joe 'The Gray Hulk' Fixit because she wrote an article about trans rights.

I didn't get as far as the Capitalism Bad storyline. I got fed up with the conceit that the Devil Hulk persona from the 90s is actually a good guy who wants to protect Bruce, and who wants to save humanity by... destroying... it...?

Back of the line, buddy.

I've been tempted by Alex Ross covers but I haven't dipped back into it. I don't trust Al Ewing not to put some monumentally stupid hot take in a character's mouth. Besides, this might seem a little rich, talking about writers you can't trust, but there's only one Hulk I want to read about at this moment in time. This one.

Dah I mean this one.

MMM, yes. growing up with a insane father who murdered his mother and slapped him around so much that it fucked up his psyche. So much privilege.

Being hunted by the US government and turning into a rage beast that he can't control. The privilege is off the charts.

Getting shot into space because you can't be dealt with any other way, and where everyone you know ends up getting blown up? Good god, Bruce is just hogging all the fucking privilege.

Meanwhile, this woman is willingly putting her life in danger by clinging onto Bruce merely for a new story. Very SMRT.
 
I kinda took her dialogue there to reference her frustration at how she lost everything to a beast she has to see on the news regularly. Her points are vapid, but when she then explains she wants to be more like him, that cements her backwards thinking. She's an avatar for a current era journo, and not a particularly good one.

I actually like the idea of a hulk created to replace a father figure, but it seemed awkwardly implemented. How was the devil hulk presented before? Continuity matters, after all.

Rob Liefeld continues to revive corny ass old shit, I'll probably give it a look however

I'm excited about this more than anything the big 2 is doing. Archie Comics used to be a Christian publisher so they had these semi-Christian themed superheroes. It's really great classic stuff and I hope they reprint the old stuff in a nice format in addition to this. Liefeld will make it fun.
