Good evening owls of /co/,
This will be less edgy than the last, I hope
>>78278023
Yay, Songbird's back!
>>78278023
so sleepy...
>>78278068
dat ass
>>78278043
this ties into a Secret Warriors plotline, but it's not an actual crossover and we don't really need to go there, thankfully
>>78278023
Hello Storyteller.
>Songbird
Oh thank goodness, Melissa's here. Finally a character who isn't a bland edgelord.
Ghost has barely been in this so far, so he doesn't count.
>>78278096
that's quite the keikaku
>>78278132
here's some good ol' topical fascism
>>78278143
that's some escalation :|
>>78278149
so how are you owls? quiet night?
>>78278167
Storytimed All-Star Section Eight.
Realize that it's Ennis doing "It's A Wonderful Life" with Sixpack as Jimmy Stewart and Superman as Clarence
>>78278167
Is "sonic tentacles" a *fans self* situation?
>>78278167
Don't know where everyone else is. Maybe they're still recovering from the SoP last night.
>>78278200
I was right, right? Only the edge of that seat?
>>78278198
>NNAAAGH!
I think I just had a trauma flashback.
>>78278218
I was more captivated by how his tattos changed with every artist
>>78278218
A mystery man!
>>78278132
I can't help but read Ghost's lines in Doug Jones' voice. There's no way he doesn't sound like Psycho Mantis.
>>78278143
>>78278149
When is fascism ever not topical? Everyone is always worried about their rights being oppressed.
Although real life rarely has such blatant strawmen like this.
>>78278218
Too right. I hope that anon that took the drinking game seriously is alright.
>>78278270
>>78278255
I think it's pretty Comics Design 101 to realize "the fancier you make it, the more it will vary by each artist/panel to panel"
>>78278273
Oh...oh NO, someone was actually doing it?
>>78278167
Based Melissa.
I'm fine. 4chan has been particularly bad today.
Though the Steven Universe hiatus is almost over, so looking forward to that.
>>78278323
I spent the day helping with the nieces
I got an amazing beer out of it, at least...
>>78278319
Oh, you didn't see it?
>>78259719
>>78278218
>I was right, right? Only the edge of that seat?
ONLY THE BLEEDING EDGE
>>78278336
Eric's kind of a fun character in that he's an awful person but he's not a psycho
>>78278363
Bless their heart. That looks like heading for a massive hangover.
>>78278393
>all this Mr. X shilling
Stoooooooooop.
>>78278336
>help kids
>get beer
The reward is the medicine, eh?
>>78278363
As somebody with low alcohol tolerance, I'm pretty sure if I did any of our SoP drinking games I'd end up in the hospital.
>>78278083
How bad was Secret Warriors? Did go from promising start to shit, or was it just shit from the start?
>>78278433
Yeah, that beer was kind of mandatory by the time I got it
>>78278443
it's kind of up and down because it's deliberately WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS twisty
I remember the Ares and Phobos stuff being good
>>78278103
O'Grady isn't that bland either, but this isn't his best writing.
>>78278504
Seekrit Warriors was all the Nick Fury vs. Osborn shenanigans, combined with "HYDRA has been gaming SHIELD from the start" retcons
>>78278517
i really miss nick fury
>>78278543
>Art Deco variant
... now I want to re-read Starman.
>>78278459
>Ma'am.
>Call me Sir.
..... I'm sure there's a reason for that, but I honestly can't be arsed to think of it.
>>78278488
O-Grady seems okay. I like how he's sort of the requisite not-actually-a-bad-guy character.
Captcha. An Osprey helicopter is not a plane.
>>78278554
always worth re-reading Starman
>>78278573
Fixer and Mach IV/V!
>>78278563
O'Grady is originally from 'Irredeemable Ant-Man', and he's a total pervert
>>78278504
>>78278517
Oh fuck me, I think I figured out what her secret identity is.
I hope I'm right, because that would possibly be the only clever thing in this run.
>>78278608
dat Songbird
>>78278573
>>78278592
Never gonna be able to look at Fixer the same way again.
I mean, dude murdered his past self and replaced him in the timeline. That is so messed up.
>>78278652
'Cleavon Twain'
that's fucking hilarious
>>78278563
>>..... I'm sure there's a reason for that, but I honestly can't be arsed to think of it.
Two possible reasons: 1. Being a woman in a male-dominated organization makes her worried about not being taken seriously, so she makes him call her "Sir" so as to make him give her the respect a male officer would get. 2. being called ma'am makes women feel old lol
This run is stupid enough that 2 may just be possible.
>>78278623
You know, as annoying and creepy as S/D was, he's got excellent taste in waifus. Delicious Melissa.
>>78278753
fetish bingo: check
>>78278687
That's his actual name? No wonder he's a supervillain, damn.
>>78278690
Reason 1 makes sense. Reason 2 is bullshit. At least in my experience. Never met a woman who was oversensitive about her age. So it's just one more stereotype that I don't get.
>>78278786
Hey, /k/, what's the knife?
>>78278786
>FAP
The motion lines do not help.
>>78278866
dating your teammates: good idea/bad idea
You know what I think?
Norman doesn't necessarily want Melissa dead because she's a threat to his new set up and all his plans.
I think he wants to kill her because he's butthurt she beat him in a straight fight.
>>78278798
Is the fact that an NY Times columnist wrote an article about how they cringe every time they get called 'ma'am' evidence this is real or evidence that columns are stupid?
>>78278948
That's a good part of it
>>78278952
B. Columns are insipid crap. They're like blogs that pretend to be informative.
>>78279048
raise your hand if you're surprised
>>78278980
>the sound tentacles have suckers and a fleshy texture
I should be thinking of how physically bullshit this is, but I can't help but think that Melissa is one seriously dirty chick.
>>78279042
Does anecdotes of real-life acquaintances being depressed over being called ma'am count as evidence?
>>78278878
Considering how much superhero fiction goes over how dating civilians is hard, not that bad an idea.

Disguising herself as her own knockoff. Actually not a terrible idea.

Nice! Generic action woman just became cool.
>>78278517
what's the point on going by the Whiskey Chaser callsign if you're just gonna say who you are anyway?
>>78279091
Maybe, but it's personal preference. I don't enjoy being girl/miss in lieu of words for adults.
>>78279166
It's also a reminder to bring back booze on your way home from the mission.
>>78279166
it's not as bad as the Age of Ultron "Nick Fury never wrote anything down!/Here's Nick Fury's detailed plans"
>>78279091
It counts as evidence of at least one person being really insecure.
>>78279116
Dating civvies shouldn't really be that much of a problem. Any supervillain who manages to last any length of time is goping to be smart enough to kn ow that messing with a hero's loved ones is flat out one of the dumbest, most suicidal things you can do.
hey thread
>>78279110
Bought this for the cover
>>78279126
Are you saying that there are more than one face for each gender? Lies!
>>78279246
get ready for some BULLSHIT
>>78279228
No, I won't forgive you.
>>78279217
Hey, maybe, stay with me now. Maybe the sameface phenomenon is actually happening in-universe.
Hair color can throw you off normally, but if everyone literally looked alike, changing one's hair would be an excellent disguise!
>>78279260
christ, this is fucking stupid
Not least because it doesn't matter if you're psychic, that would only tell you about what a person thinks they're doing, not what they're really doing, and with shootan that's not the same thing
>>78279201
I was actually thinking more along the lines of "they get really annoyed around the fifth time you cancel a date because somebody decided to build an orbiting death ray again".
>>78279296

Exactly.
>>78279397
Wait, is she going to suck the poison out?
>>78279246
it should have been explosive, and detonated right after he said that
>>78279449
knowing ghost he probably microwaved his own intestines just in case
>>78279477
That's what I was expecting. But knowing this guy,he'd probably find a way to dodge the point blank explosion...
>>78279449
Good ol' Ghost. He's not in this run much, but he still manages some quality panel time.
>>78279545

>>78279758
>>78279772
Man Osborn, I'm pretty sure Fury has seen shit that would straighten your hair right out
>>78279777
I'm sure Aaron does. He still has to tell what he told Thor.
>>78279814
And there's Phobos! Hi, you little scamp!
>>78279830
okay, THAT took me by surprise
>>78279830
Wtf
>>78279758
>>78279772
So from Fury's perspective, this was more of a rambling speech about "dirty business" and blah blah blah. Sounds about right, actually.
>>78279830
Long story short, more shenanigans ensue, and they get away, so back to our main story
>>78279847
He's got some shit to settle with his dad
>>78279830
>thought it was a remote controlled Fury clone
>actually a Fury shaped robot suit worn by Phobos
.... Okay, I must admit I didn't see that coming.
>>78279895
Secret Warriors is Weisman-style keikaku all the way down
>>78279886
At least they eventually got to chill together in Actual Heaven.
>>78279830
wait what
>>78280048
whoops?
>>78279123
He always knows where that ass is. Its his secret superpower.
>>78280118
Shouldn't Mr. X have known that?
>>78278196
I was in there after you finished. Thanks for doing that one
>>78280132
>>78280138
I think he can tell what's happening but not always the analytics of it, and he's ridiculously self-centered
>>78280132
I can only conclude that Mer Edge gets a full body skingraft every time he runs out of room for more tats, and has his previous hide tanned and hung on his wall
>>78280048
>>78280069
Who else REALLY wanted him to swing at Mr. X, but immediately realized that X's bullshit telepathy would let him dodge it and make a sandwich in the time it would take to *teleport behind him*?
>>78280163
more fapping
>>78280138
He did, he just wanted to have an excuse to kill everyone there
>>78280177
is that hercules?
>>78280163
Yeah, that's the sound effect you want to use with that pose.

It's pretty sad when you manage to be such a sickheaded edgelord that you fail to work in a Thunderbolts book.

Danny is a fucking lot smarter than Wolverine

In the military, women in command positions are traditionally addressed as "sir," which, in that context, is more a respect to a superior than a gendered term. How do you not know this?!

That and the barbarians pushing their shit in.
>>78280758

>>78280926
Same. Unless a character's race is important to their character, it doesn't really matter.
Like how the NBC Wonder Woman pilot made Veronica Cale English for some insane reason, when being a Texan is a huge part of her character.
>>78280942
>SWEET CHRISTMAS
Oh Luke.
Another good example, Luke here is pretty firmly a black character. To change that would be a pretty severe alteration of who he is.
>>78281009
I never get tired of things literally blowing up in Mr. X's face.
>>78281116
I know, right? I'd read a full issue of nothing but Mr. X getting beaten up
>>78281153
I hear that "Misty's pregnant" got resolved real weird
>>78280955
I think the idea is that people keep underestimating her because she's nice. She's genuinely affable and easygoing. Which to many people translates to being a pushover.
Odd how they indeed keep forgetting the bit about solid constructs made of sound, which is such an insult to physics that it almost looks like flipping God the bird.

>>78281323
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
This run did see some marked improvement. It wasn't great, but it got pretty decent near the end there when Songbird came back and Ghost entered the picture.
Mr. X works well as a joke character. It's fun to watch the arrogant asshole get rekt.
I'm surprised none of the characters have pointed out that Osborn stopped taking his meds a while ago
>>78281464
Pretty sure he keeps the meds in Avengers Tower.
>>78281464
Everyone in Digglebolts is too incompetent for that.
>>78281453
plus it shows how much he never actually pushed himself. He has no tactics against energy manipulators and is exponentially more useless when outnumbered. You'd think a guy like him would decide he wants to experience the death of a god, or a hulk, or an entire team dying at the same second
>>78281543
Mr. X is like merc equivalent of a guy who goes around kicking sand in peoples' faces at the beach but runs off like a pussy if there's someone bigger than him.
>>78279166
it's like putting a door on a building so that entering through the wall looks even more impressive and cool

Black Widow II would make a great Metal Gear character.

Considering he's essentially a White-Chinese guy that returns to America, where he finds out he has every known privilege under the sun, and uses them to help people, and with the help of his black friend learns how his 'White, rich privilege" effect people/those around him. Yeah, I would be pretty darn pissed, and I'm a person who could get less of a fuck about race-bending.
For Powerman and Iron Fist to work Danny needs the WASP background. He just keeps on being slandered by those who don't grasp his origin at all. He's not a tourist to K'un-Lun, he's an immigrant of K'un-Lun, who was took in at a very young age, too young to really understand his cushy lifestyle in America.

Knives are not my specialty, but that looks like a sawbacked bowie knife.
More of a hunting knife or a mall ninja knife than a fighting or throwing one, but it's big, mean looking and suitable for a big mean biker dude.
It's similar to the one used in the rambo movies.
