And a brief recap of the Thunderbolts. JSAnon posted the entire series (save Fightbolts) a while ago, so after being utterly clueless on Daredevil, we're back to something I'm well-read on.

Her running Parkerbolts is actually when I first found her Storytimes.

After Ellis, it practically became a tradition for new long-term Thunderbolt writers to make an entirely new team, and Parker was no exception. Most of the characters in this team were never in the Thunderbolts before.

For those of you who weren't around for the beginning, Cage was framed for drug posession by his former best friend because he thought "Carl" was turning his girlfriend against him.

Just think, if Diamondback wasn't so paranoid, we never would've gotten Luke Cage.

I like Walker's Cage, but I'll admit to that.

Saying someone writes a better Cage than Bendis isn't an achievement though. It's like saying someone writes a better Iron Fist than Andrews.

What happened was that Slott and Gage were working together on the Initiative, but then Gage took over completely. Avengers Academy was all Gage.

Just in case you forgot Karla's powers, she's a flying brick who can also turn intangible. She's ALSO a manipulative genius.

>>90178436
Not bad. Karla is able to access a variety of powers after a Kree gravity stone found on the Earth's moon was bonded to her central nervous system. Kree gravity stones are shards of a Lifestone derived from the Kree Tree of Life. Her powers include: self propelled flight, intangibility, the ability to manipulate gravity in a variety of ways like force blasts, superhuman strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, generation of miniature black holes, and transportation of objects through dimensional rifts. Also, her costume is an extension of the stone and can be altered at will.

Karla possesses an M.D. in psychology, however she also holds extensive knowledge in the area of psychoanalysis due to her time studying under Dr. Faustus. This has helped to make her an expert manipulator.

Karla also has perfect control over her voice. She can alter her pitch and modulation to varying degrees to literally drive a man crazy, as shown with what she did to Red-Hulk..

How do you feel about Parker's almost exclusive use of vertically descending wide panels for the first couple issues (shows up later in the run as well)? I thought it was stagnant at first and then the more I looked at it the more "beautiful" it became if that makes sense. There's a simplicity in it's presentation that ensure there is zero ambiguity as to where your eyes should be focusing on. Just read from top to bottom.

Yeah, he practically invented "Janet van Dyne that /co/ actually likes.

>>90179664
As much as I love complex layouts, I don't think I would feel comfortable enough to use them in my own work. I was actually kinda feeling depressing because I wasn't "good enough" to be creative but then I saw Kev Walker's pages and I was fucking floored by what he was able to accomplish with such a simple layout. He manages to both emphasize cinematic action through the wide panels, but also limits their size to ensures the image only focuses on the absolute necessary as well as allowing him to be able to cram more panels per page. The only other artists that that immediately jump out who I would say fully capitalize on simple layouts are Declan Shavley and Frank Quietely.

As far as I know, they never outright said he wasn't Inhuman, they just said that because of the impurities the effects were temporary. Something similar happened to Ms. Marvel's brother right before the world ended, so by all logic he could still go full inhuman at any time.

Suicide Squad is basically Supervillains being pressed into working as Superheroes to get time knocked off their sentence or a bit of time outdoors. And while that IS more or less how this particular run goes,
Thunderbolts in general is a slightly different beast.
