Ah fuck, sorry for being so late, my connection wouldn't come back for some reason and then I got distracted, so... oops.

Also, probably no commentary from me tonight because I'm tired as fuck.

>>90665234
Bump. Will get to this later, I think.

Fucking embedded file bullshit.

Mantlo's retcon of Puck was shit, but between Lee's art and the great team roster (Jeffries, Manikin, Purple Girl), I loved those Alpha Flight stories

Earlier today I was told to ask here if anyone had a torrent for classic X-Men comics? Specifically I'm looking for Giant Size to current?

I have a Mega containing all of the Great X-Men Storytime so far, but it only goes until right before Fall of the Mutants

Still, that is a lot of comics, and plenty if not most of them are written by Claremont, so they should keep you busy until I update the Mega again.

No problem, like I said, I will update the Mega in time (whenever I finish a volume here, usually), so you should have more stuff to read by the time you're done (unless you're a /very/ fast reader)

Man, this Puck design is basically My First Jim Lee Design, innit?

Like, you can already see exactly where your WildCATS and your 90s X-Men come from in it.

I like how his pouches make up the rest of the "P". And when I say "like", I mean "hate". I hate it.

Alright, that's it for tonight. Moar Alpha Flight tomorrow!

Really want Marvel to put out an omnibus of the Mantlo run now that we have the Byrne run collected in the omnibus.

Also, love old Indiana Jones Puck. Dude was ahead of his time

>>90667875
Why is Puck so...tall?

>>90673098
Puck was the Marvel version of Indiana Jones, a he-man archaeologist who all the women wanted to fuck and who all men in the 1920s and 1930s wanted to be.

Then he ran into an Arab ghost/demon who cursed him to be both immortal and a midget for the evilulz.

In Alpha Flight #50, the curse was lifted and Puck returned to his normal height and age and was banished by Loki, along with Northstar and Aurora to different places. Puck ended up in Tibet.

He eventually gets mortally wounded by the Dream Queen in Hundell's run and kidnapped by the Master, who heals Puck but also reverts him back to being a midget because Master is an asshole.

>>90673098
Mantlo had creepy body horror fetish issues and thought Puck being a midget was not sexy enough for his Cronenberg fetish. So he made Puck's dwarfism a curse and not crappy genetics.

Not gonna lie, I just skimmed todays because non-midget Puck sounds really uninteresting.

This. His retcon sucked.
