“For all that the Illuminati is a retcon, I have to say I really like how the backstory can be used by writers now, like having Namor seek out old allies like Xavier when he�s desperate.”

I was assuming Namor was looking up a buddy from his days fighting the Ratzis, Logan. Care to bet a banana on it?

Namor = Black Adam? What?

People keep saying this, but it’s just a physical similarity. They’ve always had the same head shape with slicked back black hair and pointy ears. And Namor has been wearing a variation on this black and gold costume off and on since the early 70’s… Case in point?

Wow, another fight between Wolverine and Subby. I suppose I shouldn’t gripe; I’ve stopped reading “Wolverine” because the last several issues have been “Wolverine and Sabertooth fight, Wolverine gets some cryptic clue about his past, repeat ad nauseum.”

You’d think Wolvie would be a little more on-the-ball; last time they met, Wolverine was the wanted man on the run from SHIELD, and even after Wolvie stabbed Subby in the chest, Subby beat the snot out of him–and then went out of his way to give Wolvie the very information he was seeking in the first place. Ah, but it’s Marvel tradition for “heroes” to forget something like that and just attack each other.

And that’s sad, because it promises that next issue will waste most of its pages on a rehashed fight scene that won’t advance the story one iota.

P.S. Nice to know that bone structure gets taken into consideration when drawing Venom’s jaw. Not complaining, it’s a pretty sick look.

I laughed out loud at the “like a bullet through cheese” line. Nice one.

The glowing eyes have nothing to do with the serum. The symbiote just looks different when Mac wears it.

For coming up with your own cliches, I really like that one.

We aims to please, when not aiming for the knees… Because if your opponent can’t stand, he can’t fight!
