This is all really solid casting. And I like that we're getting a little multi-ethnic, too. Idris Elba can definitely be the somber badass that is Heimdall. The guy cast as Hogun looks perfect, too. I always thought they were hinting that Hogun was Mongolian, or at the very least, one of Attila's people. I'll be curious to see who are cast for Lady Sif and Balder to round out the cast. This has...

On the Mr. Fantastic stretchiness... he can stretch his eyeballs. It's been done a few times (Waid/Weirengo comes to mind.) As well, there's an old issue... probably Byrne?... that establishes Reed doesn't need glasses because he can just change the size of his cornea and retina at will. @NextChamp, DaCampo I'm about to blow your minds. Since Zero Hour, there's technically no "god" ...

@mart It's been established... since at least Waid took over the title back in the 90s, that Barry disappeared into the speed force completely, body and consciousness, and what was left behind was an echo of Barry. There's also a few stories where it is claimed that Barry briefly flitted to the future right before his body disintegrates and then ran back as an old man to die during Crisis. De...

To answer your question, Jim, I don't think there's been an appearance of a character yet I haven't recognized in BN. ;-) Great article, glad your onboard. Hal's been my favorite superhero for... geez... 18 years now and for 10 of that he wasn't even around!

Kilowog's an odd duck in the GL world. He's often considered the "5th" Lantern because he appears so often, but he has little in the way of actual stories about HIM! A lot of people are under the impression he's been with the comics for a while, which isn't quite true. Kilowog is one of the first "Post Crisis Characters" like Booster Gold. He appeared in Green Lantern ...

I actually knew exactly what this was before I clicked the link thanks to the Issue # and Conor's front page caption. Great moment. And for clarity's sake it IS Cyclops, Angel and Beast with Iceman (really more Snow before issue 15) leaving. Remember, Bobby's supposed to be the youngest, and as we all know, Boys don't care about girls before they're 18. (If I recall the early X-Men continuity...

Can't say I disagree here. Prince is a Comic Book villain! That's awesome! Skottie Young is one of my favorite artists right now, his work is awesome. That Punisher cover is awesome, however the masthead font looks exactly like the Venture Bros. font. Haven't gotten any of my books yet, sadly. 

Why is the ground shiny? Why does Kang have a shadow and no one else? Why does the guy on the right have a pincer claw for a left hand? Why are Kang's boots up to his crotch? Why does that rock just randomly taper off? Why is that guy wearing a porkpie hat over half his head? Why is Kang easily thwarted by a map? These and other questions will NOT be answered in Avengers #8! Oh Kirby... 

@Rando I don't get it either. I'm waiting for the story where Wolverine kills a child and everyone goes "Man, that kid should've known better."

Interesting. Marvel's being a bit silly here. They're trying to keep their profit on the comic the same (That is, Marvel makes ~$2 on a $3.99 book) while reducing the permanence of the object. (How long will it be until you have to delete it?) It's a curious thing. As for "younger" people preferring digital, this is a bit nebulous. While it's true that 18-30 year olds are the most di...
