Echoes of the Multiverse

Abandoning the newsstands (and convenience stores, candy shops, grocery stores and pharmacies) and mail-order subscriptions for an ever increasing focus on specialty comic shops, which both Marvel and DC did in the Eighties and Nineties is probably as responsible for killing the growth of new gener...

I like Gorgon's more modern drawings, more handsome look. Before that, he seemed to have the look of an evil troll (no offense to the evil trolls out there ).

At one point, didn't they give Gorgon a green glowing mace?

It's a shame that the writers over at Marvel managed to mess up Crystal so badly that she is practically unusable in modern stories. Think about it, she's one of the first (certainly the first significant) Elementalists in modern comic books. That's an awesome power set, one of the best you can giv...

The idea that Lockjaw is a (in)human being with full agency, but has been treated like a dog by nearly every hero in the universe is rather stupid and kinda offensive. The idea that it was a prank by a group of heroes played on their ally when he was distraught over his daughter, essentially, havin...

Is Black Bolt's antenna fork on his head or his costume?

Lockjaw also has an antenna on his doggie forehead. Coincidence?

It’s good to be the king.

Spoiler

Yes it is!

I don’t leer. I admire.

The official explanation for Crystal shooting lightning is that the aerokinesis (air control) aspect of her elemental control is precise enough that she can actually alter the electrical charge of air molecules. Similarily, her terrakinesis (earth control) also operates at the atomic level, letting...

[ What about Crystal's weather control? Her ability to cast lightning bolts? Her "elemental blast" (different than her earth blast)? Weather control is under “Environment”, kind of. I didn’t know she could use Lightning- that could just be “Variable” on her blasts. Crystal can actively co...

She’s not a bad character- just a bad PERSON: Crystal Takedown: https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2021/01/crystal-is-the-worst-person-in-t...

Marvel’s mistake is that in their early days they created something like four “kind-of-human-but-not-really” groups within humanity as a source of super powers: Mutants, Inhumans, Atlantians, and Eternals. Plus, seemingly every ancient pantheon was revealed to be “Ancient Astronauts” style space al...

Lol. Well, I do love the Heralds and want to definitely see them next....but now yes please, give us the Inhumans!

Storm has had a tremendous amount of Power Creep over the decades, Crystal has had the opposite and seems to have been gradually de-powered... But “Popularity Power” is the real currency of the comics ‘verse. It’s why a hirsute Canadian with an above-average sense of smell and some knives on his kn...

Crystal is actually stronger than Storm. While the former Mrs. Black Panther( a suprisingly nice romance i hated to see go ) controls Weather , the former Mrs Maximoff ( A Marriage i personally detested as 616 Petey deserves to be punched repeatedly ) can Control the The Elements themselves . The b...

It’s a darn shame the Inhumans ’ MCU show flopped. I recently just binge watched it on Disney+... It was just starting to find its footing at the end of its one and only season. It’s only eight episodes, if you haven’t seen it yet, give it a try. It ain’t great, but it ain’t half bad either. (Plus,...
