February 28, 2012 3:09 pm I need to make a comment about the need to insert Captain Carrot into a Wizard of Oz/Alice in Wonderland crossover, but I don't know how. Also, "Secret Wars" out-wars "Civil War" any old day of the week.

February 28, 2012 3:06 pm All right, guys. We get it. Marvel told you to refer to "The Avengers" as "Marvel's The Avengers". Terrible decision on their part, in general, but no need to hammer it into the ground. But yeah, that's a bad poster.

February 17, 2012 11:22 pm Oh, I don't read Iron Man. It sucks.

February 17, 2012 4:22 pm DAY AND DATE DIGITAL NOW! NO, IT'S DESTROYING THE INDUSTRY! YES! NO! YES! NO! SPIDEY SOLD OUT TO THE DEVIL! EFF YOU, QUESADA... BUT AMAZING SPIDER-MAN IS GOOD AGAIN! GOOD MOVE! NO IT WASN'T!

February 17, 2012 4:17 pm Also, I was thinking (and has probably been said above) maybe it's so hard for the Hank Pym character to shake the "wife-beater" stigma because there's really no other interesting stories told about the character. Peter Parker and Reed Richards have had thousands of great stories told about them. But what is there to Hank Pym, really? He's, what, C-Level, at best? I think a parallel would be Tony Stark. Until recently (about the time of the first Iron Man movie) the best Iron Man story ever told was "Demon in a Bottle". So the Tony Stark character always carried that around with him, the alcoholism. But how many of us even think about that anymore when we read/watch the character? That character has been redeemed by newer, more exciting, interesting and engaging stories. Hank hasn't been given those. Because, c'mon... Ant-Man sucks. (j/k. Kind of.)

February 17, 2012 1:34 pm Can I throw something out there? As Josh is very clear to point out, Hank Pym is a fictional character. I'd like to suggest that he is actually MORE INTERESTING as a character with this baggage, and background. So, in terms of fiction and storytelling... this isn't such a bad thing. To retcon it would be to cheap out on it. Of course, Mark Millar dealt with this whole storyline much better in Ultimates Vol. 1 & 2 than it's ever been dealt with in 616. And animated Hank Pym has never hit Jan, so we can't really factor this flaw into our judgments of THAT character. Ah, multiple universes...
