That's a pretty serious development at the end of Original Sin Hulk vs Iron Man 1 (apparently Stark monkeyed with the Gamma bomb). Like there wasn't enough reason for animosity already.

That origin has been so retconned, I'd love to see someone make a timeline of exactly what happened and when. :lol:

As far as retcons go, I'm more stuffed that all the super science-y brainy heroes seemed to know each other prior to heroing up.
Why was it fine before that all these guys were just intelligent and top of their fields by themselves and now it's like they were all fucking roommates in college and bunk mates at summer camp and went to the same daycare when they were two. I swear, every year there's a new "Oh Pym and Banner worked on a project in college." Or "Doc Ock and Stark fought over a girl in jr high" or bullshit like that. EVERYBODY DIDNT HAVE TO FUCKING KNOW EACH OTHER!! :frus:

Concerning the newest issue of Thunderbolts, why would Ross be homicidal towards Frank for wanting to leave, when he was dandy with Venom leaving not five issues ago? He even stated "this isn't the army, you guys can leave whenever..."
I'm not complaining, because Punisher vs Tbolts is an awesome idea, just not very consistent in between writers.

EDIT. And from the Oct solicits, I see it's getting cancelled. Ugh. Just when it finally gets a decent writing team. I sincerely hope Acker/Blacker get put on something else.

Also, FEMALE THOR. WTF?

I'm thinking Tony's "brother" Arno(Tony was adopted, Arno is the real Stark son) will be the new Iron Man, since he's been Iron Man 2020 for decades and we're almost to the actual 2020.

Neither female Thor nor Dark Cap have the power to make me buy their solo titles.

They basically just pulled a Rhodey with Falcon. Never been a huge Falcon fan, but it kinda undermines making him his own hero if he's a surrogate Cap.

I'm surprised Remender didn't kill him off already. His pony only does one trick.

Aside from some real shitpiles on the list (New Mutants 98? Clone Saga?) and more than a few glaring omissions, how the hell can the complete run of a current ongoing be eligible?

New Mutants 98 is early if not first Cable as well as 1st Deadpool. All the grounds for Leifeldian fanwank you could ever ask for. :roll:

Even putting aside the fact I can't stand Deadpool and would have him drown to permanent death in a vat of goat piss if I was writing his title, his first appearance is a fucking mediocre issue.

I like Jubilee. I like Wolverine. I like all the creators involved. But no fucking way would I put Uncanny #244 or Hulk #181 among the top comics of all time.
