Fearless Defenders (Storytime of Pain part 2)

Its true, were going through this entire series this weekend. God help us all.

>ywn play a Marvel waifu fighting game
Who's your main, Sup Forums?

I'll be posting this instead of the usual link to the previous storytime, if only because I know you want nothing to do with the suffering of the past.

Of that cast? I think my chosen name demands that I play Misty.
You're lucky, you at least get to chose between Storm and Dani.

Spider-Gwen.
Or Gwenpool.

This series had better covers than it deserved

Oh shit, wait, I see Colleen on the right, below Hippolyta. I change my mind, I'd totally main Colleen.

Isn't that always the way?

Nope
Not doing it
I went through the other SoP but not this one

Oh god, that face in the first panel.

Who the heck is between Thundra and Hellcat?

Of the choices on this select screen, probably either Dani or Carol, because Carol is probably a cheesy projectile spammer an I am a scrub.
I confused Dani with Sif. Sif would be a good addition, but would probably play like a Val clone.

You survived Troubles, Marville, Austen, and Fraction's X-Men, but THIS is where you break?

Oh god I remember parts of Sup Forums pushing this HARD bc waifus

it's so bad

and took down Dani Moonstar

Oh good god, what's with Dani's bimbo lips here?

Hazmat or Songbird.

I've played with 'Ro in fighting games before, but Dani seems like she could be fun to play as.
>New Mutants game never ever
Fug

Can I pleas have a link to part 1?

>Storm and Dani

best waifus tho

that cover does look like a fun fighting game

user, it's post-MCU Marvel, and she's a redhead woman. It's Black Widow.

>>New Mutants game never ever

Rusty Collins in a fighting game? You're a madman, X-user!

Wow, someone actually wanted in on past suffering.

Those dragons look incredibly derivative of something that I can't just place.

Ah, I didn't realize the last thread was a ruse.
I knew I should have checked.

Of course he's a madman, he's actually trying to storytime that entire franchise! I'm going to be at it for half a year, and I'm doing freaking Luke Cage and Iron Fist!

And all the other ones that were being done, cry for justice, act of God, made equal or whatever, Amazon attack, all that ultimate marvel shit
All of em
But not this one
Not today
I'll be back tomorroe

And in case you can't tell who the roster was on the cover, it looks like here's a picture of everyone.

Go ahead, see if you got them all right..

I should have known a Fearless Defenders thead would summon you

It kind of looks like a fish of some kind.

>Wow, someone actually wanted in on past suffering.

Oh yeah, I was also one of the first anons to push for it to be a full weekend of pain last year.
I forgot if I was turn first or joined in, but i guess that doesn't matter when I'm posting as an user.

Shit, I can't believe I missed Widow.

>"I get it, Misty. You want to expand your circle of friends."

Don't tell me, people got annoyed that Colleen wasn't around in this series beforehand, and this was their passive-aggressive way of pointing out the criticism?

I do regular storytimes, and there's a lot of people doing Storytimes of Pain this weekend. I had a unique opportunity to pull a ruse.

Don't worry Thundra, I'm confused too.

link to the previous storytime?

I wish I had that idea. I applaud you, you magnificent bastard.

WTF is with Carol's hair?

Yeah, I think JSA is the only regular storytimer that didn't turn into pain.

At least you don't feel guilty about it.
I still like I have to apologize about getting people to storytime Marville at the beginning of the year

At least this is bad enough to be mildly amusing. In a weird, not-actually-funny way.

nm found it

Carol's hair hasn't been consistent ever since she was promoted to Captain Marvel.

Wow, the Storytime of Pain is my most active storytime yet. How's that for irony?

Well, the thing is, PM-IF and X anons just kinda fastforwarded to where their story times to turned naturally to pain.

JSA user could have done the same and skipped on ahead to more dire Captain Atom, but the tail end of LoSH, with Harvest is still relatively fresh.

What can I say, we're gluttons for punishment.
But mostly the waifus

JSAnon is a better person than me.

What crappy erotic webcomic did they get this artist from, and why is Otto Schmidt the only good cartoon pornist to end up at the big 2?

why mods delete eisner thread

aaron won writer, aja cover artist, silver surfer 11 best single issue

Honestly, If he then turned around and did something on the level of the unfunnies tomorrow, I would laugh myself to death as I cross link that post.

Actually, speaking of SoPs, I actually had to decide between Fearless Defenders and Villains for Hire.
But I figured that if I did that, people would get excited for "Minorities in Matchboxes" and "Magma Vaginas" and just get dissapointed when it turned out to be the wrong series.

>Magma Vaginas
Time out, what?

This is Will Sliney. Believe it or not, he's STILL working with Marvel.
You don't know that because he's working on Spider-Man 2099, and as much as we talk about how Miguel is the best Spider-Man, nobody's actually reading it.

Molten Vagina Woman, the best anti-hero the DCU didn't deserve.

Man, Val put on a lot of weight.

Anybody who ever made that claim is wrong

>nobody's actually reading it.

I'm basically only reading what Marvel gets storytimed on Sup Forums and even not all of that.

God. I used to read fucking EVERYTHING, and then I just got so tired of everything they were doing that I didn't even bother pirating anymore.

>You don't know that because he's working on Spider-Man 2099, and as much as we talk about how Miguel is the best Spider-Man, nobody's actually reading it.

Oh how true that is.
Only a few issues even got storytimed and now I haven't seen a new issue storytimed for a while.

Did Flash get punched by the jealous lesbian yet?

Wagneresque figure there.

Okay, so there's two series called "Villains for Hire".
One is done by Marvel, which was basically "what if the Purple Man ran his own version of Misty's Heroes For Hire, but hired Villains instead."
The other is by DC. For a while, the Titans book was completely recast and focused on a team lead by Deathstroke. One character is named "Cinder", she has pyrokinetic abilities. She killed a man by fucking him, and melting his dick while he's inside of her with lava from her vagina.

Other gems in this series include "Roy gets high on babies" and "Roy and Chesire fuck while Deathstroke watches".

The Marvel one just isn't memorable in comparison.

Wait is this comic bad
I always meant to read it after reading the fearless but I never got around to it
I figured it was just canceled because bunn books always get canceled

Oh wait maybe that means HE'S bad
Which explains why I couldn't stand his wolverine run

No, but I AM going one issue longer than normally just so we can get to that issue.
That's not even the worst part of it.

>The other is by DC. For a while, the Titans book was completely recast and focused on a team lead by Deathstroke
I think some of that got storytimed today.
I need to double check but I think that part was cut out.

Bunn is weird. He's good at writing Anti-Heroes or Villain books (Sinestro and Magneto), but give him a book not about total bastards, and he flounders.

Weirdly enough, HIS run on Agent Venom is more memorable than Reminder's, if only because of Mania.

That's it

That ugly black girl
This book
Fucking Captain Falcon

Misty is excommunicated from the ebony and ivory kung fu connection

Oh fuck, how long does this piece of shit go on?

Also, checked.

Relax PHG, we still have the comics between this and the 90's Cage series to get through.

That said, I like that "ebony and ivory kung fu connection" line. I'm stealing that one.

13 issue, although the punch comes in issue 9.

...

Oh god, look at that bottom panel.

Who's had more pointless "no really he's a total bastard" retcons, Xavier or Odin?

I really should avoid making fun of the art. Not because it doesn't deserve it, but because we'd be here forever.

Retcons, or stuff they actually did?

It's like Greg Land, if Greg Land wasn't so uncanny valley.

I like this cast. It's a nice mix of underused characters

If the book wasn't so shit and Annabelle Riggs wasn't such an awful drain on everything, this could have been decent

I like this team better than A-Force

Okay, does angry Val have the ability to summon lava bursts? Because she should keep that power, that'd be handy.

Land traces his porn poses. This guy DRAWS his own porn poses. But in the end, they're both ugly porn poses, but Land's look less "ugly" and more, well, uncanny valley as you said.

... This is going to end horribly, isn't it?
I mean, horrible for HER. I still want her dead.

>Because she should keep that power, that'd be handy.
Wait another 10 years for Ewing to come along and remind us of that power.

Going from the 90's to this, you REALLY feel the decompression.

Exactly what I was saying. All the odd, out of place facial expressions, the bizarre sex-with-invisible-partners poses, and the inconsistent, busted anatomy generally.... it's Greg Land without Greg Land's tracing.

I've read most of Thanos's pre MCU appearances, and I genuinely forgot he was a telepath too. He's so autistic about his character history, I don't even care that he mentioned Songbird didn't have her vocal powers last New Avengers, because he's probably going to reveal in a few issues "Nope, I got them back in Thunderbolts and didn't tell anyone, remember?"

By the way, yes. We are doing Cagebolts.

Okay, what's this weirdness with the armor?

Oh god, please don't talk about Land, I still have that fucking smiling Pamela Anderson face burned into my retinas.

Hey, I'm going to have to do Mighty Avengers! I have to deal with Land too!

>I don't even care that he mentioned Songbird didn't have her vocal powers last New Avengers, because he's probably going to reveal in a few issues

I'm even willing to let that slide since that might have not been reported to Shield.
I'll need to double check but it could be a ruse and set up for how she is going to get free.

Valkyrie's death sight lets her see women with the potential to be the new shield maidens to replace the old host of valkyries

She could see a couple of them throughout this series and instead she chose literally none of them to be on the team

Oh shit, she is dead, I was joking.

The fact that people have been shitting on that asshole's garbage ass work for over a decade and he still keeps getting high profile work is shameful.

He's the 00s Rob Liefeld.

I'm forever shocked that this series managed to put Dani Moonstar and Elsa Bloodstone on a team and still be boring as fuck. Also,
>One of Bunn's first drafts included Phyla-Vell

Yeah, they're bringing this up now. Is this a thing she's always had?

Hey now, at least Liefeld's art used to have some passion to them.

Oh, that third panel is going to attract you-know-who. Don't say his name!

I think its a new application for the deathsight she got after Fear Itself the Fearless when the last group of Valkyries fucked off and she was given the task of choosing their replacements

God, those Go Nagai boob rockets are extra prominent this page.

I thought the new Rob Liefeld was the guy on the new Thunderbolts book?

Mark Gruenwald has been dead for twenty years

I miss when Captain Marvel was still allowed to be feminine.

I hope they hire Mystique, just for the name confusion.

The ability to see people who are about to die? Yeah, I think so, it's how she adds to the Einherjar, and something that Dani got when she became a Valkyrie.

>that face in the top right picture

He looks like she just flashed him before the picture was taken, and hasn't looked away yet.
