Mighty Avengers Vol 2 Part 3

Welcome back Anons! Last time, White Tiger took control of the Tiger God, and Ronin was revealed to be Blade in disguise.
Today, we're doing the Original Sin tie-ins and finishing up Mighty Avengers. Normally I'd post the event too... but as I've mentioned a few times since coming back, I can't be bothered.

Seriously, I wonder if it's because I was reading comics at this point, but I'm not even morbidly interested in some of the events at this point.

Oh, and Land's back.

yay....

>Fire-breathing were-roosters

Don't ask, just read, Anons.

Who is worse, Deodato or Land?

The answer to the question NOBODY thought to ask!

>"I am NOT getting taken down by your barnyard-quality bullshit"
>gets taken down

In my opinion, Land. Deodato looked good in Ellisbolts, whereas I can't say I've ever seen Land look good.

I forget, did people expect Uatu to come back? Because it's been a while since he got Aaron'd.

Agreed. Deodato has storytelling chops, he has just gotten too lazy to use them, Land doesn't even have that.

Am I getting Watchers mixed up with the Guardians, or is the fact that there are female Watchers seem wrong?

We're comparing shit to piss, to it's not like EITHER of them are that good, at least now.

Let me guess, that's fucking Scott Lang in Fantastic Four?

And then the killer, Nick Fury got off scott-free.
Sorry if you care about the end of Original Sin, but you really shouldn't.

Yeah, The Orb used the Watcher's Eye on this or some horseshit? I forget, and more importantly, I don't really care.

Is Nextwave basically required reading on Sup Forums?

People expect pretty much any major character to come back, so yeah.

I just think it's a bummer how there wasn't even a replacement for Uatu, and no, Nick Fury does not fucking count.

I miss a Sam Wilson who didn't have a stick up his ass.

>People expect pretty much any major character to come back, so yeah.

I mean, Xavier's still dead, so maybe Fox gets an exception.

Remember when Sam-Nova basically had a friendship with Uatu as an early subplot, that got strangled in the crib by Original Sin?

I think he's coming back in Soule's Astonishing, but admittedly I'm not keeping up with current X-books.

But yeah, if X-Men characters are screwed, then F4 characters are flat-out fucked.

I guess Land couldn't find any porn to trace this baby from, so he had to do it himself?

I don't think we EVER fucking see this thing again.

Do they REALLY need were-lampreys to suck blood? Seriously, just get some friggen vampires!

Seriously, Viciada there looks like nearly every other women in a Land comic, right down to the face.

At least people know who the more famous X-Men are. The most talk the Fantastic Four have ever generated outside of the comics and that last shit movie, is "Who the fuck is the Super-Skrull, and why is he in MvC3?"

Shame, because they or Ulana could've been Uatu's replacement. It's pretty goddamn telling that Marvel hasn't published a What If since then.

I don't envy Ewing having to somehow explain how 90's Cage's depiction of Luke's dad can co-exist with Bendis's depiction of him.

So basically every tie-in to Original Sin, ironically, has little to do with the actual plot, and more to do with that Eye Bomb, no matter how dumb the "secrets" they reveal are.

I think that one panel is literally the ONLY time the 90's Cage series has ever been mentioned since it ended.
Not even a casual reference to Luke's unbreakable leather jacket, or those weapons that could cut through Luke's skin, or anything!

There's a few What If's they've done, but they're usually "What if this event went differently?" like AvX.

Remember, this was 20 years before Galactus landed, based on the sliding timescale, as dumb as that sounds.

Yeah, that's Blade's original look. I don't know if the Wesley Snipes movie came out first and the comics changed it, or not, but for once, syngergy wasn't completly dumb.

Yeah, but I think that one came out before Original Sin. Not sure about the Infinity What Ifs, which were the very last ones they made, two friggin' years ago.

I notice that he doesn't bother saying that VAMPIRES aren't real either.

Some Blue Marvel backstory for you guys.

>you live in the timeline where Marvel's First Family will be forgotten because of some petty movie bullshit
It's not fair, senpai.

I know about Kaluu from my Doctor Strange stuff, but I have no idea where he ended up, between the 80's and this series.

The "Yao" Kaluu is mentioning here is better known as "The Ancient One", Doctor Strange's mentor.

I mean, credit where it's due, Kaluu DOES look like a sterotypical vampire.

By the way, if you want to know what Kaluu means by "his powers peaking", check Strange Tales.

... God damn, has it really been two years since all those one-shots?

I love how even Kaluu and Blade can see this shit.

>gets shot in the head
>only says "Ow."

I like new Kaluu.

X-user, you're talking to an Iron Fist fan, living in the world where the Netflix show happened. I don't know who snorted paint and decided "Instead of making a Mortal Kombat variant, let's make it about board room politics!" but whoever it was should get fired.

Seriously, this damn sameface with his women annoys the piss out of me.

The FF were already forgotten. If their book had been selling like Xmen it never would have been cancelled

I love how Pappa Cage's immediate response to finding out shit's gonna get weird again is basically "Get the booze".

I really should get back to reading some of the Horror Marvel stuff. I remember downloading a lot of the crossovers Strange was part of in the 90's, but then I got distracted with video games before I could get to it.

So yeah, she's not dead, in case you thought she had Death Flags all over her. Or maybe she was and came back to life. Kaluu's involved, so who knows.

...

I like Kaluu more when he DOESN'T have slicked back hair like this.

Fuck off, Brevoort.

And these four look like now.

>fourth panel
>"Nope, not gettin' out of this chair."

Well, that explains why they needed freaking were-lampreys to take Blade's blood, instead of, you know, drinking it themselves.

Yeap. I'd say the Marvel U got a fair bit less interesting when Uatu died.

That hurt me too. Danny deserved better.

>The Bear is literally a were-bear

Wow, really creative with that name, huh?

>a poster for a 1958 movie

So yeah, she's been around for a while.

To be fair Kaluu, I read your origin, you and the Ancient One fucked up Kamar-Taj enough. ESPECIALLY you.

So yeah, despite what you may think, Kaluu's actually right, The Ancient One really did fuck up badly to stop Kaluu from conquering nearby countries.

>That hurt me too. Danny deserved better.

Basically, make it a fighting game plot, where a bunch of Martial Artists from the Marvel universe are invited to a tournament. The tournament is secretly run by The Hand. The winner either joins the Hand willingly, or gets killed and revived as a loyal puppet of The Hand, to because linking Iron Fist to The Hand from their backstories is dumb, and this actually gives Danny a reason to want to deal with them.
Plus, Marvel's martial artists are surprisingly racially diverse, so the hero being a white guy wouldn't matter much if you also have Shang-Chi, the Sons of the Tiger, and maybe a few of the other Immortal Weapons.

And now we know where Luke got the idea for his classic entrance.

>"Adam dodged back, let the dagger whisper past his throat. Maybe he was vulnerable to magic."

GET IT? BECAUSE HE'S SUPERMAN!

Oh good, Papa Cage is basically shitting himself.

But the other Team Normal is doing okay. No wonder he got with Luke's mom instead.

Who the hell is James?

Man, he did NOT have a good time with this weird shit.

... Well shit, why didn't you OPEN with that?

>"Oh right, Black Superman probably has heat vision..."

Okay, LIGHT vision, whatever.

... Kaluu, if you were going to hide it anyway, why not just throw it to one of the dozens of alternate planes you or Doctor Strange can travel by blinking your left eye or something?

Wait, so Blue Marvel was THERE the entire time?

Am I nuts, or does that one on the bottom right kind of look like Tony Stark?

I looked it up. That kid of Uatu's is so minor it never even got a name to look up.

Well, at least he knows he's kind of a coward.

Do you remember that woman from Byrne's Namor issues a while back, that got a blood transfusion from the Jim Hammond and was de-aged to being sixteen?
Yeah, apparently she started dating Blade, so it's not nearly as weird as it looks.

And apparently she became a vampire at some point.

One of her many super-powers, not QUITE as useful as her super-speed.

Speaking of, Danny really was only in this series for the one issue, wasn't he?

If you know who Doctor Druid is, it's probably because you know him as "one of the worst Avengers".

Do you think he knows that was Luke's name, or was he just being a shitter?

...

What are the odds that Blade's gonna hit fuckers with the chains?

Oh man, I NEVER need to see a zoom-in that close in my life!

Huh, he never used the chains. I guess I've been playing too much Castlevania.

Funny how someone else recently storytimed Captain Britain and the MI-13, which is where they started dating. Can you say Hypercrisis?

Welp, that's cool.

I mean, he's got a point, Kaluu IS kind of an ass.

Well shit, if you didn't need Blade anymore, why'd you wait?

I mean, it IS Ewing, and he's the closest Marvel gets to it.

Well... fuck.

And now it's Kaluu's turn to shit himself.

DUN DUN DUN

Last issue of the day, Anons!

Looks like one of those old Kirby monsters, but shittier because this is Larroca.

Sounds about right.

God damn, and I thought Jessica was ugly when GAYDOS drew her.

Oh, nevermind, she's just getting older. Now I feel stupid for taking the piss.

I mean, we KNOW who took Luke's brother. Well, we did, I just forgot who it was.

>Luke getting his entire shirt ripped off

Just like old times!
