    I am aware and simply don't care. He provided for them when he was alive. Providing for them after his death in this manner is just disingenuous. The job was done and the money was spent. Suing after...

    Hardly. Big business likes the "lather, rinse, & repeat" MO. Find something that worked once & repeat it ad infinitum. Hollywood does it as easily as you breathe. Comics are no different. Forcing...

    It feels like a hollow "victory," if that's what you want to call it. Jack isn't alive to appreciate the settlement. The ones to benefit are the ones who knew where the lawyer's office was. YAY!...

    The standing legal precedent is that Kirby sued Marvel and lost. They [the Kirby estate] appealed and lost again. An out of court settlement means that the terms are likely to only be known to the...

    EXACTLY! The money is likely more to make them shut up and stop suing. The Kirby estate likely knew that they'd never win. This whole show was them hoping to wear Marvel/Disney down, which they...

    Cooler heads nothing. They just wanted it dead and buried. With so much stuff on Marvel's plate in the next 5 years, this Kirby case was an unnecessary distraction.

    Let's also not forget that...

    TBH, there was nothing to settle. Given both the 2011 win for Marvel and the failed appeal in 2013, Kirby's estate was probably going to end up losing again anyway.

    Just because Marvel's suddenly...

    Another lost vote here for Penguin. =/

    I'm just trying to figure out how the heck Selina managed to get nearly 100 votes. She didn't say anything the entire episode. She he just robbed 2 people in...

    I'm bothered less by the characterization than the lingering problems with pacing and continuity.

    Unless Havok suddenly starts murdering children and Kang starts a charity, I don't see much...

    Generally speaking, yes, Marvel NOW was a relaunch. It did see somewhere along the lines of 30 new #1 issues. However, as these things go, it was about as soft a relaunch as you can get. Changes were...

    He was also smart enough in the recent .1 issue to do an on the spot DNA analysis. I just don't think that his intelligence is really a point of discussion in #35. This scene is really all about his...

    No. No. I think that you're looking at it all wrong. Hyperion isn't acting like he's dumb, but like he actually trusts his kids, which is what he considers them.

    When you've got young kids, they...

    I agree to an extent, in so much as the idea of multiversal collapse holds more gravitas than politics. However, Civil War hit home for a bunch of people because it was topical. The whole...

    TomAEto. TomAHto. I think that you're splitting hairs. Marvel will conveniently forget about the whole "rebirth" thing and lump him in with the previous incarnation, if they haven't already. They...

    Nobody breaks their own rules as well as Marvel. :D After DoFP, or whatever was their first alternate universe, the gloves have been of. It's all been fair game since. The whole Celstial explanation...

    Nah. They're well broken across the board. That break extended into the Ultimate U and Angela's plane. It wasn't only the 616 that broke. The end of AoU showed a number of non-616 realities affected...

    Totaly forgot about that. That board is crazy though. Even if they didn't have super detailed plans, there's the suggestion that they had a fairly rough idea of what they wanted to do up to 4-5 years...

    I think that that one of them is future (old) Tony Stark and the other is current Tony. IIRC, this image was from New Avengers #5 in 2010. Right at the beginning of the "Heroic Age" initiative. It...

    BTW, I'm sure that you've all seen this image before, but I think that it might be worth revisiting. If you look closely, you'll see "Ultron War" - which likely became AoU. After that, you'll see...

    Yeah. If the space-time continuum were broken, as the end of AoU explicitly stated that it was, then EVERYTHING is all messed up. This break allowed Angela to come through. It allowed Galactus to...

    What if Marvel decided to go full on cosmic and suggest that all of this is a part of Eternity dying? Think about it. Age of Ultron ended off with the space-time continuum breaking. If Eternity is...

    As awesome as it would be, it's pretty unlikely. I'm not sure who said it (Axel?), but the current climate between DC and Marvel leadership kinda prevents such a crossover these days. I don't know if...

    There's precedence there too. In "Age of Ultron," when the issue of her kids were brought up, it was Sue who let Wolverine kill Hank in the past. Pretty sure that there are a lot of things that she'd...
