    I guess the thing that surprised me about your reaction was the severity of it. I saw her early death and went "oh, that's too bad" and moved on--but from what you've said it sounds like your reaction was more like "this sucks; I no longer have any interest in reading this miniseries at all". Of course, you've always had a special fondness for snake-themed villains, so it hit you in a sensitive spot.
    Well, yeah, and I had no interest in the others in the cast (maybe Rhino, but he also dipped out fast). She could've joined the Serpent Society!

    Speaking of which, if Rosenberg had planned to use other villains, I wonder if he had Sidewinder in Snakehead's role since they're both teleporters.

    Probably not so much now, maybe Mister Fear, but we're close to the half point of the story (it's just 3 issues) and while Kingpin states everybody died in the mission, at least Taskmaster and Batroc have enough pull I don't expect them to die, just go underground.

    I hope this miniseries sells well enough to get them to do an ongoing, maybe they fake their death and Star and Batroc could end up on a more straightforward T-Bolts crew. Could really need some resolution to Abner missing, Jolt actually doing something in the 616, and whatever Ghost has going on with his love in AI form.

    Well, Star is probably the only one who doesn't look cooler with her mask on, so no wonder she doesn't put it on .

    Simon is popular in France? Huh.

    Is it just me or do the eyes on Taskmaster's skull mask look like they're evoking his MCU mask compared to the traditional design?

    I know, right?! Personally, I was hoping it would look more like the UDON version

    I'm still waiting for Marvel to cut a deal with UDON so they can use the UDON design again. That was the best Taskmaster look, in my opinion.

    I don't know if this is pre or post the latest Spidey storyline, but Norman fake sanity pretty well.

    Yeah, hes currently the the director of Ravencroft working under Fisk and had his sins expelled from himself, resulting in him just being a guilt riddled wet noodle who wants to right his wrongs, while also coy enough to fake being his old self when he needs to. Presumably this takes place sometime after ASM #55 of Spencer's run.

    Same. I really enjoyed that TASKMASTER mini but I did not like the UDON redesign of his look. Taskmaster already had a great look--there was no need to mess with it. I can understand removing the cape, given some of the acrobatic feats he was doing in that story. But redesigning the entire outfit was too much--he didn't look like Taskmaster anymore.

    Me too. The classic beats whatever today's creative minds can come up with...

    No matter what, I'll always love UDON! But, simply put, no one can improve upon whatever design George Perez has created...

    I'm curious what happened to the previous Thunderbolts from there. IIRC didnt 616 Zemo steal his counterpart's body(who went under the name Iron Cross) from there? Or maybe this isnt even related to that, I havent looked into this Heroes Reborn at all.
