So i was in the library today saw a saga book and flipped through it and saw the exceptional line that its women who suffer most from war. In other news Pvt. Tommy Atkins leg utterly mangled by shellfire dies by drowning in mud at Passchendaele. According to fellow soldiers the only thing theyll remember is his pleas and cries for help as it took him over 6 hours to die. Women somehow most affected.

Glad i didnt read that fucking garbage heap. If you want to argue that civilians suffer the most in war thats fine but limiting it to only women is utterly exceptional.

I knew almost nothing about Cosmic Marvel shit going in except for big names like Galactus, Thanos, and Silver Surfer and it was one of the best times I've had reading comics. Even turned me into a Nova fan and I hadn't read or seen thing about him before that.

And for those interested, I used this handy guide curtesy of /co/ to track everything. The board kinda sucks now, but they're good for handing you a nice and easy to follow reading list for these kind of things.

The only corrections I think I'd make is that I don't feel Thanos #1 - 6 are necessary reading. Only #7 - 12 are done by Giffen and is nearly completely unconnected to what Starlin did in 1 - 6, beyond having Thanos as the main character. I'd also probably add the Inhumans mini-series 'Silent War', which sets up their status-quo for Secret Invasion and War of Kings.

oh don't forget the beginning of Hickman's F4 run that sorta concludes on the Kree/Inhuman plot points from that stuff.
 
It's been nearly a decade since I read DnAs run but I remember son of hulk being near irrelevant and only continues in some lame hulk arc. Guess it was in the onmi/trades and they threw it in.

Skaar, Son of Hulk, was used until the beginning of the whole "lead up to Secret Wars" shit. It's a shame because they could have at least slotted him somewhere in that period, as the son of one of the biggest Marvel figures is a fun thing.

Anyways Skaar right now is uh

last seen in the Ewing run, having been mind controlled or something.

How many kids does The Hulk have?

Hulk had twin boys with Caiera (now deceased), Skaar and Hiro-Kala. Hulk also has a daughter, Lyra, created from his DNA by her mother, Thundra.

Skaar was a side character with potential that was never used right. Lyra was present in a ton of Dark Reign/Heroic Age era stuff with young heroes but was never pushed that much.

Hiro-Kala died somewhere along the line, he was more of a bad guy tbh.

that’s such an issue which most minor characters. Many of them look like they have the ability to grow into cool characters but just end up forgotten. I get why they focus on the main heros so much but give the tiny guys a chance everyone one in a while.

he wasn't even that tiny, they just had a perfectly usable character there and didn't do shit with him despite being going "Hey, whatever happened to this guy".

Meanwhile they try to launch a fifth Ms Marvel or Ironheart thing and then wonder why they don't work.

Marvel has launched 3 Champions series within the span of 4 YEARS.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE CHAMPIONS HAPPEN, MARVEL. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

the best way to revive the Champions would have been to sorta bring back the original team in some capacity as mentors.

then work from there.

Does it even really count as a revival if the new one has nothing to do with the original? They would have been better off creating a new name for the team instead of trying to relate it to something that used to exist.

I know comics aren't for me anymore, the writers likely would hate me not because I hold some spicy beliefs about niggers, but because I object to the idea that the X-Men should for whatever reason fight the Reavers in Mexico because 'Free and Fair' Elections need to happen there. Like nigga come on, most politicians depending on the region in Mexico are openly bought off. At least the Avenger's writers, half the time, would just use an alien planet or different dimension to wax about how gay politics are, or how back in the day Hawkeye nearly pulled a Kitty Pryde and asked why they'd have to let Black Panther on the team to appease protestors and they were technically a UN team to deal with the rise of Superhumans.

This is just something that bugs me, like even the 2nd X-Men team was volunteers from other countries so they could have cultural exchange and open people the idea to superschools. That idea got dropped harder than the Fat Man and fast forward and the X-Men have literally just become some odd Movie Bob wet dream. They're just so smug and boring. At least the Avengers and Spider-Man will get thanked and then guys complain about how they wrecked his car. X-Men don't even entertain that parents don't want their kids going to the school. Also Jean once again was confirmed for brain raping people.

at least Laura's a teen so it's more easy to believe she'd say that as opposed to Apocalypse or Wolverine or even Beast or Nightcrawler.

Laura isn't Laura, Bendis started her turning into generic action girl, the gay superman dude put her into the ground. I'd miss her, but honestly it's not worth it. I just laugh at how ludicrous the premises are and how the writers are either really bad at making the audience know that the X-Men are the bad guys now or that they unironically support their actions. Vita Ayala might not be the only unironic retard at marvel.
