Comic Book Talk

I sort of hate that the new Captain America comic explicitly states that he came out of the ice post-9/11. I don't like having the mainstream comics that tied to real world events. I even dislike when they have specific presidents in the present.

How did you feel when Dr. Doom cried as Magneto removed the 9/11 wreckage?

I think it's stupid that 9/11 even happened in the Marvel Comics univsere, and that was just a stupid hat on top of a stupid hat.

Agree.

I dunno man, the conceit of Marvel has always been that it's our world.

There's a lot of the conceits that just don't work with my carefully constructed autistic logic.

Why is being bombarded by cosmic rays and radiation cool, but if you're born with it, you deserve to be rounded up and murdered by robots and put in camps?

Oh wait! I just looked at the current world.

This couldn't be less surprising after the success of Marvel's Ultimate reboot and DC's Absolute books.

I don't hate it, but it doesn't excite me.
