Happy Hanukkah, everyone, from these two jerks! I’m posting this a little early this year. Line art by the amazing Ro Stein & Ted Brandt, and colour art by @deecunniffe. 

I want to point out what a technical achievement this story is on the art side. There’s a real joy to creating a whole story in eight panels, but this? This is some magic. We introduce four new characters. In panel 5, SIX PEOPLE are talking. SIX. In the world of comics, that’s almost un-doable. 

Yet Ro and Ted arranged everything so the conversations flow and are sensibly grouped, all the “acting” is fantastic, and then Dee laid on top these beautiful, almost fairytale colours – look at the subtle work, the blush in Henry’s cheeks, Frank’s five o-clock shadow, the shine of the wine bottle’s glass surface, the light texturing in the backgrounds… and of course the snow! This is some first-class illustration work on an incredibly hard script. (I fear Ro and Ted always get me at my worst – my very formalist script for them in the 24 Panels anthology was no cakewalk either. (The problem is, they’re just so damn good at it… check out their work on the Image comic Crowded!)

As always, if you like what we do in Hells Kitchen Movie Club, consider donating a little to a veteran’s charity. 

(I also have a thriller novel I’m crowdfunding, please check it out, we are more than halfway there. The book is all written…)

“According to Deadline, Wonder Woman writer Allan Heinberg is working with Marvel and ABC to create a series of hour-long episodes focusing on more obscure heroes, potentially including those in A-Force, Fearless Defenders and Lady Liberators.

As well as Karolina and Nico, these comics include bisexual Thor: Ragnarok warrior Valkyrie and Dr Annabelle Riggs, who kiss in the same issue in which Valkyrie saves Annabelle’s life.

America Chavez, a queer Latina teenager with lesbian parents, who does her hero work as Miss America and got her own comic book last year, is also reportedly up for inclusion in the show.  

The comics series also feature Mariko Yashida, an openly gay superhero who, in one reality, has a relationship with Mary Jane Watson’s Spider-Woman, and the openly bisexual Moondragon, who has been canonically attracted to female characters Cloud, Marlo Chandler, and Phyla-Vell.”

I WANT THIS SHOW MORE THAN I HAVE EVER WANTED ANY OTHER MARVEL SHOW EVER

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED

MJ is bi? What even is the point of Peter when she could date Felicia or Gwen.

This show would be magic.

Squirrel Girl texts with Bucky in Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale

I have just started reading this and the first friend Doreen makes after Tippy-Toe is a Deaf girl at her new school! Doreen tries talking to her in the cafeteria, and the girl shuts her down, saying she can’t understand her over the din. (Hearing aids suck in loud environments, yo.) So, rather than being deterred, Doreen goes home and brushes up HARD on the ASL that she learnt from her Deaf cousin, and tries again the next day. After being startled at Doreen knowing sign, she tentatively accepts her friendship.

Marvel Gothic

  • The comic you like came out this week. It came out last week. It will come out the week after. It won’t be seen again for another 3 months.
  • Everything is presented as status quo shattering and game changing. Game changing and status quo shattering IS the Status Quo.
  • It Is a Big Deal that Captain Marvel is a woman now. You remember the last Captain Marvel was a woman. No one else does.
  • You read a comic you purchased today. It feels like it already happened. You don’t have this comic, do you?
  • Those two characters hate each other but are best friends. Everyone wants them to kiss. What is real? What isn’t?
  • You read your favorite comic. Nothing happens. But everything happens as well. 
  • Written by Brian Michael Bendis is on every issue cover. You can’t remember a time a book you read wasn’t by Brian, Michael, or Bendis.
  • You read a comic you purchased today. It feels like it already happened. You don’t have this comic, do you?
  • That issue you’ve been looking forward to for the past three months finally came out. You read it. Nothing is the same. You don’t remember this world. Did this comic exist three months ago? Your memory is failing.
  • A prominent gay superhero gets married. You’ve never heard of their spouse-to-be. Who are they? Have they appeared in a comic before?
  • You pick up Avengers #1. You picked up an Avengers #1 last week. There is another next month. Half of your Marvel collection are #1s. Does the number two exist in the Marvel Universe?
  • You read a comic you purchased today. It feels like it already happened. You don’t have this comic, do you?
  • Wolverine is on every cover. So is Deadpool. It’s gritty but there’s a 4th wall shattering pop culture reference involving chimichangas and Canada indirectly.
  • Does anything exist outside of New York?
  • Who the hell is Bucky?
  • Your comic issue has a decimal. Is it a full comic? Where does X-Force Vol 4 #1.INH.NOW.ULT.1 compared to X-Force Vol 4 #1.NOW.1.ULT. 
  • Do Fractions even exist in the Marvel Universe anymore?
  • What’s a Spider-Gwen?
  • You think you see Uncle Ben. He is a clone. Clones are all the rage.
  • #1.NOW.ULT.INH.1? How do numbers work in the Marvel Universe
  • You heard about this book a year ago by your favorite up and coming writer but now He’s Brian Michael Bendis. Do all writers end up merging with Brian Michael Bendis?
  • You see a Marvel Movie. It’s your favorite. The next one will be your favorite too. And the one after that.
  • You’ve heard of other comics by other companies. You don’t read them. They don’t have Marvel on the cover. But you hear rumblings of a Bat-Man. Who gets bitten by a radioactive bat?
  • This list relaunches with the same creative team. It relaunches again next month.
  • You are now obsessed with Bucky.
  • Every superhero is now named Gwen. There is a Spider-Gwen, a Gwenpool, Captain Gwenmerica, Iron Gwen, The Ingwenible Hulk. Bucky Gwen. 
  • You can’t wait for the next Unbeatable Squirrel-Gwen #1

Sometimes I just kinda wanna cry because in the MCU, Steven Grant Rogers:

  • Was violently bullied throughout his childhood and into adulthood.
  • Watched his mother waste away and die.
  • Was an orphan by his mid-to-late teens.
  • Grew up in poverty, during the Great Depression, as the child of immigrants .
  • Grew up color-blind, partially-deaf, malnourished/stunted, and chronically-ill, in a culture that was so big on eugenics that Nazis took their cues from the US systems.
  • Signed up for the army and then dove on what he believed to be a live grenade because he believed the best use of his life was to exchange it for the lives of others.
  • Fought on the front lines of the bloodiest and most horrific war in human history, where he undoubtedly witnessed terrible violence and atrocities.
  • Watched his best friend die and lived with the guilt of believing he was responsible.
  • Crashed a plane into the ocean, fully believing he was going to die.
  • Was frozen alive.
  • Woke up to find that nearly everyone he’d ever known was dead and gone, and his home was changed nearly beyond recognition; he could never truly go home from the war. Ever.
  • Lost his shot at happiness with the one woman who ever actually looked at him when he was small and frail, and had to watch her mind come apart, and later carry her coffin.
  • Found out his sacrifice – the thing he gave up his life, his friends, his whole world for – was in vain, and that HYDRA had corrupted the legacy of the people he loved.
  • Found out his best friend survived, and that he’d abandoned him to a fate worse than death, and got to then live with THAT fresh guilt.
  • Is seen by most people as Captain America; almost no one sees Steve Rogers.
  • Was only 26 years old, biologically, during the Battle of New York. 
  • Has not had the time or resources to cope with any of this.

All of this is true, but most importantly:

* Despite everything is still a feisty lil shit with a lot of righteous anger and a wicked sense of humour who will fight for what is right rather than for the letter of the law.
