Kirsten taunting Matt


Foggy finding out he has cancer


Both of these are from Mark Waid's run (different artists obviously). You need some back and forth between fun and grit, otherwise it's just depressing.

And that sequence of panels with some slut teasing Matt are supposed to be humorous? Don't kids read Marvel comics or is it only adults? As a kid growing up reading Marvel/DC comics, I read them for the superhero vs villain battles, not for sluts lifting up their blouse to a blind man at the office. Last time I checked, that's sexual harassment but I guess it's OK if it's the female doing the harassing, flip it around and the guy is a POS perv & needs to be fired/arrested. You call that good writing? You must not ask for much. I got into comics to escape the problems of the real world for a few hrs as I escaped into my stack of comics on a Saturday afternoon, not to read about the very same real world problems I'm trying to get away from. If I wanna see a chicks tatas, I can just check out a porn mag, don't need to see it in the pages of a Marvel comic. Marvel used to write comics that were just simple 1 comic story arcs or at most a 2-3 parter. Back in the good ol days of Avengers being drawn by Perez & X-men by Byrne, You could see the Avengers throwing down with Ultron for couple of issues followed by a 3 parter of them going against a powered up Nefaria, X-men fighting Sentinels for a couple of issues & then the Hellfire club followed by a throwdown with the IG. Now they stretch out a storyline for an entire yr or more. Marvel is adapting the MCU into their storylines and changing the costumes to match the movies. I didn't want that shit. Keep the comics separated from the movies. Ironman is now a totally different animal from his carrying his armor in a suitcase days to a person who has organic armor within his body, wtf! He looks like the DC modern version of Blue Beetle with his ability now to morph his armor into wings and arms into photon cannons, WTF, is he a transformer now? Hasbro has become so fixtated with just the movie armors that have become redundant with just little variations in color or design. The original Toybiz ML wave 1 classic yellow/red armor is in serious need of a re-do. They did a better version in that 2 pack with Maria Hill but it is skinny & too small. A classic War Machine like the cool 4' version in the MU line would be greatly appreciated. All the recent Thors are either movie versions or BS Giant sized modern comcic versions that are outta scale with all the other ML figs. Thor's 6'6 not 7'6! A classic Thor re-do is long way overdue. They have the buck for a new classic Thor in the buck used for that crap unworthy Thor. Classic Hercules is another character that need's a re-do. I would want both his classic 1st app version and the 80s H-harness version that came out so awesome in the MU 4' scale, just make that one in 6.5 scale and I'd be a happy camper. All these countless MCU IMs, Thors, Starlords, Hulks, Spidermans, but not one slot available for a classic Hercules, Vision, IM, Thor, Perez Beast, 1st/2app Wonderman, Quicksilver , Falcon, Swordsman, Yellowjacket? I know I'm not alone in wanting a classic Avengers lineup from the 70s/80s.
