Re: Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited

The interface is ab-so-lutely HORRENDOUS. I've seen programs coded by half-drunk amateurs that are more usable. Seriously, I've read scans of comics before and had no problem doing so. I couldn't stomach trying to read using Marvel's ridiculous viewer. I'm fairly new to reading comics online, so ma...

Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited

I started this thread to see if anyone else here is using this feature on Marvel's website? (it could potentially be pretty handy for chronologists). A couple of weeks ago, I bought a year's subscription, and am overall pretty impressed. The "smart panels" feature is now my favorite way to...

Re: Skaar: Son of Hulk #2-6 + "Savage World of Sakaar" one-shot

I updated several more flashbacks in the MCP listings above. Not just advice. Here's the dialogue from the relevant section of SKR 5: (7:3) SKAAR: "Always talking... --just talk talk talk" CAIERA: "Today I'll do more than that. The Old Power draws its strength from the planet itself.&...

Re: Skaar: Son of Hulk #2-6 + "Savage World of Sakaar" one-shot

One more thing for now, having flicked back through the comics - Caiera should be -OP rather than -VO in #5, yes? [That is, since she's actively protecting Skaar, she's "doing stuff" - albeit without a physical body, so still off-panel - thus upgrading her from the -VO.] I don't know if h...

Re: Skaar: Son of Hulk #2-6 + "Savage World of Sakaar" one-shot

I've updated some of the MCP listings to reflect Somebody's excellent observations. I'll go home tonight and check on adding page-ranges to the listings for some of the other flashbacks, (I've been hesitant to do page-ranges on flashbacks until now). It used to be that if the MCP listing mentions th...

Re: Skaar: Son of Hulk #2-6 + "Savage World of Sakaar" one-shot

Notes: I analysed Hulk Family: Green Genes #1/1, #1/2 and #1/4 before. The Skaar story was the second story from the one-shot, not the first. Good catch. But for one-shots like that, should the MCP listings look like "HF:GG 1/2" or "HF:GG/2"? The Surfer's also appearing in Beta ...

Skaar: Son of Hulk #2-6 + "Savage World of Sakaar" one-shot

Here's the analysis for "Skaar: Son of Hulk #2-6", plus the "'Skaar: Son of Hulk' presents 'Savage World of Sakaar'" one-shot. What an absolute mess this was to analyze. This storyline features issues being split into two different tales, numerous flashbacks, and heavy revisions,...

Re: August call for analyses

Incredible Hulk #601 I'll handle this issue, (and all issues onward)...for now. Planet Skaar Prologue I'll handle this as well, and it should be moved to the "completed" stack. Son of Hulk #13-15 Son of Hulk #16 And yeah, I'll take these.... My analysis for Skaar #2-6 will be up in the ne...

Re: Beta Ray Bill: The Green of Eden (one-shot) Analysis

Thanks for the analysis, Kevin. One question: does this story take place over the course of a single day? The main part of it, more than likely, does occur on the same day, (though the passage of time in these outer space stories is never clear). On the other hand, the last page epilogue, (pg. 30) ...

Re: February call for analyses

I suppose this thread is the best place for me to let you know that I finally got around to reading all of December's "What If" one-shots, and none of them feature appearances by the "real" Uatu, and nor do any of them feature canon scenes set in the real "Earth-616". S...
