What was the one event from a few years ago where they tried to make The Orb into some cosmic major deal?

The Orb is a stunt cyclist who wears a big eyeball helmet that shoots laser beams. That is joyously hokey comic book nonsense and needs to be protected at all costs.

Original sin. Fury got fukked up in that event too

Its really interesting because
the only reason Banner is immune is because he has Multiple Personality Disorder.

What I DONT LIKE is
Ewing treating a trans person like they have Multiple Personality Disorder, and Doc Samson, one of the few spotlighted psychiatrists (the other two being Moonstone and Dr. Malus) being like ":ohhh: OMG it makes sense."

Now....

Watch Doc Samson be Gay :mjlol::francis:
Banner isnt immune thats why he is calling himself robert and acting like a lunatic. Only hulk is.

Anyone following along with Gail Simone's 5 Day "Comic's School"?

She is doing a writing exercise every day and just checking out the entries and the comments from her and other comics pros is pretty interesting.

That Xemnu shyt is a mindfukk.

I knew about Xemnu cause I spent umpteen years tracking down collecting and reading copies of "The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe" in every incarnation, and read his entry

(It's actually where my love for obscure characters comes from)

Seeing dude in action though....

that's something else entirely. :lupe:

Although it's prolly a beat to death trope at this point, his comment about smartphones being miniature TVs was kinda chilling. Especially with Xemnu's powerset.

It seems like Marvel's main writers are really digging into continuity to find interesting things to write about.... something else I been complaining about for who knows how long.

Never hire a person to write a book if they gotta research. Always hire fanboys and neckbeards.
Nope! Geoff John's is a fan boy and he sucks
