The latest issue of Excalibur was actually decent. First time in a long time it wasn't a chore to read. Malice is an interesting character that I'd like to see explored more.

Desperate to regain the spotlight, Booster Gold looks to attract the public’s (and Justice League’s) attention the same way any washed-up, second-rate hero would—social media. The not-so-tech-savvy hero from the 25th century enlists the help of his best friend, Blue Beetle, who possesses both the money and the brains to help his old pal navigate the scary world of internet influencers. Watch out, evildoers, our heroes are live and online!
Don’t miss Dan Jurgens’s triumphant return to Booster Gold with the help of all-star artist Ryan Sook (Legion of Super-Heroes), telling a tale filled with heart and maybe even redemption for DC’s two favorite underdogs!

Somebody drew a truly fukked up hairline on Black Superman

This cover is awesome.

Why have the Avengers been mid?

Why have the Avengers been mid?

Because of Jason Aaron's mediocre writing.

Because of Jason Aaron's mediocre writing.

His Thor and Wolverine were pretty good, though.

His Thor and Wolverine were pretty good, though.

Wasn't a fan of his Wolverine but loved his Thor. And his Southern b*stards for Image was awesome.

He just has proven to be a bad fit for The Avengers.

This cover is awesome.

Dope cover

I want to get caught up on Avengers but everybody keeps saying it's .

I'll probably just read it on Marvel Unlimited. I won't pay any more money for it.

Hellfire Gala fashion show:

Whoever did the X-Force looks barely even tried.

 

[Jmare007]

I repeat, what the fukk is Chuck wearing

 

[Red Shield]

Mauraders

Yeah X-Force definitely looks like they barely tried

Hellions... Mystique is the stand out

X-Men got the nicest designs

It would set up an interesting moral and diplomatic dilemma.

Say a group of mutant citizens of Krakoa decide to go make an assassination attempt on Wanda...how would The Small Council handle it? Would they claim that its a Krakoa problem and they will decide what punishment the would be assassins would suffer? Would The Avengers buy that and just leave it to Chuck and them to handle?
Would Wanda accept it? When pushed she can go a bit medieval.
And how long would it take Quicksilver to decide to run his goofy ass to Krakoa and super-speed murder the folks who tried to kill his sister causing an international incident?

I hope they explore something like this or something similar. Say some mutant in Russia gets killed by some drunks at a bar but the drunks didn't know they were a mutant. Would Krakoa citizens go after them? How would Russia react to mutants coming through in their country? Or what if a mutant in Arkansas kills a human? Krakoa says they'll handle it but say the governor of Arkansas says no, that mutant needs to stand trial for murder. These are things I want them to explore in the X-titles.
