The kid isn’t a skrull. He’s only been possessed just like Maya was before Dr. Strange astral projected himself to get her out of it.

How can the baby be a Skrull?! Bendis must be messing with us.

Wasn’t the baby conceived back in Alias #1? Cage was still in his “yellow shirt and tiara” phase back in the early days of the MAX line and he was wearing the yellow shirt before he and Jessica slept together. But then Azzarello & Corben came out and did the Cage MAX mini. The Cage MAX story basically ignored the yellow shirt and tiara and just busted out the hip-hop Luke Cage. And then in his next appearances in Alias and Daredevil, Cage was always sporting the hip-hop style.

Considering that the Cage MAX story was told from his point of view, it would be pretty crappy if Cage turned out to be a Skrull when he and Jessica made the baby.

It would be even crappier if Jessica were a Skrull for the same reason- Alias and Pulse were pretty much told from her point of view. Unless she actually doesn’t know she’s a Skrull. Remember that old-school story about Reed Richards brainwashing a team of Skrull soldiers into thinking they were normal Earth cows? Don’t tell me Jessica has implanted memories and is a sleeper agent or something.

Dammit. Now I need to go out and buy Skrull Kill Krew.

Yeah I remember that FF story LOL! They used the same thing like more or less the same story in both the 60s and 90s FF cartoons ha ha!

Man I don’t know how but it does seem more and more like you know what is the case going by Bendis’ interview. Course there is always writers screwing with us and so on.

The entire interview is a spoiler for New Avengers BTW, and during the interview he gives away the season finale of Sopranos too kind of if you still haven’t seen that. :sweat:

Hello,
Has anyone read Marvel Zombies? (I have a good friend who is a freakish zombie fan) and would you recommend it as a gift? Does it have good storylines, battles, artwork (I have seen the covers but not the book), and dialog?

marvel zombies is great.

aren’t you glad i forced you into reading WWH DS? now go pick up the planet hulk HC

I hate you, Ever. <3

I’ll pick up the HC soon. Maybe tomorrow, since I have spare money to throw out.

do it. you’ll thank me for it. not just because it’s a great read, but it’ll make you forget WW3 completely.

Check out X-Men #196

I would definitely get to your friend as a gift, the humor is alittle dark but otherwise enjoyable, didn’t really have alot of battles but you get the past issues of Ultimate Fantastic four where the frightful four came in and check out the new issue of Blank Panther coming up on the 27th you should more Marvel Zombies than you can handle. I still the art in the Ultimate Fantastic Four was alittle better that of Marvel Zombies hardcover.

So how 'bout them thar Thunderbolts?

Seems kind of interesting to me, a book following the adventures of a bitch-ass team of Pro-Regs, hunting down heroes. I skimmed the last book out with Steel Spider being crazy and what-not, and it looked pretty interesting. I really wanna see them get their asses to handed to them. I’ll probably start picking this one up.

So what’s the deal with this new Venom? I guess, it’s the guy that was Scorpion, right? How’d he get a symbiote?

Loooooong story short (and even this explanation won’t be that short…) Eddie Brock was dying of cancer because the suit sapped adrenaline from the guy for years making him weak. Which is why it always wanted to recombine with Spider-Man, he puts out lots of adrenaline due to Spidey powers and he could take it, Eddie or no normal human can. Anyway, the minute he lost the suit he was dying, so when they recombined only the suit was keeping him alive. Eddie Brock auctioned off the suit regretting his past and attempted suicide by slitting his wrists sending him into a coma. The suit went to a mafia guy who gave it to his son, his son died while using the suit, it then approached Scorpion and he became the new Venom.

Eddie Brock is making a return in an upcoming issue of Spectacular Spider-Man and is supposed to be Venom again somehow at least for a little while, he’s in the same hospital as Aunt May…

So does the person in question do you know what? Please don’t ask me to look for an issue 4 months old, my comics are all over the freaking place until that magical time twice a year when I organize my comics. :rofl:

Ah, I see. Well, Mystique uses her powers in that one, so she is still a mutant.

Okay thanks. I either forgot about it or accidentally missed an issue. :smile:

Terry Moore will write Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane when Mckeever’s run ends! Excuse my while I breakdance lol!

Amazing Spider-Man will start shipping three times a month after One More Day WHOA… Friendly and Sensational will get the axe and it will just be Amazing 3 times a month. It seems like Mary Jane as Jackpot might happen instead of a divorce / death and I’m all for that one, but that’s just how it seems right now heh. Anyhow interview -

Ahhh, I see … :confused:
So he auctioned it? That sounds kind of strange, if he was regretting his past. You’d think he’d try to get rid of it permanently or something.

Gargan must be a lot crazier than Eddie or something, cuz he doesn’t seem to have that much control over it.

I don’t think you can get rid of the suit permanently, or at least Eddie Brock couldn’t. That thing’s been burned to smithereens, recieved a poison death touch which reduced it to nothing and it still managed to come back and find Eddie Brock somehow. Before they rebonded the symbiote was randomly jumping people and murdering them by sapping their adrenaline out of their bodies. So by his actions he sort of aided in reducing the death count by a bit, in a way I guess.

Eddie donated all of the money he got for it to a charity if memory serves, so he wanted to do some good before he hung it all up. Deep down he’s never really been a bad guy, well compared to I dunno let’s say Doom I guess. Even at his worst he was always worried about innocents and so on.

Oh, man… The '90s. Venom and his “innocents.” That always bugged me. His characterization didn’t make much sense to me, even when I was a kid. He was always saying stuff like, “Spider-Man, we are going to eat your brain!” and then Aunt May would walk in and Venom would be all, “Oh, but not right now. Your sweet aunt is so… INNOCENT.”

That’s just weird, man. Weird. I think Venom works best as just a twisted psycho with no real motivation other than to eat Spider-Man’s brain. When they started making him team up with Spidey to fight Carnage, it was getting a little too far fetched even by Marvel Universe logic.

Then there was that Venom series. I remember it had a red, shiny, foil or holografix cover. I think it was called Lethal Protector. That was just bad. He went to San Francisco and teamed up with a bunch of bums living underneath Golden Gate Park and became an anti-hero social worker? Silly '90s.

And I wouldn’t even consider Doom to be a really evil “bad guy.” I mean, in his mind, he’s just doing what he thinks is best for his country. I’m not saying that just because you believe you’re right makes you right, but it at least shows that he’s still trying to do good for somebody. It’s not like he goes around bombing anyone just because he can. Doom is sort of like… Namor, or perhaps the Panther. Just a lot less benevolent and a lot more vengeful. Remember, man-- Doom went to ground zero and cried after 9/11. Doom CRIED! Kingpin, Doc Ock, and Magneto were there, too. But you know who wasn’t?

The Red Skull. Now THAT is an evil, evil man. Damn Nazis. I hate 'em!!!
