God yes, Blink is amazing! I'm sad the bar doesn't have more Exiles characters in.

(DIBS ON NAMORA IF THIS BECOMES A THING.)

NAMORA!

Namora! Oh, god, I ADORE her. Big time Marvel person here, as should be obvious (I'm She-Hulk's mun).

Ah, Namora. And Namorita. And Namor.

IMPERIUS REGINA!

The whole sexy family!

Stupid Hyperion, that was such a lame way to die. I choose to believe she's just resting. TOO AWESOME FOR YOUR STUPID EYE-BEAMS.

Hyperion!

Man, Exiles crack with Hyperion IS THE BEST. Did you read Supreme Power? The MAX version of Hyperion, Dr. Spectrum, etc.?

Great reading! That proved to me that JMS can still write when he really wants to. I haven't seen such good worldbuilding since...well...his B5 days.

Dr. Spectrum as a nigh sociopath, looking like a young and touseled Robert Redford, making out with a blue skinned mutant woman and slaughtering innocent Bolivian peasants? All kinds of win.

I wish we had Exiles characters in bar. I wish we had more Marvel, period.

I also loved Exiles!Vision, because he was so goddamned hardcore and bitter.

(And DC, too.)

I didn't read that one. Should check it out.

I didn't really hardcore get back into comics until this past year and a half or so... So I'm playing a lot of catch-up.

Samples of Supreme Power.

I highly recommend it. Really, I sat down and read the entire run again last week, and it's just excellent. There were only eighteen issues, all out in trade, and then the series was rebooted/continued in the Squadron Supreme title, which was published (and still is) in Marvel's Marvel Knights imprint, which is for teens, meaning age fifteen plus. Not quite the MAX format of eighteen plus in age - so less graphic violence and sex - but still pretty damn good, and still with JMS writing. Sophisticated plotlines, dark tone, lots of politics, and GORGEOUS art by Gary Frank, both in Supreme Power and Squadron Supreme.

The good people of scans_daily have posted scans numerous times.

You can find them all right here. (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/tag/supreme+power)

The premise of Supreme Power was/is a very, very dark interpretation of the Superman/Justice League mythos, set in a very realistic world, using Marvel characters. It's set on an Earth where the first generation of superheroes and mutants is just coming into being, circa 2004-2007. It's riotously funny and wrenchingly dark, sometimes in the space of a single page.

Enjoy!

PS - this is obviously turning into the most colorful thread, iconwise, that Milliways has ever seen.

You're gonna force me to bust out Photoshop just so I don't lose, aren't you?

Bigby!

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yeah.

*manic-yet-evil unhinged laughter*

I've been meaning to have She-Hul tag Eros for some time now, btw. I thought it would be...well, cracky.

(DIFFERENT JOURNAL DOESN'T COUNT)

Pretty much everything involving She-Hulk is pretty cracky, isn't it?

Re: Bigby!

[kali921.livejournal.com]

In her canon? YES!

At Milliways? I HOPE SO.
