"What I get a kick out of is that he's not quoting Hulk from the movies.
He's quoting silver or bronze age comic books. Hulk's well known catch phrase and common situations from his Tales to Astonish run and onward.
What…"
"Also, she'd be a terrific assassin. She could sit down in the same cafe as her assassin, form a small force field in his brain, and kill him with an aneurysm. Then she pays her bill and leaves."
"I haven't read any of the comics, but I used the old google-fu to come up with these answers, so take the accuracy with a grain of salt."
"An invisible SHIELD agent seems like a natural."
"It was revealed after I stopped reading Marvel comprehensively (2010) that Sue Richards had been an agent of SHIELD either in the past or in the present. I don't know, because I didn't read it. So help me with this:
When and were was it…"
"I agree! And there's nothing *wrong* with the series, per se. But I didn't find it compelling enough to pay to read it immediately, when I'm already paying to read it (and all Marvel titles) 6 months down the line. (Few Marvel titles…"
"Sorry to hear that. IW has been overlooked for 58 years, and deserves her due."
"I've lost an inch! Seriously!"
"The Invisible Woman series is decent, but didn't completely grab me; I read the first one, and decided to wait for Marvel Unlimited for the rest. For some reason, the painted art kept me at arm's length. (It reminds me a bit of Phil…"
"I'll one up you, John. I announced Action Lad's birth on the old Board almost 15 years ago, and now he's taller than me. I'm not only getting older, I'm apparently getting shorter, too!"
"I did not know that! That is awesome.
You started the thread at this version of the Comics Cave the day before I turned 40, and now I'm 50! So yes, we are old!"
"Waid had a really good take on the FF a few years back. I'm going to pick up issue #1 this weekend if I can find one.
I'm on the fence about Loki. Feels like treading familiar ground. Don't know anything about…"
"Fun fact: I added that thread over ten years ago, yes, but I was carrying it over from the same thread from the old board, which was also really long, and probably started before my time there.
We’re getting old!"
"I'm curious about those books, too!"

Hello John,
I may be out of line here but in regards with your exchange with Mark, we both know how he feels about Marvel now. We've both know that his opinion has not and probably will not change though I hope it does. Despite previous advice, I have no doubt that he will continue to comment on how "evil" the Marvel heroes are whenever he can.
However, he has had some medical problems and he has left here before thinking no one wants him here. That's something that I am hoping to avoid. I'm not blaming you for ANYTHING, let me make that clear. I am only trying to prevent another round of the same debate that apparently caused hard feelings before.
You won't change his mind and challenging him about it will only make him defensive, as past interactions show us. If steered clear from the topic of Marvel's Post-Civil War period, he seems happier.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again I'm not faulting you at all. Merely trying to keep the peace, as they say.
With all respect and best wishes,
Philip
