TIL Venom got his name after being forced to write ‘venomous’ celebrity scandal stories after Peter Parker ruined his journalistic reputation

Excuse me for dropping in - I was searching for Buddhism and found your post! Do have a Buddhist centre in your area? You don’t need to do any research or acquire special knowledge beforehand- just turn up, learn as you go, and see what you think! Good luck ☺️

FINAL PANEL: Wasp names The Avengers, then Iron Man says:

“We’ll fight together, or separately, if need be!”

Absolutely the most hilarious thing he could have said at this moment. The fact that he looks like Bender really makes this feel like a Matt Groening-style ‘we learnt nothing’ denouement.

At one point I zoned out and then this was happening. Literally no idea what’s going on anymore.

More relatable content from the hulk

Uh oh! First spoken line of dialogue by a woman in an Avengers comic goes BADLY.

This dude belongs to the TEEN BRIGADE and he tries to call the Fantastic Four but misdials the number and *that* is how the Avengers were formed.

Also, look, he *almost* performs a haiku:

Contact me pronto
Before any innocent jokers
Get hurt real bad

Here Hulk takes a moment to contemplate how human suffering is so often the result of the fictional narratives we trap ourselves in.

Always ahead of his time, Loki, imprisoned in some dimension or whatever, invents the 21st Century working-from-home grindset.

First of all, massive congratulations to ANT MAN for making it to the starting lineup - can’t believe MCU tricked me into thinking this was a joke character and not in fact the George Washington of masked superheroics.

Also, I know I have a major Twin Peaks confirmation bias BUT Cocoon often reminded me of TP, especially The Return! The bugs, the orbs, the tubes, the machinery, "the dreamer who dreams, then lives inside the dream". Lots of echoes here- would love to know if any were intentional!

So sad to hear this! I heard you speak on a panel a few years ago and used to follow you when I was on twitter — I always considered you deeply kind and insightful and full of passion for your work. I hope this wound heals quickly — you don’t deserve it, and your work makes the world brighter!

I hope @malloryomeara.bsky.social sees this!

It’s SO good! So clear and thoughtful - Chapter 2 is such a brilliant resource alone. Really validates and surfaces (new favourite word!) the contribution every department/discipline makes, and articulates it all so well. It’s like going to the kitchen and finding every utensil laid out for you ☺️
