On the surface, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion is a story about Miles Morales returning to a very different Ultimate Universe to rescue his sister. Looking at how the story plays out, it's a promotional showcase for the various Ultimate comic titles, with Miles visiting each one in turn in the hopes of getting a reader to try out a new title. See how cool Spider-Man is in issue 1, check out Wakanda in issue 2, look at these funky X-Men is issue 3...

What's most interesting to me though, is that issue 2 is where we get a little more insight into what's up with 6160 Hank Pym. We get Killmonger saying:

and we also get Hank monologuing over "What do we do for the people we love?"

It came out over 2016-2017, several years after that'd finished - part of what Dynamite Entertainment was doing with Battlestar Galactica then.

It's a comic of something that wasn't originally a comic where the script and art aren't " This should've just been a photoplay. "

It's very neatly spliced into its source series - issue #1 opens on the " Blackbird ", the stealth Viper built in the season 2 episode Flight of the Phoenix.

Colonial Fleet-wide news echoed the note on which that'd ended - the Blackbird's construction as a reminder that " We can accomplish miracles. "

The Voice is the Ventriloquist's Scarface - the Tower is Bledin Towers, a Gotham City apartment building.

Scarface's voice is guidance - he's a symbol under which some of " Bleedin' " Towers' residents've rallied, against the City's demolition plans. They've killed one Gotham cop and taken another hostage - Jim Gordon and others're outside while Batman's made his way in.

Issue #5 had Batman finding that the Ventriloquist wasn't from where Scarface was emanating - he was in the Tower, but his tongue was cut.

Someone else was speaking the gangster's words - not the Towers resident who was apparently his second, but that man's abused wife. She'd ended #5 killing her husband because Scarface told her to - and then turning to the hostage cop, who'd been restrained witness to the act.

#6 opened on Scarface's others rushing in: " What the hell happened here?! "

( She told them. )

"The internal relationships have been the beating heart of this book since Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona created it. What I love about writing Runaways is that every character has a specific dynamic with every other character. There are the romances — Chase and Gert, Gert and Victor, Nico and Karolina; Nico and Chase’s domestic partnership; Gert and Nico’s spiky friendship; Chase’s insecurity around Victor; Karolina’s nurturing of Gib … No matter who is on the page, there are big, messy, ongoing dynamics." -- Rainbow Rowell

Jack Kirby Honored As New York Renames His Birthplace "Yancy Street"

"The corner of the Lower East Side of New York City, Essex Street and Delancey Street, the birthplace of Fantastic Four creator Jack Kirby, has been renamed today in a civic ceremony as Jack Kirby Way and Yancy Street. Jack Kirby was born and lived on that corner, at 147 Essex Street. And he paid tribute to the place he grew up, creating Yancy Street, home to Ben Grimm, The Thing. Much of the Thing's life was based on Jack Kirby and is reflected somewhat in the upcoming movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And hence the ceremony today, attended by members of Jack Kirby's family and Marvel staffers."

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Dealing with a crap-nami at work following a client applying a software update (which we DID advise against them making.. repeatedly... and as strenuously as we were allowed), so must leave this VERY short, alas.
