Heroes for Hire by Khary Randolph & Emilio Lopez.
This needs to happen, obviously, but who is that woman on the bottom left? I can’t tell and it’s driving me crazy.
Throughout this story in BLONDE PHANTOM #17, the Sub-Mariner is sporting a shirt with a giant “S.” Did this last for one issue only?
Is this from an Amalgam book?
(A Namor/Superman character would make a twisted kind of sense.)
Was there a Star Trek: Generations reference in there too, am I just too big a nerd?
(P.S. The X-Men don’t use a quinjet. P.P.S. I am too big a nerd.)
This Fearless Defenders cover is incredible.
In fact, all the covers for this series have been great. If only it was the same artist on the interiors…
My Review of Marvel Comics: The Untold Story
It’s really good! Also I talk a lot about the generation gap or some shit.
You should read my review! And then the book!
Unredeemingly violent and willfully unassimilated, the sneering Sub-Mariner was the reverse negative of the alien-as-immigrant-hero Superman.
- Sean Howe, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story page 14. A perfect summation of why Namor specifically, and Marvel generally, were so different.
Stan Lee the Player
I recently finished reading Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe.
I wrote an actual review that is on its way, but first a few facts about Stan Lee that I learned. Like how he spent the 1940s living the high life until he convinced an already married model to marry him.

A Thought on Uncanny Avengers #5 and Identity
If you follow comics, you may have heard about a scene in Uncanny Avengers #5 that made a lot of people uncomfortable, and about how poorly-chosen Rick Remender’s response was. I took a minute to tie the ideas being discussed back to the genesis of the superhero comic. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
