i have to disagree with your reveiw of nova he didn’t feel burn out, he WAS he was running around space planet to planet since the end of Annihilation 6 and even then he still did’t want to it was more like if he didn’t go an rest for a day or two he be dead

plus to shut Worldmind up

it felt like you just skim over it

ugh. really? i’m not up on she-hulk, although i often stop and ponder upon it. anyways, what i mean to say is world war hulk is not looking like anything more than another excuse for marvel to pimp out a top artist to draw about a million pointless splash pages and then wrap everything up at the end and nullify the point of the entire stupid horse and pony show.

i can see it now: final issue, last page. bruce banner standing naked among the wreckage…. crying, of course “dear god, what have i done?” enter reincarnated captain america to pat him on the shoulder “easy, soldier… easy.”

there you go, marvel. when do i get my commission?

I thought She-Hulk 17 was pretty decent. Though Marvel’s solicitations were a bit over-enthusiastic: She-Hulk finally finding out what really happend to her cousin? That won’t actually happen ’til next issue. Shouting “Did you just say Bruce/launch?” doesn’t really equal a full briefing…

RE: She-Hulk. UH. I have a serious problem with this issue. Nevermind the light touch review on the She-Hulk sleeping around issue.

You have an employee sleeping with a supervisor AT THE WORK SITE!!!. Let’s nevermind the fact that one is a LAWYER (WHO REALLY SHOULD KNOW BETTER) and the other the HEAD OF A CORPORATION (did Stark ever step down as head of his company?) (WHO ALSO REALLLY SHOULD KNOW BETTER!)

And then She-Hulk just stands there yapping away instead of making an effort to get dressed? (”It’s ok really. I regenerate from my injuries. did you not read the recent issue where I teamed up with Wolverine?”)
HEY SKANK! WHAT ABOUT YOUR FELLOW AGENTS?? YOU THINK A LITTLE DECORUM WOULD BE NICE!”

It would serve them both right if a video showed up on the Internet in the Marvel Universe. (”I thought you said the Extremis would alert you to monitoring devices!” “I was distracted-duh!”)

There are flashes of good stuff here, but not enough to blind ones logic. One could reason that these are JUST COMICS, but come on! Bad, Bad issue!
To whoever wants the job of straightening out Tony Stark’s character…forget this issue! No, really.

For completeness’ sake :
“The child of the stars” (l’enfant des étoiles) is the 7th volume of the Thorgal series (29 volumes to date).
The first edition of this particular volume was first published in France by Lombard in 1984. Other editors may have handled other European editions.

Rosinski is Polish, Van Hamme is Belgium.

Gee thanks Adan. While we’re patting each other on the back, I especially dug the All-Star good son/bad son bit.

I just want to give some props to Jon, the Scans part Picks, Pans, and Scans. He always writes those little blurbs on the front page that links to the column, and “Me am the Goddamn Bizarro” is just fucking inspired. Way to go Jon.
