Also... with all the coming back to life and superscience and magic in the DC Universe NOTHING could fix her legs... They actually addressed this at one point (might have even been Gail who did it), with Barbara herself saying that she wasn't going to accept any form of medical, magical or technological treatment that her friends could offer her, as it wouldn't be fair to all the other paralyzed people around the world. If they could find a way to make a treatment that was readily available to everyone, only then would she take it. And then the Nu52 happened, and she just underwent treatment at some random hospital in Africa. So either paralysis is now a thing of the past in the DCU, or screw that whole 'equality' thing, I guess.

This should be a surprise to no one...
Pretty much everyone has been calling it being Cho since they revealed it...

I love how they're "going to explore Banner's life without being the Hulk." they've done that story, what 3 times in the last 15 years?

the "Amadeus Cho is amazing" principle? Yeah, pretty much. I'd rather he was still hanging with Hercules, but this book could be fun short term (it never lasts having anyone else be someone else)

Especially since Amadeus Cho isn't featured anywhere in the MCU at all (though his mom was in Age of Ultron). Not quite. He was part of the Avengers books during Time Runs Out, for a bit, being hunted down for being an accomplice to the Illuminati. And he got a backup story in the first issue of the Planet Hulk SW mini, where he *becomes* a Hulk. Heck, Greg Pak - who hasn't done any regular work at Marvel for a while now - created Cho (and also wrote that SW backup). So this had ground in reality. (And as a fun side note, look at the name of the artist of this new Hulk book. )

The first issue of Journey to the Force Awakens was pretty damn good. I know it's become a common thing to say, but Marvel's killing it with Star Wars.
Although they need to stop putting in advertisements that are way out of date. They've got ads in Journey and Vader for Star Wars Masterwork, it even says in stores in February. Yeah, the cards came out in February of 2015, if you can actually find a box buy it. When they first went up for pre-order you could get a box for under just $200. They've since went up to around $300. Something tells me they had no trouble moving that product, probably should have done an ad for the Journey to The Force Awakens set.

I started reading Section 8... and I haven't liked the first two issues like at all. Which surprised me because from the previews I saw of it I liked... edit: Ok the third issue was much better still may drop it but it's safer now then it was... double edit: alright the Wonder Woman issue was great... so it's probably safe... for now -_-

Renew Your Vows#5 was great. Wonder what it means going forward if the RYV family are intact?
I'll probably get the trade as a christmas present. First Spidey trade I've bought in a while. Well done Slott.
Daily strip MJ stood up to Namor today too, so a nice bit of badassery from her on both fronts this week

Was anyone else expecting something Secret Wars-like interrupting the happy ending of RYV? Or was that just me?
