Brian Catch Up Game!
Here's a way to get me caught up at Snark Free Waters! I will start a 20-day game!
NAME THAT IRON MAN ARTIST!
Since Jack Kirby drew the first Iron Man strip, there have been twenty pencillers to draw Iron Man between then and when Denny O'Neil took over the book with issue #160.
I will post a panel a day from each of the artists. You all just have to identify the artists!
Yay!

Top Five Firestorm Covers
In the height of laziness, I am just copying something I posted in reply to a post by Mike Sterling at Progressive Ruin.
So, with no further ado, are my top five favorite Firestorm covers!!
5. Firestorm (current) #18
That's a creepy image, no?
4. Firestorm (first series) #2
Always fun to see Superman be a jerk on a comic book cover
3. Firestorm (second series) #77
I always just remember this cover being so striking. The kiss looks so WEIRD!
2. Firestorm (second) #4
It's the JLA attacking Firestorm while he's with Killer Frost! Pat Broderick could occasionally rule!
1. Firestorm (second) #50
Denys Cowan and Firestorm are not two things I would put together in my mind, but darnit, it works!
Feel free to share your favorite Firestorm covers!

Nagging Thoughts for 3/19
What's Black Knight up to nowadays?
How about Sersi?
That story where they went into the past, did that explain why Black Knight and Sersi are no longer an item?
Wasn't it kinda weird that Black Knight, in Avengers, was all "heroes sometimes have to kill," but when he was in Ultraforce, he was all, "heroes don't kill"?

Since Blogger Is Too Busy - Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #42
This is the forty-second in a series of examinations of comic book urban legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous forty-one.
Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Gerry Conway did not intend to include the "snap" in the death of Gwen Stacy
STATUS: False
One of the most controversial issues in comic book history was Amazing Spider-Man #121, which featured the death of Peter Parker's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.
One of the most controversial aspects of the comic was HOW Gwen died. As seen in the following panel, there was a tiny snap when Spider-Man attempts to snare her after she has been tossed off a bridge by the Green Goblin.
It is not clear in the comic whether she was actually killed by the snap to hear neck or shock from falling. In fact, the Green Goblin actually argues that it WASN'T the snap that did her in, yelling to Spider-Man, "Romantic idiot! She was dead before your webbing reached her! A fall from that height would kill anyone—before they struck the ground!"
In fact, in a bizarre event rarely seen in comic of the day, Marvel took the letter column of #125 to specifically address the death of Gwen Stacy (also, to defend Stan Lee and Gerry Conway). Part of the piece was, in a way, a comic book autopsy. The column reads,
In fact, in some reprints of the story, the little "snap" noise has been excised. Stan Lee (in Comic Buyers Guide #1277) even expressed some unease with the idea of her neck snapping, "I wasn't aware of that. To me, that's a little too - I don't think we have to know her neck snapped, you know what I mean?"
Therefore, perhaps BECAUSE of this unease, for awhile, different creators involved with the issue, from artist Gil Kane to letterer Artie Simek even to Art Director, John Romita, were rumored to have added the little "snap" sound effect.
However, at the end of the day, Gerry Conways admits that it was part of his initial story idea.
In Tom DeFalco's book of interviews, Comics Creators on Spider-Man, Gerry Conway speaks of including the snap, and how "It's one of a very few inspired moments in my career when my subconscious mind made a choice that meant so much more than my conscious mind ever intended."
So, if you want to blame, or praise, someone for the snap, blame/praise Gerry Conway.
(Thanks to Peter Sanderson for the Conway quote, Al Sjoerdsma for the Lee quote and Arnold T. Blumberg for the quote from #125)
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: The woman who was the titular basis for Kitty Pryde has since changed her name due to unwanted comic book fan attention.
STATUS: True
Kitty Pryde made her debut in Uncanny X-Men #129, in late 1979. Her co-creator, John Byrne, has never hid the fact that her name was based upon a classmate of his at art school.
But what's interesting is what happened to the "real" Kitty Pryde AFTER the X-Men Kitty Pryde was introduced.
In a story from the Calgary Sun by Louis B. Hobson (courtesy of The Cat Box, which is now twice in one week that I have cited The Cat Box...freaky)
It all happened back in 1973 when she was a student at the Alberta College of Art in Calgary. One of her classmates was John Byrne who would go on to become one of the more prolific writer/artists for Marvel Comics.
Ulimately, in the early 90s, in an attempt to regain her anonymity, Pryde began going by the name K.D. Pryde.
I will save you any horrible reference to her wanting to sometimes be able to walk through walls to get away from the attention.
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Apocalypse was originally going to be the Owl.
STATUS: True
In the early issue of X-Factor, writer Bob Layton introduced a number of new villains, starting with #2 and Tower...
then Frenzy in #4...
leading to the revelation that the two were in a team, The Alliance of Evil, along with two other members, Timeshadow and Stinger.
At the end of the issue, we meet their mystery "master," who, although shrouded in shadows, is clearly a big fella.
In the next issue, we learn that the villain is Apocalypse, who would go on to become a significant X-Men villain (currently fighting the X-Men in their comic as you read this).
However, the mystery "master" was NOT meant to be Apocaylpse and that last page was not initially in the comic. No, it was going to be former Daredevil villain, the OWL!
You see, in issue #6, Louise Simonson took over the writing chores on X-Factor, and she preffered to have the mystery villain be a NEW villain to add to the mutant mythos, so Layton, on the way out, was asked to have it changed, and he, being a sporting soul, did so.
Imagine The Age of Owl!!! That would have been awesome!!
(I checked with Layton for confirmation of the story, and he confirmed it).
Well, that's it for this week, thanks for stopping by!

it saddens us to have to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey's webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her. In short, it was impossible for Peter to save her. He couldn't have swung down in time; the action he did take resulted in her death; if he had done nothing, she still would certainly have perished. There was no way out.However, the snapping action is different than literally having her neck snap.

“I first noticed John in our (still-life) classes. While the rest of us were drawing the nudes, John would be making sketches of Superman and Spiderman. One day he told me he loved my name and promised when he became famous at Marvel Comics, he’d name his first character after me.” Pryde thought nothing of the compliment.
In 1980 when when she was living and working in Toronto, Pryde received a package in the mail. It contained one page of Byrne’s original sketches for his Kitty Pryde character plus a signed copy of the comic book it eventually became. He’d signed it: “To Kitty, the real one. Thanks for the use of the name.” The X-Men comics became one of Marvel’s best sellers.
Kitty eventually morphed into an action figure like so many of her mutant friends. “Kitty started out as a young girl with superhuman powers. By the time they created her action figure, she’d become a major chick. She may bear my name, but she wasn’t modelled after me. I only wish I had knockers like that,” jokes Pryde.
Ulimately, in the early 90s, in an attempt to regain her anonymity, Pryde began going by the name K.D. Pryde.

Which 3/15 Books Did You Have No Snark For?
Which books released this Wednesday did you have no snark for?
I had no snark for the last issue of Seven Soldiers: Bulleteer, which I found to be a very effective final issue.
I also have no snark for Superman #650, Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns' first issue on the title, with the One Year Later storyline.

I'd Have Given Captain Marvel Black Widow's Role in Harras' Avengers
If you reread Bob Harras' Avengers run, you'll notice two things...
1. It wasn't all that powerful of an Avengers team
and
2. Black Widow really doesn't DO much
That's why, I'd have Captain Marvel II take over as Avengers chairperson during Widow's tenure.
I do not think it would change any of Harras' stories, really, and all it would do would be give Captain Marvel II some much-needed exposure.
Well, THAT'S it for the I'ds of March!
I hope you enjoyed them!

I'd Keep Ben Reilly Alive
I don't think there was anything WRONG with Ben Reilly.
He was a decent character, he was just unfortunately the sign of a bad era in Spider-Man comics.
Still, I don't see what would have been the harm to just have someone definitively prove Ben is the clone, and then let Ben walk off into the sunset, to show up every once in awhile, and maybe die at some OTHER point in time.

I'd Not Have Had Jefferson Pierce Belong to Luthor's Cabinet
Not to pick on the Luthor presidency too much, but really, Black Lightning was an extremely weird choice to be a Secretary in the Cabinet.
The guy was a normal schoolteacher!
Not only that, but even if he DID have the qualifications, I do not think that he would ever actually WANT to work for Luthor!
I'd have kept him out of the Cabinet, or at least make it clear that he was spying on Luthor.

I'd Have Kept Dox and Stealth as a Couple
Please note that, since Stealth has not appeared since REBELS ended, she might very well still BE with Vril Dox, but, just to make sure, let me point out that I'd like to see her with Dox.
Their relationship in REBELS was a fine piece of work by Tom Peyer, as Stealth slowly realizes that she actually CARES for Vril Dox, something that, as you imagine, comes as quite a shock to Stealth!
Dox, meanwhile, can't help but be his usual self with her, so to see them involved together would be a total mess of character interaction and hilarity.
I'd love to see it happen someday.
A twisted outer space Moonlighting.
Who wouldn't like that?

I'd Have Kept Hardback Bock in the Bat-Books
One of the things that has always puzzled me was the decision to promote Hardback Bock OUT of the Bat-Books, and then replace him with Crispus Allen, who, while a good character himself, really did not present much more, character-wise, than Bock ever did.
Bock was a good character, and a nice tie to the "before No Man's Land" Gotham, and a man who managed to get THROUGH No Man's Land...and his reward is character limbo?
I think Bock deserved better, I think he deserved a role in Gotham Central.

I'd Have Kept Hawkeye Single
I enjoyed Mockingird.
I did.
I thought she was a neat character, and I liked her interaction with Hawkeye.
However, I also think that, as soon as Hawkeye and Mockingbird got together, that it created a bit of a tug upon Hawkeye, forcing him to become more and more serious, and more straight-laced.
And I think making Hawkeye mature was more of a decision made for the writers, who liked to see him develop as a character, not made in the best interests of the character.
And as a result of Hawkeye's marriage to Mockingbird, writers who WANTED a return to the Hawkeye of old had no other recourse than to get rid of Mockingbird, which is a shame, as she was a neat character.

I'd Have Not Made D-Man a Loony
I think that D-Man was a fairly noble superhero who had some enjoyable stories during Mark Gruenwald's Captain America run.
I do not think he would have made a very good Avenger, but I enjoyed the fact that Captain America asked him.
Later on, I thought it was interesting to see him become a hero for the homeless (although I did not like the way it was played for laughs in early issues of Avengers Volume 3).
Therefore, I think there is enough interesting stories in the idea of a superhero for the homeless that I would not have made D-Man, well, nuts, as he was recently in an issue of Daredevil.

I'd Have Kept Ultimate Beast Alive
I understand the concept of killing off a character to
A. Let the readers know there is some danger involved here
and
B. Let the readers know that being alive in the regular continuity will not protect you in the Ultimate line
but Beast's death in Ultimate X-Men was just too lackluster, too much of an afterthought, and also, Beast had such an impact upon the X-Men stories to that point that I think his death really took a lot out of the book - stuff that I do not think has been replaced since his death.

I'd Have a Human Hero Join the X-Men
Wouldn't that be a neat message about "everyone being equal," if a homo sapien hero joined the X-Men?
I think so, and that's what I would do (yes, there have been human heroes in the past, as recently as Juggernaut, but none NOW!).

I'd Not Have Pete Ross Be Vice-President
I'd not have had Pete Ross be Lex Luthor's running mate, for the following reasons:
1. Pete was a fill-in Senator, which would not make him a very good running mate, politically?
2. Pete almost KILLED a dude, when he was being controlled by the Sons of Liberty.
and
3. Having Pete Ross eligible for the Presidency would make him, and Clark, 35 years old, which I think is a bit too old for Superman.

I'd Have Followed Len Wein's Advice on the Ending of Watchmen
Len Wein has always stated that he did not like the ending of the Watchmen series, and I am inclined to agree with him.
As Wein mentions, the whole series was so original, so inventive, so to have an ending that was VERY similar (i.e. the same) as an ending to an Outer Limits TV show probably was not a good idea.
So I'd have followed Len Wein's advice and changed it to something - anything.

I'd Not Have Had Donna Troy Get Married and Pregnant
For a company that has not had its characters age much in sixty years, DC sure seems to sometimes want to go that way, doesn't it?
One of those problems, I think, was in the idea of aging Donna Troy. I do not think it worked with the rest of the members of the Teen Titans.
If Donna Troy is getting married and having a kid, doesn't that basically age the Titans as well?
I'd have kept her single.

I'd Have Kept the International Part of the Justice League
I never really got the problem some writers had with the concept of the Justice League working with the United Nations.
I mean, yeah, there might be some bureacracy, but not the way that some of these comic writers seemed to make it out to be.
And a nice function of the United Nations relationship is that it allowed characters like Maxwell Lord and Catherine Cobert to have an actual FUNCTION, ya know?
That was another thing I never got, the anger people had towards characters like Lord and Cobert. I thought they were interesting characters.

I'd Make Storm An Avenger
While I think it was probably a bit of crass marketing that put Storm on to the Marvel Adventures team, I think, in the regular Marvel Universe, that Storm would work really well as a member of the Avengers.
Think about it - she's already famous enough, popularity-wise, but story-wise, I think she MAY have reached the end of her rope in the X-Men. She needs to be somewhere where she can let herself go a bit, and I think the Avengers is just that place.

I'd Have Brought Black Thorn Into the Bat-Books
Nunzio DeFillipis was planning a comic book, for a time, at DC where he would bring a bunch of different street-level vigilantes into Gotham City as a team.
One of his team members was Black Thorn.
I agree with him, I'd have brought Black Thorn into the Bat-Books myself. She fits right in, doesn't she?
I'd at least bring her back in SOME book!
Maybe Checkmate?

The I'ds of March!!
New shtick!!
For the next fifteen days, I'll tell you things that I'd have done in certain comics!!
But don't worry, I'm not talking about simple 20/20 hindsight things like pick a famous bad storyline and just say, "I wouldn't have done that."
No, I mean more like tweaks and nudges, stuff like that.
You'll see what I mean in a sec....
