With Bachalo's style I wonder if we can see the Hood get his ass whipped a-la-giallo. Maybe somebody can hammer a blessed spike into the bum's face, hampering much of his powers.

Preview for New Avengers #52

Interesting.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I hate seeing Strange so helpless. Maybe now that he's not tied down by the mantle of "Sorcerer Supreme", he can finally start learning some darker a.k.a useful magic. Take Wiccan with him

Didn't Dr. Strange learn black magic before he fought Shuma Gorath. I still think he should make an enchanted spike and hammer it into the Hood's face. Have it hamper his ability to turn invisible and such.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

There're probably a ton of cool spells Strange could use to make his life a hell of a lot easier but it's pretty obvious that Bendis hates him.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

ahhhhhhh yes nothing sums up marital bliss as "
"i'm the Son of Satan baby!I've been to hell and it was lot better than being married to you" sounds exactly like my ex-wife. god rest her.. ummm i mean god bless hehe

His white magic was already pretty useful. Bendis just refuses to write him well.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Wonder why he hates him so much

 

[Belvedere]

Somwhere BKV must be dieing inside a little watching The Hood and Dr Strange (who I think he wrote better than anyone has for a long while) being basterdized.

It was good to see Hellstrom in his old costume and none of that Hellstorm crap with the midget pitchfork and mask. Just stick to the demonic circle on your chest and everything will be fine.


So is he going to be the Son of the real Satan or is that Modru retcon thingy still in effect?

i'm not sure it's been awhile since i read anything with him in it. i agree with you just keep the pentagram and circle on the chest and it's all good.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hellstorm: one of the few corporate characters Warren Ellis actually improved by completely ignoring his previous characterization.

 

[Franklin Richards]

NOT!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wasn't it during Ellis' run that he started sporting the pentagram scar and being all hyper-gothic and more dark occult than fantastical magic?

 

[Franklin Richards]

He just restored him to Defender status quo. I don't remember who turned him into that masked dork with the garden tool.

Who was writing West Coast Avengers early?

EDIT --- Englehart. Fumble on that one.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wait, so Ellis was actually being true to at least one existing incarnation of the character? What you're saying does not compute.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Well sorta. He added a bit of angst. He also added more of the Goth look from the 90's.


So you can believe your CPU... Ellis had to change it some.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Order is restored to my world.

100% agree. how awesome would it be if BKV wrote a Hood/Dr. Strange story... maybe about the search for the Sorcerer Supreme.

 

[Havok83]

I really have no interest in this Sorcerer Supreme plot. It seems out of place here and has no business being in this title. I could see this in a mini though

 

[bryanss3]

I know what you mean. it seems like another excuse for NA to fight the Hood again.

 

[Havok83]

Im surprised Dr. Strange is still around. He worked post-CW, but I thought that would have just been a temproary thing. He's feeling kind of forced now

 

[Mr. Green]

It pretty much spelled out exactly why it does have business being in this title in the last issue.

Other than the fact that Strange was a part of the NA and lost his spot as SS helping them, he also needs to track down/fight the Hood who is connected to Osborn and the NA need to try to prove the Osborn/Hood connection.

Even though I want Strange to remain the SS, I've gotta say that this is one of the more interesting story arcs recently. Bachelo's art has been incredible too.

 

[bryanss3]

Yeah but that connection is weak still I mean right now the Hood is going up against the Punisher, messing with the Marvel Zombies, and soon will be in charge of the Initiative. So why aren't they involved. This story would be more interesting if it didn't follow such a formula. the last issue of the arc is where we'll see the big fight and new SS.
