KAREN IN SOMETHING OTHER THAN TIGHT DRESSES AND HEELS IS A THING I WANT. On a slightly related note. Like, some comfy jeans and soft sweaters for Karen, please.
Ok, so, just to be clear, Foggy and the Purple Man have never interacted in the comics? I'm not very familiar with the comics at all and these prompts have got me wondering.
It's possible it happened once since Matt has taken on the Purple Man before. But not that I can remember. Foggy only ever comes into contact with other heroes or villains in the comics infrequently.
And I can't imagine if he did it would have been for more than a panel or two.
Does anyone remember where to find that fic on the kinkmeme where Matt and the Avengers find out Foggy used to date Victor von Doom? I can't seem to find it :/
I'm just curious as to how many of us there are on here. If you see this and you ship Matt and Frank, add a +1 in the comments! Also say why you like it if you want. ;)
For a place like L&Z, he may get something bespoke? There are a lot of men's clothiers that deal in bespoke suits near (but not in) the Kitchen. I don't know anything about them, but I like the name of Saint Laurie Merchant Tailors.
You get this a teensy bit at the flashback in Josie's where they agree to set up Nelson & Murdock. But I agree, I need moooore. I'd love to see Matt on a date but not in a suit clothes. Swoon.
I dunno man I found some parts of it a little too much for me? I liked Matt's interaction with his new sidekick! "boss-man", ha, I'm working Blindspot into my fic next time, I like him. not so sure on the apparent friend break-up between Foggy and Matt and the fact that something apparently happened that Matt's secret identity reveal got reset and Matt had a hand in it. which is just. I don't know if I can buy that.
I'm upset I don't see Kirsten anywhere. like, where's my girl? why's Matt's support network suddenly just gone or mad at him? I do not like this. I demand fix-its.
I feel like it was obvious that it was going to happen though.
Which is fair - comics do this all the time - girlfriends disappear, relationships change, characters' entire circumstances completely shift. It's why I find it so strange that we have fanon'd so much comics canon into our fandom. The show's not going to care. The comics themselves often don't care. So why are we getting so attached to concepts that are so fluid to the people who create the thing?
I trust Soule. He made me love Jennifer Walters/Patsy Walker friendship in She-Hulk, and he's usually pretty solid about character relationships and characterization. And I really love Blindspot. So we'll see... I'm either not expecting a Kirsten return, or anticipating we will get a throwaway reference to what happened there at a later point and that's it.
SA, but can I also say that Marvel is freakin' killing it post-Secret Wars? Because I had to prioritize Daredevil over reading Doctor Strange, Invincible Iron Man, All-New All-Different Avengers AND Vision this week and it actually was hard! Plus, Totally Awesome Hulk came out and it is also freakin' great. And Red Wolf.
So yeah... I encourage all DD fans to also pick up Marvel's new post-Secret Wars series, because damn if they aren't all really truly great, and light and fun and keeping with the general action-adventure tone that Mark Waid set with his DD volume waaaaay back when they launched Marvel Now. They clearly learned their lesson from the success of that run and translated it everywhere else.
I feel like Secret Wars shook everyone up and it makes sense to me that Matt would shut down and hide in his secrets under stress if given the opportunity. He has been dealing with having no privacy or safety for his loved ones since 1985 and with the press hounding him since 2001. At this point that plot has run dry and even though at the end of volume 4 he was ready to be brave.....like given the chance to reset on something that caused you no less than six total mental breakdowns, like suicidal ideation, hallucinations, debilitating depression, probably mania...wouldn't you take it? I can see why Foggy would be angry after all the shit he has been through in dealing with Matt's life not being private and Matt just assuming that Foggy will still be his lifeline after the shit he pulled but I understand where Matt is coming from even though we don't know what happened yet.
Unfortunately Matt's girlfriends come and go :/ I suspect he made her forget too when he did whatever shenanigans he did.
OP: I so agree! I am not reading the same ones as you (time constraints + still backreading Daredevil vol 1) but both All New Hawkeye and Deadpool (which I was following both prior to the hiatus) are killing it. I wanna catch up on Rocket Raccoon too because Skottie Young killed it with Giant Size Little Marvel AvX this summer.
Does Totally Awesome Hulk fall in line with Waid's run of Indestructible Hulk? That was a fantastic run.
Also is Hank Pym anywhere? I have been looking for him but I am concerned he is still floating in Ultrons head in space.
Totally Awesome Hulk is pretty different if only because Amadeus Cho is now the Green guy. But the principal of a character who actually enjoys being the Hulk is the same. :)
Skottie Young is about to take over Rocket Raccoon AND Groot! So I'm excited for that too.
Supposedly Rage of Ultron is set post-Secret Wars, so if that's true then there's your answer. He hasn't shown up or been mentioned in any other new plot to my knowledge yet. It may be that he, much like the Fantastic Four, Namor and the X-Men, may simply be a character who Marvel has decided to backburner on account of being unable to really line him up with their movie universe version of him at all and him being pretty problematic in the comics.
Which is too bad. Because I enjoyed Michael Douglas a bunch in the Ant-Man movie, love Hank Pym as a character and was hoping they could maybe find a way to reconcile the two. :(
Oh ok. Well I just liked in particular the way Bruce Banner was portrayed but thank you! I may check it out anyway.
I love Skottie Young SO much. Like honestly so underrated. Every time I read a book he's on it's like eating cake. And his baby variant cover for Daredevil has been my phone's background for months!
I'm personally very frustrated because I think Hank Pym as a character if you look at his overall history is a great character and has been written especially well in the last five years in Avengers Academy and Avengers A.I. and Ant Man vs. The Wasp and Waid's Daredevil run. And he was diagnosed as bipolar and it was done WELL and then they basically immediately killed him off and I was Not Pleased.
Goodness a Michael Douglas inspired Hank Pym! Delightful!
