comics, specifically the new ultimates

[mymatedave10]

The art was nice, not great but nice. And that's pretty much the only half decent thing you can say about it.

The writing... my god, the writing. Wanda/Pietro having *canon* incest?!?

I... may actually have to go back to the comic shop and return it, that's how bad it is. I can not stand to have it infesting my house.

*shudders and tries to repress*

Eeep, that sounds a bit traumatic.

Closer kin, deeper in.
If you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in the family.
The family that lays together, stays together.
Nothin' says lovin' like a sister or a cousin.

With that said. I shall now add: "Ew."

I shall also ask: "Is it consensual?"

I shall then ask: "Assuming it is, is it really? I mean, like, will you find out in a few issues one or both are being mindfrakked that no one knows about until much later (like after the writers get lots of hate mail and go retconning)?"

Then comes the question: "Could there be a shape-shifter involved?"

And finally: "Did they at least enjoy it?"

Ain't I helpful to your mental well being?

I personally already see this as a retcon, pietro being protective of his sister as is already a thing, but he's protective of his friends as well.

Ultimates 2 #13 for example, Mark Millar might be 'weird' sometimes, but at least he knew that they were all friends or friendly team mates.

Being protective of someone and needing to use protection with them are two different things... and if they're not, I need to sign up as a bodyguard.

Gah, too much retcon in comics, I'm glad I'm out of that biz now. Plus it saves me a few hundred bucks a month. Just, gah.

Scary stuff anymore, huh?
