2 Minute Recap and Discussion Topics
Black Goliath #1-5
- Series just sort of ends.
- The tragic life of a comic collector. Sometimes stories weren’t finished properly, or at all. Cancellations happened all too regularly.
- New to being Goliath. Wasn't fairing very well but kept at it
- Balancing being a scientist and being a hero.
- LATER… Casual sex and casual misogyny.
Marvel Team-Up #59 and #60
- Team Up books. What and why?
- Quick moving story with surprising depth
- The Wasp’s powers
- Yellowjacket dead... Until he isn't
- Claremont and Byrne
- Hank and Janet don't have the best relationship even here
Wasp #1-4
- Respecting the original origin and stories, but updating and expanding them
- Art style is very bright and clean. Manga-influenced in style and storytelling.
- Jarvis has a big role
- Janet in this series feels like Hope Van Dyne from the MCU
