......... What the fuck?

...

Wow.

How do you think the whole pop singer side will be taken?

Isn't K-Pop pretty popular?

The big question is the overlap. How many Marvel fans do you think are also K-Pop fans?

Also, what's the song used?

Isn't the maker of this game Korean? Well, that explains a lot.

Indeed this all makes sense now.

So they're not going forward with the White Fox character?

I don't know about Marvel readers, but there are Marvel creators who are K-pop fans. Kris Anka is huge into K-pop, for example.

There are probably plenty of Marvel readers who listen to K-pop. And there are people like me who aren't interested in K-pop, but who like superheroes who don't fit the typical superhero mold.

This is certainly the modern way of doing a Dazzler and I think it's a fun concept.

Sounds cool, although it struck me that it also sounds like a ripoff of Blue Rose from Tiger & Bunny. Granted, J-Pop rather than K-Pop and also granted that when one is creating a character from Japan or Korea, idol singer is probably one of the top professional options.

I know K-Pop has huge followings on social media, including many a member of the Marvel/MCU Estrogen Brigade. Maybe they're hoping for crossover demographic appeal?

I discovered Marvel's Zombies Christmas Carol almost by accident and liked it so much I gave it a trope page.

Besides the adaptation itself, the art is amazing.

Anyone read Punisher MAX? I have the complete volume 2 now. Maybe it's a Guilty Pleasure, but I have a weird admiration for the villains Garth creates there to be as awful as possible. Seeing William Rawlins and Nicky Cavella together(that too) made me wonder-why doesn't the sheer Smug Snake hate sinkery of the two get violent? They're so goddamn despicable I don't know how to respond to one's critique of the other

Hmm, okay then. On one hand, more exposure to K Pop and this is the best way of modernizing the character of Dazzler (because disco is fucking dead). On the other hand, the game continues the tradition of not adding anymore X Men characters by basically riding the possibility of using Dazzler and Iceman in the game. Than again, I haven't played the game Future Fight lately and it turns out (along with Adam Warlock and Punisher in War Machine armor) X23 is in the game, thus tempting me to redownload the game to see whats up . . . wow South Park was right about these microtransaction games; even though I spent like 0 dollars on the thing and just abuse the free event awards after months of inactivity.

Fuck it, I wonder what Z Vitor is up to. He made like the best Marvel fan game that I love to play.

Marvel hires John Née as publisher.

Aaaaaand I don't have a clue who this guy is...

Apparently this guy's references include being a president for the original Wild Storm imprint.

...Yay?

Disco’s not so dead anymore, most of the popular R&B/Pop artists (your Justin Timberlakes, your Bruno Mars, et al) brought back the sound proving nothing can die.

Justin Timberblake doesn’t count because most of his sound is R&B heavy and lack any of that disco sound. Same could be said for Bruno Mars.

And beside disco DID die and was replaced with Electronic/House music (with Dubstep following in years later).

Then again what do I know? I’m mostly a metalhead anyway.

Hey someone finally remembered Joaquin Torres exists.

Freaking Mark Waid. Ms.Marvel: Wait? You have a Spider-Woman girlfriend that I totally never met before!

I can has spoilers?

Avengers: No Surrender: LOL it is fucking fitting that they referenced DC's Triumph, especially given how similar the stuff with Voyager is.

Ah. I meant more in terms of Joaqin showing up, although I'm guessing he appears in that comic, right? But from your spoiler, I'm a bit confused. Am I understanding that Voyager is supposed to be a girlfriend of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew?)? Or Spider-Man?

i think thats the point. esp. since waid created triumph

Huh for some reason I thought it was Christopher Priest who created Triumph.
