I think part of the problem is nobody save the writer knows who's under the helmet, so she's only being written as a girl who is now Thor. The other weird thing that wasn't in the pages I posted is her inner monologue sounds more like a confused and over-excited teenager than Thor. For some reason she thinks in normal, modern English but speaks as an Asgardian. It's just all very silly, especially when other women heroes like Ms. Marvel and usually She-Hulk are written pretty well lately.
Seeing as we don't really know who the new Thor is, it may be written that way on purpose. It may actually BE a nervous hyperactive teenage girl.
I hope not, that's already the angle they're using on Ms. Marvel, I don't feel like it'd work as well for Thor.
I dunno, it could be good. Maybe a whole Shazam/Billy Batson sort of thing could work. Yes, I still hate that they don't call him Captain Marvel anymore, but what are you gonna do? For serious, though, how does that even work? Every time he introduced himself, he'd transform back into Billy.
I feel like Kamala is more enthusiastic than hyper-active. It's nice to see someone excited about being a superhero instead of the "Woe is me, this burden to bear! Angstangstangstangstangstangst*angst" that's become a staple.

Did you ever read anything with Star Girl in it from DC. She was a great example of this type of character. Bubbly, upbeat and absolutely tickled pink to be a superhero. I believe she had to beg her uncle (I think he was Atom Smasher) to get into the hero biz.
I always enjoyed her episodes in JLU, she's a fun character.
Posted this in the Epic Win thread as well. My name is now in comics! Sort of. Chew - one of my favourite comics - published an e-mail I sent them!
This isn't Orange is the new Black...Dammit, Nick! Four times I refreshed my alerts because I thought I kept clicking on the same thread!
Identical posts confuse me.
(And I know one of you dorks are going to try to make identical posts in other threads because of it. I'm on to you.)
Orange is the New Chew?
Wolverine: Weapon X
HOLY SHIT- do I love this story. The colors, the Roninesque designs, the fact that they turn an X-men character into a horror movie monster, its just freaking great.

Read Secret Wars #1.
Welp.
[DOUBLEPOST=1431022513,1431022414][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, this page was amazing.
Welp.
Maybe among all of Punisher's guns is a water pistol?

I'm always sad when he's grouped with villains because lately he's been identifying as more of a hero.
Secret Wars: It's weird to say, but I was kind of glad to see
Reed finally lose. Dude has had this invincible family for decades and never lost anything, really, while everyone around him always suffered.

Same. On that note...
I was also excited to see Ultimate Reed really flexing his muscles. He's never really been taken seriously due to him being in the Ultimate Universe - but his involvement really brought down the 616.
Also, Miles is definitely on Ultimate Reed's ship now. Can't wait to see how that turns out.

Well I figure it's a big title, so there's bound to be someone in here besides BH and I reading it.
Also, I'm still torturing myself by reading Amazing Spider-Man. Slott sucks. Black Cat's character has been completely destroyed, Pete's losing a bit too hard lately, and now we've got Renew Your Vows coming up, so that should be interesting to see. I guess it all won't matter soon anyway with Secret Wars going on, but man I hope once it's all over there's some shakeup on writing/art for some of these books. Slott and Ramos need to go.
It's really too bad, she was kind of a fun antihero that Pete would run into from time to time, now she's this bloodthirsty, greedy ball of anger just because of some street cred she suddenly cares about (and even after learning the truth behind everything, still just says "eh whatever I'm evil now").

I think the issue with Slott's interpretation is that he turned Black Cat into a mustache twirling villain with no real motivation on why she's become this queen bee of New York crime.
Also, I'm getting real tired of Peter Parker being the worst Spider-Man. Kaine is incredibly strong and talks to spiders, Silk is faster and has better webbing, Miles has cloaking and that weird power where he can 'sting' people, Ultimate Jessica Drew (plz make it over into the 616) is just too qt.
It's mostly that, really. I'm sure there's all sorts of crazy shit she's done I don't know/remember, but she's basically Snidely Whiplash at the moment.
And I agree, SpOck won constantly until Pete came back, and then almost immediately everything started going back to below Parker Luck levels of bad. Like I said earlier it all ends soon anyway thanks to Secret Wars/Battleworld, but I just hope Peter gets a win in the end.

The rumor is Peter Parker is being replaced by Miles after this event.
Also, Rage of Ultron takes place after Secret Wars and
it didn't look good for Peter.
You should read Spider-Man and the X-Men though. It's amazing and it's the Spidey we always wanted. I think it's only five issues?
Yeah I've read Spider-Man/X-Men, it's what Pete should have been written as from the start.
I've been reading Chew from the beginning, but I found my favourite page so far from the whole series. THIS is why I love comics:
I'm waaaaaaaay behind on Chew, but man what I have read is just so much fun.
Poyo is seriously the best damn thing about that comic. Especially when they start saying he's not available due to being off on an assignment. Which is followed up with two-page spreads like this.
