Manic Monday--The Only Item You Need On Your Résumé

We continue looking at great character moments from Secret Avengers #23.

Captain America is showing an old war buddy around, and introduces him to Flash Thompson, the all-new, all-different Venom. And as, old soldiers are wont to do, they have to compare penis sizes a little bit.

But, as Flash find out, you don't do that with Cap's pals, 'cause you can't win:



HELLS YEAH!!

Jim Hammond 1, Flash Thompson zero!!!

Because really, this is the only item you need on your résumé:

Thank you, Rick Remender, for remembering What If #4 (1977)!

Manic Monday--Hank McCoy Is On Pym Patrol!

The other day, I criticized Rick Remender's portrayal of Hawkeye in Secret Avengers #23.

In fairness, though, in that same issue he does give us a couple of the best Avengers bits in years.

Specifically, when Henry Pym is fretting about the lack of proper computer systems on the Secret Avengers new super-secret super-small satellite base:



"At no point, while I draw breath, will you ever create another artificial intelligence."

Hot damn, it's about time someone called out Pym like that!! It's nice to know that some people in the Marvel Universe share my opinion of the "Scientist Supreme" (sorry, Dan Slott, I love ya, but that was just dorky...)

And thanks, Beast, for watching out for us all....make sure you keep that Pym on double secret probation!!
