Thoughts

The Cockrum Relaunch Story continues, with the All-̶N̶e̶w̶ Quite Old Actually X-men going on a mission in Murderworld. The issue wastes little time in getting to what Murderworld stories do so well, individual heroes caught in their own personal deathtraps before breaking out and into each others and generally building the chaos.

It’s great stuff, and once again, reinforces my idea that this version of Arcade would be great for a modern MCU movie. I am struggling to think who they might cast, though. I initially think of someone like Sam Rockwell, Ryan Gosling or even Simon Helberg but they’re probably too old now. Arcade has to be a young spoilt brat. Someone on a Disney or Nikolodeon kids TV show suddenly given a darker edge. Half the cast of Glee turned out to be one the Dark Side, so maybe there’s someone working in those type of shows today that could fit the bill.

Fun Panel

The ending to Don’t Look Now We could have had.

It was a Product of its Time

I’m a big fan of Polaris’ costume. Even by the standards of comic book heroes, its insanely impractical. It doesn’t even feel like a product of the early eighties. It has real fifties vibes. In an awesome way.
