Wedding Bells

Four scans from Fantastic Four #569.

This is the final issue of the extended Mark Millar run (because of Hitch's mother's death, he had to stop working on the art for this issue or give up doing Reborn).

So the Marquis is defeated, Doom gets a really, really big power upgrade, and the issue ends with the Ben/Debbie wedding, which runs into a snag when Ben doesn't show up.  Debbie eventually finds him.




Debbie gets a drink, then leaves and runs into Sue and a bunch of other heroes, who have also been trying to find Ben.



English nerd interjection:  They're both wrong (and, quite possibly, Millar knows this); Tennyson was talking about the death of a friend.

Anyway, Debbie remarks that that must be a guy thing, because she doesn't know any women who'd make the same choice (Sue agrees).



Johnny heads off, and Reed's buying.

Stuart Immonen does a great job of mimicking Hitch's art here.

And two from Wonder Woman #34.

While most of the issue is Diana and Dinah girling it up, there's an interlude on Themyscira, as regime change continues.



Ah, Philippus; you never get to actually do much, but you're always there.

One of the things I found odd about the "Rise of the Olympian" arc was how little Achilles actually did during it; from what's been shown of him so far, I do like him.



Zeus's replacement-Diana has apparently inherited real-Diana's awful taste in the opposite sex.  "On this distrustful island, she's the most distrustful and man-hating of them all!  Marry me, baby!"

While Phillipus giving up her weapon in the service of not making life difficult makes sense, I'm really surprised none of the Bana walked up and tried to gut Achilles the moment that "he means well" spilled out of his mouth.

Why should they bother. They know he'll get screwed soon enough. Diana wasn't betraying her people, she abandoned the ship that's been sinking for 3000 years... Zeus' wisdom.

Heh.

I confess, I'm going to be interested to see Artemis' reaction (since I highly doubt she's actually dead) to this when she gets back.

So, how long until Sebastian Bellesteros is brought back to fight Achilles?

If you're going to do a gender flipped version of Wonder Woman (and so far that seems to be the idea behind Achilles), you might as well go all the way.

It's not fair that Millar can get Ben so right but screw up just about every other aspect of the F4 and Doom.

Poor Ben.

If Spiderman is invited to weddings and other hero gathering and it was shown in public. Why is he still hated by public? it been 10 freaking years snice he supposly started. New Yorkers should be used to him and not get so stupidly hostile towards him.

So Ben, I see Alica is still alive and fine. There's a stupid logic in breaking up with your girlfriend just cause you don't want to endanger her. She's still has the connection and villians who do their research will logically still target her even if the hero send her away. Doesnt mean she can't still be used as bait or a weak point.

Motto. It's not like a villain is going to think "hummm, I could kidnap and/or murder this woman, whom the Thing loves, but she is not his wife so I shouldn't bother." If anything, as his wife, she'd be more protected because she'd live in the Baxter Building and she'd be almost always near heroes.

There is a certain logic to picking the most disagreeable person. In a "If I can make THIS work everything else should be a piece of cake!" kind of way.

Probably not the wisest course of action, but still.

I kind of feel sorry for Achilles. He obviously thinks that the regime change is bullshit and that the "let's make a thousands-year warrior race suddenly give up their beloved weapons!" policy is incredibly idiotic, but he can't bring himself to disobey his God and maker, so he ends up taking all the blame and resentment for Zeus' decisions. Talk about crappy luck.

Anyway, I'm not 100% sure on one thing: is this guy THE Achilles whom Zeus brought back to life, or is he just a newly-created guy who was named Achilles because it's an important name?

Zeus's replacement-Diana has apparently inherited real-Diana's awful taste in the opposite sex. "On this distrustful island, she's the most distrustful and man-hating of them all! Marry me, baby!"

Probably he is thinking something along the lines of "if I can convince her to accept me, all the others will follow."

The superhero genre as a whole seriously needs to quit with this bullshit of I HAVE TO SPURN THE WOMAN I LOVE BECAUSE OTHERWISE SHE'S DOOMED TO DIE OR SUFFER A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH, because seriously, if you can't unpack the unholy fuck-ton of misogynistic WRONGNESS that's inherent in that belief ...

Oh my goodness, why would you seat all those guys together? (But yay! Dorma!)

I think it's a bit rubbish to introduce sexist language as well as the physical battle of the sexes ("sheathe your claws").

Marvel doesn't give Stuart Immonen enough credit. He and Kathryn are WALKING GOLD.

Why does Namor appear to be interested in whatever Spidey and Daredevil are whispering about? That's rather unlike him.

Hell, he's even leaning back and twisting his head to hear them better. I guess they must be talking about Sue's underwear or something.

That's Immonen!? Holy crap. I knew there was a reason he was my favourite artist. Can we just have him draw everything? =D

Also, I guess they wanted to bring everything right back to status quo...again. No big changes here, no siree! We gotta have our Fantastic Four the exact same all the time, no matter what! Because, you know, a happy moment for a longtime and beloved character isn't what any reader wants to read.

You know what really didn't make any sense? Daredevil. Because I mean man, there should be so many more dead ladies hovering over his head. Also, he's a bad example because Elektra did come back from the dead. He's the lucky one! ....Sorta.
