Major Disaster is dead? I kind of liked him during Kelly’s JLA run where he started haveing the power to do pretty much anything as long as he said “disaster” afterwards.
“I just gave you a heart attack, or you could think of it as an internal organ…disaster!”
But I still don’t get the whole “let’s meet in our secret identities in public and openly discuss secert stuff” It just doesn’t jibe with the characters.
Ken:Doesn’t make up for the lack of a Secret Invasion remix so far
Honestly, if Marvel can keep the ball rolling, I don’t see why I’d bother. The worst thing about Secret Invasion thus far has been that the third issue kind of dragged; if that’s the worst thing you can say about it when it’s done, it’ll be a huge success.
Of course, issue #4 is where Civil War really went off the rails, so…
Coren: Well, Paul Booker isn’t dead. He retired from supering because it was feeding his addictive tendencies, and when some punk kid came along wanting to be the next Major Disaster he said “sure, why not, take the trenchcoat while you’re at it.” And then the kid got himself killed by Superboy Prime while Booker settled down and ran an auto repair shop in San Francisco. He plays poker with Jack Knight and Iron Munro once a week.
Major Force’s death was really lame. In fact, you’d have to look REALLY REALLY HARD in order to FIND it, since there was a big-mega-clusterfuck going on with millions of random characters killing each other. (Infinite Crisis #7)
ACK— I mean Major DISASTER. Oh well, screw it. Lets just pretend that it was some newbe named Majore force that got his neck twisted while Disaster was off chilling somewhere.
I wish Major Force WAS dead, though. I dislike him. I’d have Firestorm turn the air in his lungs into acid, I dislike him so much. And Iron Monro rules. He is in Manhunter now and so it is awesome.
Damn, I actually thought this was real for a moment there. Hell, not for a moment, until i read the comments. And then i realized I was on MGK, not on scans daily….
The beautiful, beautiful irony is all the recent interviews saying things like “Amazons Attack came out too soon,” “Countdown came up well after work on Final Crisis had already begun,” etc. Soooo…… not enough meetings? Too many meetingzzzzzzz? Meetings with the wrong people? Meetings in the wrong locations? (”Memo: Do not hold editorial meetings at the French Maid”) Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, watching a couple of headless chickens running around spouting blood all over my entertainment dollars
I can say with certainty that Major Disaster’s death was THE most pointless death in comics. I mean, Superboy Prime is snapping his neck in a way that’s barely even on panel to the point that 99% of readers miss it. The only reason they even know Major Disaster is dead is because of Wikipedia or things like this.
A meeting for everything? I mean that pac-man thing eating all the parallel universes I understand but fire and earth quake I superman call just use Ice breath and and flight problem solved.

They saved Risk, though! Twice!
Who else hopes he loses his legs, too?

Pretty good. Doesn’t make up for the lack of a Secret Invasion remix so far, but pretty good.

I laughed, but that doesn’t make the pain I feel from being a Marvel fan go away.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this is genius.

Don’t worry about Secret Invasion…. Quesada will find a way to f*** it up by the final issue. He always does.

TAKE IT BACK! MAJOR DISASTER IS NOT DEAD!! *mad face*

That’s what I say, anyhow.

Heck, I think Secret Invasion is a plus just because heroes are beating up VILLAINS for a change.
Hooray for lowered standards!!!

hey now, just because Secret Invasion doesn’t suck doesn’t mean it can’t be parodied.

I mentally replaced all the characters with people from The Authority and suddenly this conversation seems perfectly plausible.

Stealers Wheel sure knew DC editorial. And ear removal.

I thought it was Boss Moxie that got killed in IC #7, not Major Disaster.
