Manic Monday Bonus--This Is Why The Canadian Health Care System Is Better Than Ours!

Puck is in the hospital...he got a little bit disemboweled, but he's almost better now...and he's getting a lot of TLC:

Puck's not exaggerating...the nurses of giving him a lot of attention!

Yes, the ladies love Puck!!

But what did that one nurse say?

So it's no surprise when just a couple of minutes later...

Hey, Mr. Ego--maybe they just think you're extra stinky!!

Nah, I can't stay mad. Puck has a way with the ladies, and we're all just jealous.

From Alpha Flight #5 (1983)

Creative Bankruptcy

So, we all know that Marvel's creative strategy for the past few years has been to...borrow heavily...from DC.

Still, they can't keep that up, can they?

Well, yesterday Marvel announced a spin-off of the Chaos War event, Chaos War: Dead Avengers. Written by Fred Van Lente and drawn by Tom Grummett, it features a whole bunch of Avengers--back from the dead!! (Really--like we needed Dr. Druid resurrected?)

Today, they announced Chaos War: Alpha Flight, starring--you guessed it--all the original, dead members of Alpha Flight brought back to life.

Sigh.

Obviously, there will be more announcements to come--Chaos War: Spider-Man, reviving Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben, anyone?--and I wager 50,000 quatloos that some of the dead will be permanently revived.

Geez louise, Marvel, couldn't you even wait a full year until you ripped off Blackest Night?!? Really?? You're that desperate for ideas?!?
