The Cannon Will Never be the Same...
Comic Book Cannon
May 05, 2025
TL;DR:
We showed up late (Joe’s fault, not Jeff’s… wait, no, reversed for once). But we made up for it with Thunderbolts takes hotter than Beskar steel on Star Wars Day. Naomi Khan joined the crew and survived the gauntlet. Also, graffiti is now part of our show canon. You’re welcome.
⚡ FEATURED EPISODE ISSUE
The Incredible Hulk #222 (1978)
Written by Jim Starlin & Len Wein | Art by Jim Starlin
Bruce Banner gets buried alive in the Adirondacks with a cannibal mutant named Billy. Only Hulk emerges. You know, classic Bronze Age family drama.
🟢 Verdict: Creepy kids, toxic waste, cave-ins. Peak weird Hulk.
📍 Bonus: Joe can’t pronounce "Adirondack." HR meeting pending.

Ryan Reynolds might be cooking something. X-Force? Maybe.
Just don’t turn the MCU into the Deadpool Cinematic Universe.
