I always get a smile on my face when I see Cardiac. You ridicilous 90's goofball you.

I'm getting that for Faiza. I loved Captain Britain and the MI-6. I'm so happy she's doing what she's best at and that Ewing decided to include her.

*during the brainstorming for this story*

"So how many medical doctors who are superheroes or at least vigilantes can we use for this?"

"Dr. Druid?" "Psychiatrist and a bit of a dickhead. Next?"

"Dr. Doom?" "NO!"

"Dr. Mid-Nite?" "Wrong company."

"Dr. Octavius?" "Isn't he dead right now? Besides, wrong kind of doctor."

"Dr. Light?" "Again, wrong company. Okay for those who freelance, the ones from MARVEL only, please"

"Dr. Banner?" "Not that kind of doctor and NO!"

"Dr. Faustus?" "EVIL AND NO!"

"What about Manikin from Alpha Flight?" "Who?"

Psychiatrists are MDs. Just sayin'. Plus he would have the best background in neuroanatomy and neurphysiology in that team aside from Strange himself, who's a neurosurgeon. Jane and Faiza Hussein are Emergency Medicine specialists, Cardiac is a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon with a bioengineering background, and Manikin is presumably a GP, since he gets introduced as an intern and we never see him pursue speciality training after that.

Btw, doesn't Hank McCoy have an MD degree? I remember Cassandra Nova compelling him to dump his diploma in his litter box.

Dr. Druid is indeed an MD, but he also seems like the creepy uncle who goes to his nephew's college graduation so he can make passes at co-eds. Plus, Strange is probably uncomfortable around a guy who's basically his beta version.

Is Doc Samson still evil? He's a psychiatrist.

He's not evil at the moment.
I think.

Look, at least they didn't try to recruit some other villainous doctors.
Imagine grabbing Dr. Arthur Nagan... aka Gorilla-Man of the Headmen (a surgeon with a human head on a gorilla body.)

Leonard's not evil right now... but I'm not 100% sure you could call him good right now either, since he's supporting Banner and the Devil Hulk in their goals.

Druid is also appearing in Strange's book right now, and his being alive again is an object of concern.

I am surprised Jericho Drumm's been left out of this, though.

In fairness, Samson's support of Bruce is him trying to reign his patient in, not condone what he's doing

That's a good point.

And considering Cardiac kind of straddles the line between antihero and villain, it's not like they're being especially choosy.

But Night Nurse probably doesn't have Len's current phone number.

Apparently, Jericho's a psychologist, which explains why they probably skipped him when looking for medical-type doctors.

Also he is in Savage Avengers right now.

Didn't notice till now the Death of Deaths has multiple heads.
So if it's the opposite of the Living Tribunal, what's he / she / it / they / [delete where appropriate] called? The Dead Tribunal?

(My, all gettin' kind of Discworld up in this comic.)

"I handled weirder stuff when I was in Alpha Flight"

Are you sure, you don't know what it is yet?

Manikin: I stand by my statement.

I love the visual short hand of using the Valkyrie sense to just outright tell readers that "yeah the D-Lister from Alpha Flight is the one most in danger of dying"

I hate this series. It undid the poignant ending of Jane!Thor without introducing anything interesting.

But Jason Aaron is the one who set up this status quo for Jane in War of the Realms... he gave her the All-Weapon and made her the new Valkyrie. So if anyone's to blame for "undoing the poignant ending of Jane!Thor" it's the same author who wrote that story in the first place.

Al Ewing just rolled with the character afterwards, and he's actually brought some interesting developments to her... now she's acting as a healer and protector rather than a warrior goddess, and she's more in tune with her human side even as she tries to find balance with her divine duties.

I didn't like that we had to lose the Valkyries for this.

From: [personal profile] beyondthefringe
Agreed. I do hate that they killed off all the other Valkyries (including the classic one) but then again... Asgardians have a really bad habit of not actually staying dead so if/when it's time to bring them back, it's not as hard to justify as one might think.

And Jane did visit Brun over in Valhalla, so it's not like they're "all" dead.
Just, y'know... slightly dead.

"We are--putting it generously--five mid-list superheroes."

Hey, Strange has his own movie. And so will you, Jane! And Faiza should get one if there's any justice
