Even their database can be compromised by a lone Earth mortal with a tapeworm virus. Perhaps the TVA needs to get its own house in order before sending their Minutemen out into the timestream to make arrests.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-55824027613330698612019-01-30T08:47:03.158-05:002019-01-30T08:47:03.158-05:00Think it is ironic Simonson is arguing that a grou...Think it is ironic Simonson is arguing that a group is responsible for protecting the time stream around the same time his wife had helped introduce Cable in New Mutants, the ultimate Marvel time paradox. <br /><br />I like this story but have a hard time reading it without wondering where the TVA was when the Avengers brought Two Gun Kid back from the past with them.Jarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-42054578826284267052019-01-30T07:25:01.987-05:002019-01-30T07:25:01.987-05:00Murray, you're a font of information and persp...Murray, you're a font of information and perspective, as usual. :D<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-24651234022399009662019-01-30T07:14:33.096-05:002019-01-30T07:14:33.096-05:00Such organizations as the TVA tend to give anyone ...Such organizations as the TVA tend to give anyone trying to weave a continuity for the Marvel Universe a nasty twitch in the left eye. I used to be one of those poor fans, but years (and dozens of re-re-reboots of said universe) have scraped away such concerns. I'm chill now.<br /><br />STILL, Reed and Doom's little duel is a playground squabble compared to the shenanigans other Marvel characters have gotten up to. Reed barely ticks off a few highlights mentioning the Avengers and X-Men. Where was the TVA when Sise-neg swept backwards thru time to become God (with only Dr. Strange trying to thwart him)? Where was the TVA when the Tomorrow Man recruited Thor to stop the Time Twisters from splintering all reality? And for goodness sakes, why haven't they done anything about Kang stomping up and down history with his bloody, muddy boots?<br /><br />Okay, maybe not as chill as I thought.<br /><br />Of the two characters tumbling into nothingness, one is obviously Supergirl. <i>Crisis on Infinite Earths</i> would have still been reasonably fresh in the minds of comicbook fans when this was written. The figure near her I can't guess at.Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.com
