It’s no secret that Professor Xavier and Magneto’s Krakoan “experiment” has its flaws as a utopia. Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird Image: Steve Orlando, Nyla Rose, David Cutler/Marvel Comics With the close of War of the Amazons comes a special issue just for Nubia’s ascendance as queen - it’s an anthology structure from multiple writers and artists, but far and away my favorite bit was a flashback to Nubia and the Martian Manhunter discussing their feelings on being a Black superhuman in Man’s World, and what to do about it. Nubia: Coronation Special #1 Image: Vita Ayala, Darryl Banks/DC Comics Of course, the central story of a bareknuckle brawl between One Human Woman Who Doesn’t Respect Robot Dominance and A Robot Specifically Engineered to Kick Box helped. I took a chance on Metal Society #1, knowing nothing about it going in, and found that it drew me right in to a world where robots dominate post-apocalyptic humanity.

You show me a the Doom Above All Dooms, whose base is a freakin’ Ego the Living Planet Doom? That rules. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week.
What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. on the other hand, what could be more obvious than a Doom who refuses to settle for ruling Latveria, or the world, or the universe, and comes gunning for the multiverse itself? A Doom who uses brainwashed parallel Dooms instead of Doombots. No, this is a Doom fierce enough to subjugate other Dooms. The Council of Doom? Perish the thought - Doctor Doom has no peers, be they man or god. And this week, with artists Jim Towe and Guru-eFX, Aaron introduces another. In his Avengers, Jason Aaron has riffed mightily on that utterly comic book idea of cooperation between parallel selves, first with the punnilly named Council of Red, an interdimensional alliance of Mephistos. Of course the super-intelligent science god Reed Richards would seek peer cooperation with his own multiversal selves. When Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham introduced the Council of Reeds, an interdimensional body composed entirely of different Mister Fantastics, it was both a surprise and retrospectively obvious.
There are some ideas in comics that are as original as they are inevitable.
