from marvel’s war of kings: darkhawk #2, words by cb cebulski, art by harvey tolibao
You should be able to control your anger when you encounter:
1) Rush hour traffic
2) Underdone omelet
3) Stubbed toe
4) Your mother being put into a coma a couple hours ago by a giant monster from space
Clearly, Chris Powell, bka Darkhawk, is wrong to be upset here. Maybe he should get himself under control, as this fine young beacon of rationality and sense is suggesting!

Man I’ve hated how WHINY everyone writes Mikey since Vaughn came up with the Excelsior/Loners thing during his “Runaways” run. Her going back to being Turbo ranks just behind Angelica going back to being Firestar and Star-Thief or Rom popping up in the space Marvel books…
Hey, she knows exactly how to manage her emotions – inject another milligram of silicone into her lips, and re-enact a scene from a “True Romance” comic, complete with agonised dialogue and stock poses!
Hehe, how can you read Dark Hawk?
I used to read that book back in the day, tho. Embarrassed to say.

Does that mean she did or she should?
A surefire sign you’re artist might have spent too much time drawing robo-armor and muscle men as a child and neglected things like realistic proportions and faces is when you cannot tell the age difference between the main characters much younger girlfriend and his mother.
Also I might have spent too much time READING about muscle men and robo-armor rather than doing my English homework. You’re ….
Darkhawk was in high school when Turbo was a college student – the age thing is the other way around.
I’m glad I’m not the only one sick of Loners. Until that came along, I’d have bought a six-issue miniseries featuring ex-New Warriors and Power Packers if all they did was talk and eat lunch: in Loners, that was exactly what they did, and even threw in some of the laziest woman-refrigerating I’ve ever read for good measure.
When Turbo and Julie Power finally stop being whiny fantasy-girlfriends for wannabe screenwriters slumming in comics, I’m so buying the shit out of that book.
@AlexC: I’m with you, there. Is that guy an adult?
I had already given up reading the book by this page. After the first few pages of bad art that couldn’t tell a story coupled with dialogue that never got higher than summation, I didn’t feel the need to keep reading it. I was just skimming it. Had I read this page then I probably would have been even more annoyed.
I did see that the two part story in “WoK: Darkhawk” is just setting up the further adventures of Darkhawk in the four part “WoK: Ascension.” So why didn’t Marvel just make the Darkhawk mini 6 issues?
And while it made sense to include Darkhawk #1 as a reprint in the first book, I didn’t see a lot of value in #2 in this issue. But I wonder if Ascension will have #3?
I really like the girl’s pose in the 4th panel. All “tweedle-dee i’m a bird”.
