Marvels epic line should get there at some point. Thhe entire Lee/Ditko run is already out. Are you talking about these or the Omnibus? The latter usually have nice colours. but I haven't checked this one in particular. Are they flat, or four color? MW style flat colouring, really doesn't work for me on the material they reprint.

Actually there's 16 issues of Spider Man Classics. By the way Right, one reprints Amazing Fantasy #15, Spidey's debut, and the rest reprint Amazing Spider-Man #1-15, hence they stopped reprinting with Amazing Spider-An #15 eventhough it was in issue 16 of Spider-Man classics. -M Do you know of any reprints of ASM #16-56, other than Marvel Tales and the MWs? In color.

That thing you wonder about... I'd say yes, he'd survive. As for the reunions, I missed the one involving Bron, but that's the price you pay for expediting things.

I still have the Spider Man Classic series which its when I bought them back in the 1990s when I was younger. I liked the recolouring on those, mostly by Yanchus, unfortunately, it only covered up to ASM #15. That's a shame, because the original colours sucked up to the late 50s, and the MWs are even worse. Do you know of any reprint with "improved" colours?

I didn't like how Cersei bragged about knowing about everything that went on, when she obviously didn't. And not taking the chance, to exact vengeance on a certain someone, looks strange to me.
Can we make a poll, about who's going to survive next episode's expedition?

Am I still the only one, who thinks they just look better on a big retina display?

Littlefinger's sexuality is strange at best, we don't know what he requieres of a companion, or if he even truly desires one, but I think he was honest, when he said he wanted the Iron Throne with her by his side. I imagine he must want her to be "deserving", of such a place. I believe what Littlefinger "requires" in a companion is someone who can further his goals to get onto the Iron Throne. Sansa, for all of the growing up she's done, still wants to be a Lady, to have servants and a keep and be waited on, and now that Jon is on Dragonstone getting his obsidian and making googly eyes at Dany, she's running the show at Winterfell. She has no idea what she's doing, but the idea of playing the part of a noblewoman still is attractive in her eyes. Littlefinger knows that with the Knights of the Vale along with the northern armies at his back, he can wait it out while Cersei and Dany rip each other's armies to shreds, then swoop in and clean up the rest. Sure, he'll need Sansa "leading" the north, but make no mistake, it's pure Littlefinger behind the scenes, pulling the strings and making the puppets dance like he's used to. I don't see both things as being exclusive, there're many aspects to a complex personality, and he's obviously a complex character. If she doesn't serve his needs, then she may not meet his standards. Again, assuming he's even looking for a companion, it could also be that he just wants the Iron Throne and a puppet by his side.

Littlefinger sees Sansa as someone he can manipulate. If he has to woo her or bed her, he will, but she is just one more person for him to play. Littlefinger's sexuality is strange at best, we don't know what he requieres of a companion, or if he even truly desires one, but I think he was honest, when he said he wanted the Iron Throne with her by his side. I imagine he must want her to be "deserving", of such a place.

Littlefinger has never been driven by his sexual pulsions, unlike most characters. He loved katherine, but that ship has obviously sailed. I really don't htink He is on Arya's list, there's no cause for, is there? She probably is turning out to be the most clever member of her family, and she's starting to manipulate people, in the same fashion Littlefinger does, and I think he sees that in her. I still hope for a return of Syrio Forel though. I also think he's into Sansa, despite whatever failed schemes he may've involved her in, not that long ago. Where did you see Arya manipulating people? She's a killer, and she's the perfect killer, because she's both skilled with Needle, and has the powers of DD and The Chameleon combined. We never actually saw the outcome of Syrio Forel's fight with Meryn Trant, did we?

TWD also is set in a relatively grounded world (besides the flesh eating zombies) so you can't really do anything with it besides show people killing walkers, gathering supplies, or fighting amongst themselves. That's literally it. Lack of imagination, is what's giving us those as the only options. Let's play, for example, with the concept that sets that world apart from the real one: the virus that causes people's brains to reset after death, to some degree. Those brains are different, and could have unique qualities other than being really dumb. Now, let's throw some Moore into the mix and apply The Anatomy Lesson, to the zombies which fed off the remains of Glenn's brains. What idea did he have upon dying? "Maggie, I will find you." That's a powerful notion that could linger on those zombies and at some point, they could come to Maggie's aid. That'd be a neat turn of events. And that's just an example, but the writers should use their imagination, otherwise yes, we'll get stuck with variations of the same stories.

"The Pickle Man, an old wives tale." There's no limit to these writers imagination.

Looks like the only one in a position to pass that info along to Arya, is the entity previously known as Bran, which doesn't seem to care much about these matters anymore. I disagree. While Bran has seemed emotionless since becoming the Three-Eyed Raven, I think he still does care. Cases in point: 1. As soon as he returned to Winterfell, he asked for Jon, presumably to relay info about Jon's parentage. If he had no feelings about Jon, he wouldn't be looking for him immediately. 2. He used the "Chaos is a ladder" line with Littlefinger, which is what Littlefinger told Varys a few seasons ago. Some of the rest of Littlefinger's speech was "Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them..." Bran didn't let the fall break him, but he used it to make himself more powerful than he could have ever imagined. Bran wants Littlefinger to know he's seen Littlefinger's machinations, and this serves as a warning. If he didn't care, he wouldn't bother. 1. He could just want to see Jon to advise him, in the coming battle with the Night King, we'll have to wait and see. But even if he wants to give him news about his real lineage, that could be because Jon needs to know that, in order to pursue his destiny. 2. He also mentioned Arya's list, and Sansa's wedding. Maybe he gets off rattling people (not that Arya was very shaken). These visionaries are real show-offs; Varys has had his own boat rocked by not one, but two priestesses. Clever people should learn to steer clear of those with a higher calling.

Wouldn't it be fun if he ends up getting stabbed by Arya with the dagger he gave to Bran, and that Bran gave it to Arya because he'd already seen her do it? Was he on her list? It's not like she dislikes the occasional murder, but first things first, right?
