Skrull-cows would be circa '61, 'cause they're the original skrulls doing retcon for an invasion in 'Fantastic Four' #2 or 3. And they'd already been dealt with, in continuity - I believe, in 'Avengers' - and touched on in FF proper, by John Byrne, during his run. Thus, further illustrating the great continuities wars of Byrne and Morrison, and leading us to ponder the results of a Moore/Byrne team-up.
What's a shame is that the impact will have dwindled on these, especially since there's not going to be the brilliant alien-corpse-inna-alley adverts in the back of random Marvel comics, this time. And it means nothing, now, that they came under the 'Marvel Edge' banner, which was an outlet, mostly, for grim'n'gritty lite where everyone ground their teeth menacingly and Dr. Strange may have even lifted a few big guns for the cause (and a few little gems like the 'Typhoid Mary' mini), not only because Marvel Knights handled the concept with a wave of serials much superior in their presentation (with a few little blips, like Kevin Smith's 'Daredevil'), but simply, comics changed, and even Marvel isn't as generally careful now as they were then... and what the hell's up with no smoking in the 616, now, but other pulpy substances (see 'NextWave' or 'Alias' or hell, kick from NXM) can be consumed?
Skrullburgers haven't quite the impact after people've mainlined Spider-Woman, taken hits of an X-villain, or even Wolverine eating parts of himself. |
