[Protoclown]

Yeah, the lack of real villains in Civil War was kind of dumb. I mean, okay, you had the Thunderbolts (which was a STUPID idea for them to be recruited like that anyway), but where was Dr. Doom? Or Red Skull? Or Magneto (or is he dead again...I can never remember)? Or any number of other major Marvel villains who would have had a FIELD DAY taking advantage of all the chaos caused by the villains fighting one another.

But no. Not so much as a fucking peep. I mean, we saw a couple street thugs and D-list Spider-Man villains "taking advantage" of the situation in the lamest way possible, but it's like the Marvel editors just completely and willfully overlooked most of their villains during the whole event.

As for the Batman/Alien comics, no, I haven't done anything yet, but you better believe that I will...I was thinking of doing a Longbox column on them someday, but they might just make for a good next Protocomic instead.
