What Do I Know?

Its that time again  (it’s actually well past that time) when we look at the Marvel Universe as seen through the comics that came out this past Wednesday, and then mercilessly strip mine them for ideas for milestones. Our first stop on our tour of the Marvel Universe on Wednesday is a trip to outer space and a look at

As the first Marvel Now issues begin to surface, and we get plenty of rumors and rampant speculation, let’s turn our attention mining the issues that did come out for some milestone inspiration.  Join me, won’t you?

On a whim, I picked up Avengers Academy #38.  It looked like fun, especially in the wake of the very serious tone of the AvX wrap up.  As usual, I wouldn’t be doing my job as a guy that reads comics and runs a MHRP game if I didn’t think of some milestones inspired by the issue. This one is

After reading a my Wednesday comics once again, here are some milestones inspired by actual comics!  Yet again!  No, really!  Let’s jump into the fray . . .

Yesterday was the Wednesday from Hell.  I’d give you details, but then you’d have to kill me.  Suffice to say, I have now warmly snuggled up with my tablet full of new comics, and I’ve got some more Milestone ideas for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. First up, inspired by Hawkeye #2 and Clint’s new partnership with Kate Bishop. I Look At

Some more recently released/inspired Milestones for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying.  We’ll start with one inspired by Web of Spider-Man #129.2.  Howard can always use a new set of Milestones . . .
