One thing I wonder about the Illuminati

One thing I wonder about the Illuminati

Not the secret group that runs the world, mind you, but the one that runs the Marvel Universe. How is Black Bolt a member? He cant talk! What does he do at the meetings? Just hang out? Is he their secretary? Does he take down their minutes? How much of a bitch must it be to travel from the moon to their meetings? I mean, I quit the English Honors Society at my college because meetings were an hour out of my way. That commute must be a real bitch.

That said, I can understand Black Bolts position in that group, because I spent most my time at those meetings not saying anything. And wearing a tuning fork on my forehead. No one talked like any of Bendiss characters, mind you. And it was all women. And the most important thing we did was plan fundraisers. We didnt start a civil war between members of the honors society. Thats one of my big regrets in life. But otherwise, I can totally relate to Black Bolts position in the Illuminati. That kind of character identification was the hallmark of the old school Marvel Comics, and its nice to see Bendis keeping it alive to this day, even in the midst of a 492 part crossover which will rock the Marvel Universe to its core and surely crack in half this time, I bet.

Really, Im just impressed that theres one character in a Bendis comic that cant yack your head off. Well, he can, but you get what Im saying. Hey! Maybe thats why Bendis chose him! So he can have someone who can destroy the world with one monologue! What a clever bastard that Bendis is! I never knew how much fun typing the word Bendis can be. Bendis Bendis Bendis! Im still not buying any of Civil War, mind you. Unless one of those 492 issues involved is Black Bolts Destructive Exposition Hulabaloo. That I would by three copies of, including the Mike Turner variant which is an anorexic Madusa in a bikini.
