Spoilers… Today, Marvel publishes Dazzler #3 and Spider-Boy #13, and both of them end up in Madripoor…
…but not Wolverine, even with his Double Patch look, he is stuck out in Kansas in Uncanny X-Men #6. Sorry Logan.
Bullseye and his new sidekick Spider-Girl are in the air, en route to Madripoor to take part in a competition of sorts. But they are not alone in that journey.
The Marvel fictitious version of a fictitious idea of Singapore, full of swarthy Asian pirate types and tropes in a libertarian organised-criminal free-for-all with a mix of bars, drug dens, casinos and cock-fighting dens. It was recently recreated for the TV series The Falcon & The Winter Soldier – though without a single Asian figure. Is that more or less racist?
While the Dazzler gang, have managed to keep a Krakoan spaceship from the old days. Being, like, six months ago. But they all end up in the same place. And we get some potential new characters…
You saw them here first…
But you definitely saw them all in Madripoor. Say, I wonder if Bullseye and Spider-Girl took some time off for a concert? Spider-Girl is a mutant, too. Of course, they are singing in English, but what language do they speak in Madripoor?
Madripoorian? That's new, right? Editor Nick Lowe, did you just invent a new language? Madripoor is meant to have English, French, and Filipino as its main languages. Or rather, it used to, I guess. Okay, Madripoorian, it is now. This is the first time it's been referred to… and if anyone googles it, they will now get Bleeding Cool articles. Just like with "amaxazu"…
