I really enjoyed the Deadpool Annual, Deadpool pretending to be Spider-Man is funnier than it has any right to be. Almost as funny is the one word balloon where Spidey pretends to be DP! Chameleon is slightly out of character as a much less subtler version of himself. Just wondering when 'Parker keeps running into poo poo he did as Superior Dickhead" stories will stop though. Avengers World gets an upgrade to the art but it still has Spencer writing it.

I have a light suspicion that maybe, just maybe, the latest issue of Nova was a bit delayed. Also, that was a very neat issue.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=52984 Kieron Gillen is leaving Iron Man for an "enormous opportunity" at Marvel. Bleeding Cool purports to have inside information on who one of the scribes for one of the new Star Wars series is going to be, and they posted a puzzle image featuring images of characters that Gillen has worked on at Marvel. Would be over the moon if it is, indeed, him.

Are you being sarcastic, or is Star Wars a worse property than Iron Man in your silly universe?

I assume with Star wars you will have more freedom to do what you want since there are no crossovers.

I was looking at the list of upcoming events for Marvel and noticed one that talks about a eight month time jump and mentions something about causing a change that shakes the 75 years of Marvel. Please tell me they are not going to pull a New 52, as I hate whenever DC just throws out of years of history to start over.

They are probably referring to whatever event Hickman will end Avengers/New Avengers with. They've mentioned it is going to be hopping ahead in time a couple times as it reaches its conclusion. I really doubt they are going to do anything close to the New 52.

Space_Butler posted:I stopped even vaguely paying attention to his Iron Man after Secret Origin of Tony Stark, has that whole "oh the adoption thing is a swerve" theory being trumpeted around ever come to pass, or is Gillen bailing after having farted that out and we're waiting for another writer to retcon it? The swerve was that it was implied that all of Tony's smarts come from that robot mucking around in his brain which turned out not to be true. I've enjoyed his run so far ever since Land left.

Space_Butler posted:So then still adopted and awaiting another writer to reverse it somehow since Disney is hell bent on making character image and backstory line up with the film universe. Gotcha. Unless he goes on a quest to find his real parents or something they don't need to retcon it, just don't bring it up.

If this was the old "Everything goes through George Lucas" Star Wars I'd say it would be a waste, but if a writer can get a little more leeway now... Then again it's loving Star Wars, so I wouldn't expect many new perspectives at first.

Candle, you're right, it could just be never brought up again, but I think that speaks to how useless of a retcon it was in the first place. And if it's that useless, it'll be an easy sell for a writer to retcon it if they want to play continuity cop. I simply mean Marvel won't be fighting to undo a change that, in the end, allows their character to more closely resemble the movies.

Even if they had 100 provisions of things you can't do, you're literally getting a universe of opportunities. Of course there's also absolutely no indication given in that article it's anything Star Wars related, unless there's something I missed.

Space_Butler posted:Latest example is Coulson. Coulson has definitely become the Clark Gregg version. That's not a bad thing at all, the newer version is a million times better, I just mean the "Cheese" character was absolutely not the Coulson in the comics now, neither in appearance (hairline, for starters) or personality. I admit it's not a completely across the board thing, but Marvel has definitely tried to align the generalities as of late. Hawkeye has been left alone because he was barely defined in the movies at all, you could do pretty much anything with him at this point because the alternative is do nothing with him. Coulson was never in the comics until he was introduced in the same storyline that introduced the black Nick Fury. He was also the "cheese" character. Also him being adopted is not important, and really has nothing to do with who Tony is. It was a way to make it seem that it he was fated to be who he was, but nope it was Tony all along. He had no real help.

He had no real help. Yeah, really. The dude is still Howard Stark's son, brilliant engineer and recovering boozehound. Being adopted doesn't somehow make him a fraud or undermine that, it's just an additional detail. There's no contradiction with the movies, unless somebody's got a secret director's cut somewhere with footage of Maria Stark giving birth to Tony and a doc administering an immediate paternity test.

I googled around and it looks like no one has an solid info on how much control Lucas has over Star Wars now. If i was to guess its about the same as GRUM has over the GoT TV show, so not much.
